BlazeFund equity crowd funding brings together three groups (1) startup entrepreneurs with projects and deals, (2) individual crowd investors, and (3) institutions such as corporate development departments and nonprofits, via a patent-pending equity crowd funding portal.
The portal utilizes a proprietary two-step process that attempts to reduce investor risk and increase issuer accountability. BlazeFund focuses on technology and business services ventures worldwide for a minimum raise of $100K and where the offer is for at least 5% of the equity of the company and where the offering valuation ranges from $0.5M to $10M. Global connections are facilitated via an international presence, a first in the industry.
The BlazeFund business model differentiators include:
-Connecting the crowd and institutions simultaneously with entrepreneurs.
-On the path to facilitating private-equity/venture-capital style due diligence by the crowd/analysts enabling potential investors to access independent reviews.
-Reducing investor risk via a two-step investment mechanism that splits the investment exposure of the crowd.
-Connectivity to a product listing portal for purchase of products & services produced by funded companies at discounted pricing.
-Built-in dividends in the form of rewards.
-Many of these unique patent-pending features and functionality are incorporated in the portal design.
