What are equity investments for startups?

With an equity share investment, you have the unique opportunity to invest directly in companies before they go public—an advantage typically reserved for institutional investors and large funds. You can choose which innovative business models to support and become part of their growth story. 

Shape the future by investing where it matters most—before the rest of the market catches on. The power is in your hands.

Your advantages at a glance

By investing early, you position yourself to benefit from significant value increases, dividend payouts, and potentially lucrative exits if the company succeeds.

You participate directly in the company's success - on equal terms with the main investors.

You participate in exciting business models and support pioneering companies.

You benefit from increasing company valuations, dividends and successful exits.

Understand the types of equity investments

Equity investments at Invesdor can be structured in a variety of ways. As part of the due diligence process, we represent the investors to identify the optimal investment structure. Typical equity investments at Invesdor are:

  • Shares: Become a shareholder and profit from dividends, increasing company valuations and potential exits.
  • Convertible bonds: Invest money in hybrid securities that initially yield interest and can later be converted into shares.
  • Participation rights: Benefit from sales and profit sharing on an equal footing with real shareholders.
  • Profit participation rights: Invest in companies and be entitled to participate in the (profit) net income for the year.

Our due diligence for equity investment management

We only accept 1% of all companies who apply to be listed on the platform meaning the success rates are very high for those who invest via Invesdor.

Decisive factors for the optimal investment structure include:

  • The legal form of the company (limited liability company, public limited company),
  • The company phase (early stage, later stage)
  • The intended company development (long-term profitability, sale of the company).

In this way, we ensure that our investors receive an investment that is optimally tailored from a risk-return perspective.

Participate before stock exchange listing

"I took the opportunity to invest in NEOH in 2021. In my view, the company's products represent a truly forward-looking combination of snacking and sugar-free and thus healthier nutrition. NEOH thus occupies a central future topic of our time. I really appreciate that Invesdor allows me to invest in sustainable companies with high value growth potential even before they are listed on a stock exchange."
