FundingPost FAQ- ONLINE VENTURE EXCHANGE LISTINGS: How do I sign up (as an entrepreneur)? Go to www.FundingPost.com. Click Entrepreneur, then click Sign Up. (There is also an Entrepreneur link on the top of the left navigation.) How long is the online listing for? 3 months, then monthly after that. How much is it? $100 for the first 3 months, then $30 per month after that for as long as you wish to use the service. However, if you list for 6 months when you sign up, we give you $50 off the second 3 months (6 mo. cost $150). There are no hidden fees. How does it work? Basically, you sign up, list your company profile (description, business model, market size, etc.) with your contact information. Investors then log in and view the company summaries. They can then contact you directly through the system. Who can see my company profile on FundingPost? Only Venture Capital Firms and Accredited Angel Investors. We do Not allow Brokers, Investment banks, Service Providers, or even other entrepreneurs to read the company summaries. Our Investor Section is for Real Investors only. What is a Feature Listing? You may choose to have your company featured for 1 month on the Investor Welcome page and a summary of your profile e-mailed to the 7,500+ Investors in our network. The average Featured company has over 5x the number of investors reading their profile. There is an additional cost of $300 to be a featured company on FundingPost. Do you take stock? No – we don’t take stock or a percentage of anything you raise through our network. We are not a Broker-Dealer. We only charge the listing fees. How many listings are up there at one time? About 1000-1600 are active at any given time. Investors can search via several criteria (industry, stage, location, keyword, geographic preference, etc.) so your company won't get lost in the shuffle. How many Investors do you have? Over 7,500 and new Investors sign up all the time. We currently represent over $103.97 Billion in angel and venture capital. What else do I get? As a member you get access to tons of free content. This includes videos of our venture events, investor conference call audio, books, investor interviews, guides to setting up business materials, and information on Venture Capitalists and Angel Investors and exactly how to reach them! Typically you will get a few hundred dollars worth of content every month for your $30 membership fee. I am an Investor - How do I view the deals? Qualified Investors can sign up here. Not everyone who signs up gets an account. We screen these very carefully! Only accredited investors get an account. Do investors use this service? Yes. We get anywhere from 30-50 introductions going through our system every month from Investors to Entrepreneurs. How long has FundingPost been around? We have been connecting companies and Investors for Over 8 1/2 years! We are the Biggest and the Oldest Venture exchange on the net. We set up our service to be straight forward and easy to use. From the feedback we get, it seems to be working! Has anybody been Funded? Yes!! FundingPost is directly responsible for Millions and Millions of dollars in Capital Raised! Read some Success Stories here. But we don’t really gauge that – we gauge only Investor Introductions – we are not a Broker-Dealer, we only make the introductions. Negotiating & closing the deal is up to you, we have no part in it. How can I cancel the service? If you are no longer interested in being a member, you may cancel at any time.
