Flippa Invest launches: An investment platform for growing tech businesses

On March 18, Flippa Invest officially launches, introducing a new way for accredited investors to back growing digital businesses while providing business owners with a more flexible and founder-friendly way to raise capital.

For over 16 years, Flippa has been the world’s leading platform for buying and selling online businesses, with over a million registered buyers. Now, Flippa is expanding beyond business exits and acquisitions into fundraising, allowing digital entrepreneurs to raise growth capital from a network of nearly 80,000 accredited investors.

At launch, Flippa Invest will feature five fundraising rounds by scaling digital businesses, offering investors early access to high-potential companies looking to expand.

Why Investors Should Take Notice

Flippa Invest opens the door for accredited investors to directly fund revenue-generating digital businesses—a compelling alternative to venture capital and early-stage startup investing. Unlike traditional VC-backed deals, where valuations are often inflated and businesses are pressured to scale at any cost, Flippa Invest businesses are already profitable or on a clear growth trajectory, reducing risk and offering stronger investment alignment.

Key benefits for investors include:

• Access to Exclusive Digital Deals – Invest in eCommerce, SaaS, media, marketplaces, and mobile apps before they reach acquisition-level valuations.
• Revenue-Generating Companies – Businesses raising on Flippa Invest already have customers, cash flow, and market traction.
• Flexible Investment Structures – Choose from equity, convertible notes, or group raises (SPVs) to suit different risk appetites and strategies.
• Better Risk-Return Profile – Unlike venture capital, which relies on high-risk, high-reward outcomes, Flippa Invest provides a middle ground with companies already proving success.
• Aligned Incentives – Flippa Invest businesses prioritize sustainable growth and profitability, making them attractive to investors seeking steady returns rather than speculative moonshot bets.

Investors looking to access digital businesses raising growth capital can sign up at flippa.com/invest.

What Makes Flippa Invest Different?

Flippa Invest isn’t built for unproven startups or speculative early-stage ventures. Instead, it is designed specifically for digital businesses that are already generating revenue and scaling.

To be eligible, businesses must:

• Be registered in the United States
• Operate in a digital-first industry 
• Generate growing revenues

Unlike traditional venture capital, where investors expect rapid hypergrowth and billion-dollar valuations, Flippa Invest aligns with entrepreneurs focused on sustainable growth. Investors on the platform range from experienced business operators and exited founders to private equity firms and family offices, meaning capital comes from those who understand digital business economics rather than from investors chasing the next tech unicorn.

A Structured Fundraising Process for Businesses

Flippa Invest provides business owners with a streamlined and flexible way to raise capital, while maintaining control over investor selection and deal terms. Businesses with more substantial revenues can bring their terms of an equity raise in a priced round of preferred or common stock to attract more institutional investors, while more early stage startups with smaller revenues might want to do a convertible note such as a SAFE for ease and speed to attract smaller check sizes. 

On the Flippa Invest platform, raisers can choose to raise with or without the use of a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV), also known as a Roll Up Vehicle (RUV). These two options are named:

• Group Raise – Pool investors together in one line item on your cap table via a Special Purpose Vehicle created and managed by our integrated SPV provider, Sydecar. 
• Direct Raise – Manage your own round and onboard investors directly to your cap table one at a time. Collect investments securely via our integrated escrow service, FlippaPay. 

This flexibility allows founders to tailor their fundraising strategy based on their specific growth needs while ensuring investors get structured, professional investment opportunities. 

The Role of SeedLegals in Supporting Fundraising

Flippa Invest’s official U.S. launch partner for deal structuring, legal docs, and legal support is SeedLegals. With expertise in helping businesses navigate fundraising paperwork and compliance, SeedLegals ensures that both founders and investors have a seamless experience engaging in capital raising and investing.
