Fundraising Options

Raise capital from separate or groups of investors
Direct Raise

Self-service to onboard investors directly one-by-one.

Direct Raise allows operators to self-service their round and onboard investors directly to their cap table by signing separate share purchase agreements, SAFEs, or convertible notes. This option is typically chosen for smaller rounds with the intent of raising capital from just a couple of investors.
Direct-Raise

Group Raise

Pool investors in one entity with standardised terms.

Group Raise enables operators to raise from many investors while keeping their cap table neat and tidy. This is achieved by pooling investors together in one Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV). This option is typically chosen for rounds requiring participation from more than a handful of investors.

AI Matching to +80K Investors
Our AI-driven matching engine will do all the heavy lifting of soliciting your round to over 80,000 accredited investors and line up intros with suitable investors for your offering. Once in your dealroom, you engage with them.
Dedicated Account Manager
Work with your dedicated account manager to prepare and support you through the launch of your round and beyond.
KYC, AML & Bad Actor Checks
Many of these compliance checks are required by law, including Know Your Customer (KYC), Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) bad actor checks.
K-1, Blue Sky, Tax & SEC Filings
Certain mandatory filings are required by law when fundraising in the United States.
Schedule K-1 is a federal tax document used to report the income, losses, and dividends for a business’ or financial entity’s partners.
Blue sky laws are state regulations established as safeguards for investors against securities fraud. The laws, which may vary by state, typically require sellers of new issues to register their offerings and provide financial details of the deal and the entities involved.
Other SEC filings can be found online and submitted via EDGAR.
Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV)
A special purpose vehicle is a subsidiary created by a parent company to isolate financial risk. It’s also referred to as a single or special purpose entity (SPE) as well as a roll up vehicle (RUV) as you roll up investors to one line item. SPVs are often used by venture capitalists to consolidate a pool of capital to invest in a startup.
Minimum Funding Target
This is the minimum funding target allowed for a round to be advertised on Flippa Invest. For a Group Raise, if the minimum funding target is not reached during capital call, despite having sufficient capital committed, then the raiser will be charged either:
a) $4,500 + 2% of capital raised instead of the usual $4% Platform Fee if they decide to proceed; or
b) $1,000 in the event that the raiser decides to return the collected capital and shut down the SPV.
$50,000 $225,000
Minimum Parcel Size
The minimum investment amount, or “check size”, that our platform can accept from each investor wishing to participate in your round. You can opt to increase this amount for your round.
$5,000 $2,500
Carried Interest
Carried interest is a share of profits earned by investors. Carried interest is due to the managers of the SPV during a liquidity event, e.g. the exit of a business down the line. In our case we take 10% of the profits from the SPV on a Group Raise.
N/A 10%
Distribution Fee
Proceeds and/or costs from the SPV at liquidation and/or wind-down.
N/A $200 Paid by Each Investor
US Business Entity Types
If your US-registered entity is a Limited Partnership (LP) or Limited Liability Company (LLC) business, and you do not wish to change it to an S or C corporation, then you are not eligible for a Group Raise. The only exception to this rule is if you are looking to pass the funds raised via a Group Raise through to another SPV or fund (LP or LLC). For this you will incur an additional $2,500 fee from our SPV partner, Sydecar.

The US based company has a solid track record and history in this space with more than $1.5B assets under management from over 25,000 LPs and 1,200 GPs.

What is an SPV?

A Special Purpose Vehicle/Entity (“SPV”) is a business entity that has a single limited purpose. Also sometimes referred to as Roll-Up Vehicles (RUVs), SPVs are often created to protect assets and separate liabilities of a parent or subsidiary company and roll-up investors under one line item on a cap table. Each SPV, which may share the same managing and sponsoring entity (an “SPV Organizer”), has its own operating structure, ownership structure, balance sheet, and is financially independent of any other SPV with the same SPV Organizer. While an SPV can be any entity type, they are usually either a limited liability company (LLC) or a limited partnership (LP).
A Sydecar SPV allows investors to pool funds into an SPV, allowing this investment vehicle to acquire and manage a specific asset (or multiple assets). Sydecar’s SPV product is a simple and flexible way to structure an investment fund.

What are the fees?
Launch Fee
$3,500 to create your fundraising page and market it to our base of over 70,000 accredited investors, which when matched can be engaged with in the deal room.


Platform Fee
Direct Raise: 2.5% to be paid by investors during payment processing.
Group Raise: 4% of capital raised retained of the funded SPV.


Carry
10% payable on the net capital gain of the SPV upon liquidation or an exit event (only applicable for Group Raises).
How do returns on investment work?
Returns to investors are comprised of two components

  • A capital gain on the exit of the company in a liquidity event such as a sale or buyout.
  • Distributions or dividends from the company.

If a target company is opting to pay dividends this will be outlined in the investment memorandum pitch slides. Most investment opportunities on Flippa have an exit strategy in place and this is the most common method of return for investors. Typical exits are sale of a company on a platform like Flippa, buyout of a particular shareholding or initial public offering (IPO) or a management buyout of the SPV.

What documents do I need to sign to invest?
Private Placement Memorandum is a disclosure document given to investors for their investment consideration.


A PPM will highlight terms such as the offering itself, the price of the securities, management team, tax implications and other regulatory disclosures.

Subscription Agreement is a synopsis of the terms of the entire PPM and outlines the contract between the issuing company and the investor. The agreement will outline the terms of the offering and the securities being sold.

Sample documents can be downloaded from Invest listing pages.
What happens after I invest?
After you invest, Flippa Invest will continue to maintain the listing page active except that it will be hidden from Search and made private. This provides a simple way for founders / company representatives and investors to communicate with each other on their investments.
