One URL, any investor.
Until today, there were only two ways for your investors to access Venture OS:
Both options have been great solutions for our customers— from startups grouping a few checks together via SAFE Plus, to some of the largest syndicates in venture bulk-inviting tens of thousands of their investors at a time.
However, we're seeing customers use our product in ways we didn't anticipate. As organizers progress in their fundraise, they're constantly being introduced to new people. And adding each new person to the organization one-by-one is a pain, while waiting for enough people to bulk-invite in one go can be a momentum killer for fundraising. And in a business where momentum is paramount and friction is the enemy, we knew we could do better.
So, we're introducing a new, simple way for investors to access the ability to invest in a deal: Open Links.
Open Links allow anyone to click a link and instantly access your deal— no pre-invitation required.
It's as simple as:
Small updates like this are just as important to us as big feature launches. We're always refining and polishing the experience to make things play a little smoother every week.
Almost every deal on Seed Labs uses the 506(b) Regulation D exemption, which allows for simpler reporting so long as the deal is not generally solicited to the public (think posting on Twitter or Reddit to announce that you're fundraising). Open Links fully keep in line with this guideline, requiring both the deal organizer and the investor to verify that they have established a pre-existing relationship prior to accessing the deal.
