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 much is it?
free

How does it work?
Basically, you sign up, list your company profile (description, video, 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.

Is my profile open to the public to see?
No - It is not open to the public. It is Only available to our investor members with a username and password.

Who can see my company profile on FundingPost?
Only Venture Capital Firms, Corporate Venture Funds 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.

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 500-700 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 $107.69 Billion in angel and venture capital.

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 12 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.

Do you Guarantee Funding?
No!! FundingPost only shows your company to investors. We cannot guarantee they will want to invest in what you are doing. Raising capital is not easy, and the odds are stacked against you. You can run a software company in the heart of Silicon Valley and funding is still not guaranteed.

How can I cancel the service?
If you are no longer interested in being a member, you may cancel at any time. The best ways to cancel are either calling us toll free at 800-461-5509, or you can log into your account and Cancel the service through the Manage Account section. You may also email us at info@fundingpost.com
