Led by Alex Mittal, CEO and co-founder, FundersClub operates as an online marketplace that allows accredited investors to become equity holders in FundersClub-managed venture funds designed to finance high-potential private companies that have undergone extensive pre-screening and due diligence.
Once a fund has closed on the platform, FundersClub’s management entity, FundersClub Management LLC, manages the payment and investing process and serves as the fund manager.
To date, the platform has invested more than $5m in 25 companies and has more than 6,000 accredited investor members.
