Equity for Growth Companies

Yes, Companisto charges a success-based commission of 15 percent of the investment sum for the entire processing of the financing round. In addition, there is a fixed administration fee of 0.65% p.a. on the investment sum.

Yes. Our agreements take exit cases into account from the outset. Our investors primarily want to benefit from the increase in the value of the company in the event of an exit. Like all VCs, we finance through equity investments. The sum of the investors behaves like an individual shareholder due to the pooling of voting rights. In the event of a purchase offer, Companisto organizes the coordination of the investors via the platform.

Yes. Companisto's participation agreements are optimized for follow-up financing. Around 85 percent of the companies financed on Companisto are co-financed or follow-up-financed. These companies have received capital before, during or after the financing round from a business angel, venture capital company or state investor. Our investments are recorded as equity in the balance sheet. This enables co-financing with public VC investors (also called mirroring or matching). This enables us to achieve larger financing volumes overall.

No. A company participation via Companisto acts like a single shareholder towards the company. The voting rights of the investors involved via Companisto are bundled via pooling agreements. As a platform, we organize all necessary coordination processes and are the only contact for the company. The investors are bundled and behave towards your company like a single shareholder. Thus the Cap-Table of your company remains clear.

As a platform, we have gained experience in over 100 financing rounds. Of these, only 6 companies missed the funding target. Our extensive experience enables us to assess which campaigns work on our platform. The combination of closed and open financing rounds additionally increases the performance of your financing campaign. You start the public round with a vote of confidence as our Angel investors are already on board. You can directly influence the success of your campaign through your own participation. You will be actively supported by our team of campaign managers, PR and marketing professionals.

Generally, there are legal obligations to provide information to the shareholders of a company. This is also the case with Companisto. The reports are based on industry standards in the venture capital sector. These include quarterly KPIs (sales, EBIT, gross profit) and annual financial statements. Confidentiality agreements with your Companisto investors ensure that no sensitive information reaches the public.

For an application to be considered, we initially need a pitch deck that provides us with a quick overview of the business idea and the financing requirements. The pitch deck must present the use case (What is the benefit of the company's offer?), the business case (What is the business model around the offer?) and the investment case (Can an interesting opportunity be created from a possible investment?). In addition to the three points, it should convey an initial idea and encourage the willingness to invest further resources in the project.
