FAQ

Before you apply.

What does it cost?Nothing to apply, for the decision or for the report. The one possible cost, only if your round completes, is reimbursing investor-side legal work, capped and paid to the solicitor.
Who sees my files?Only KAI. Every file is encrypted in your browser, and no one at FundNow can open it. Backers see KAI’s memo, never your files.
Who decides?KAI, within ten days, with its reasons. A human can veto a yes before it reaches backers, and every override is published. If it’s a no, you can reply within 14 days and a person at FundNow will review it.
What happens after a yes?FundNow leads the syndicate: your round goes to our private backers on a regulated platform, and the money reaches your company when the round completes.
