What value does Siphter bring investors?
Siphter offers a smart and detailed matching engine using algorithms. Based on your profile
the matching engine will match you with start-ups looking for an investor. Siphter has a
database filled with start-ups from around the world. Once the match is made it’s up to you
to talk to the start-up founders and close the deal.
What's the minimum investment I can search for?
There's no minimum or maximum investment amount applicable. The reason for that is that
a US based start-up generally looks for higher amounts than for example a start-up in
LATAM or Africa. Keep in mind most investors are not interested in very small investment
opportunities. For small investments they go to a crowdfunding platform.
Can Siphter help me diversify my investment portfolio?
Absolutely! As we support diversity, we created a separate section on the intake form for
matching with start-ups from founders that are from underrepresented backgrounds. For
example; female founders, BAME founders, gender balanced teams, LGBTQ, etc. Anti-
selection is not possible.
Is there a minimum investment amount?
There's no minimum or maximum investment amount applicable. The reason for that is US
based start-ups generally look for higher amounts than for example a start-up in LATAM or
Africa. For small investments you better check a crowdfunding platform. It is your
responsibility to assure your investment is compliant with your local jurisdiction.
Do I need to be a qualified, professional or accredited investor to use
Siphter?
That depends on your local jurisdiction. Siphter can’t provide guidance on all country-specific
regulations. It is your responsibility, as highlighted in our Terms & Conditions, to check the
laws and regulations applicable in your country to investing and what is the exact meaning of
“qualified, professional or accredited investor” in order to assure your investment is
compliant with your local jurisdiction.
