Funderbeam

Funderbeam is a global platform for funding and trading private companies. It combines equity crowdfunding with a secondary market, solving the liquidity problem of startup investing. Investors pool their funds to invest in a startup, and in return, they receive digital tokens representing their share in the investment syndicate.

These tokens can be traded on the Funderbeam Exchange, allowing investors to exit their position or buy more shares without waiting for an IPO or acquisition. It is a legitimate, regulated marketplace (Singapore, UK, Estonia) that serves investors worldwide, bringing stock-market-like liquidity to private equity.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I trade my investment?

Yes, this is Funderbeam's main feature. Once the funding round is closed and tokens are distributed, you can buy and sell your investment tokens on the Funderbeam Marketplace, provided there is a willing buyer or seller.

2. specific minimum investment?

The minimum investment in a new syndicate is typically €250 (or equivalent). However, on the secondary market, you can buy tokens for much smaller amounts depending on the market price.

3. Is Funderbeam regulated?

Yes, Funderbeam holds licenses from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), and the Estonian FSA. This multi-jurisdictional regulation ensures high standards of compliance and investor protection.

4. specific fees for trading?

Funderbeam typically charges a transaction fee on trades made in the secondary market (e.g., 1-2%). There may also be a "carry" (success fee) charged on profits when the underlying company exits, which goes to the Lead Investor.

5. Who can invest?

Funderbeam accepts investors from most countries worldwide, excluding high-risk jurisdictions. You must complete a full identity verification (KYC) process before you can deposit funds and start trading.
