Description
The market for capital (esp. venture capital) has high transaction costs and low information flow. Willing investors and startups often fail to connect in an efficient manner. GlassWall Syndicate is highly effective for impact investors, but additional platforms are needed for deal flow and coordinating hand-offs from pre-seed (angels and accelerators), seed/early-stage, and growth/later-stage investors and acquirers. Beyond Animal built a community platform for investments but 1:1 deal matching among various types of funders (e.g. equipment leasing, private equity) would be valuable.
