Types of Interactions |
|
|
|
Members of CapitalConnect can use a variety of features to interact with other participants: |
|
|
|
|
|
Share information with other members |
|
|
|
|
1. |
View my profile |
|
|
When members want another participant to learn more about their organisation, they
can request that participant to view their profile. You can use this feature to
draw attention to your profile before sending a debt or equity offer, or to highlight
any updated information that you have added to their profile. |
|
|
|
|
2. |
Share your profile |
|
|
Members can request to view the detailed financial or portfolio information of another
participant who is not currently sharing that information with them. If that participant
allows you to view their detailed profile, you can then send them messages to explore
potential business partnerships, debt offers, or equity offers. |

Exchange messages |
|
|
Social enterprises who are sharing their detailed profile with each other may exchange
messages through the CapitalConnect platform. Use this feature to contact other
organizations working on initiatives that are relevant to your work, or to discuss
partnerships that could help you expand your scope or increase the depth of your
impact. |
|
|
Send debt and equity offers |
|
|
|
Send indicative offers to other
participants to meet a wide variety of financial
needs. |
|
|
|
|
|
Debt offers |
|
|

|
|
|
Note: Individual promoter investors may not send debt offers at this time. |
|
|
|
|
|
Equity offers |
|
|
Members of CapitalConnect can send each other the following equity offers for both
common and preference stock: |
|
|
- Raise fresh equity
- Offload existing equity investments
- Invest in fresh or secondary equity
|
|
|
Note: Individual promoter investors are only permitted to offload equity, while
all other participants can buy, sell, and raise equity. |
|
|
|

|
|
Communicate Strategically |
|
|
|
|
CapitalConnect allows its members to make debt or equity offers that meet their
specific privacy and strategic needs. |
|
|
|
|
|
Negotiable or Non-negotiable |
|
|
Choosing to make your offer negotiable allows you to specify a
minimum and maximum price, quantity, or amount of the equity or debt that you seek
to buy, sell, lend, or borrow. If you would prefer to express a single price, quantity,
or amount instead of a range, you can select the non-negotiable option.
Negotiable offers are useful for participants who want to evaluate the broader market
appetite for the financial instrument they are offering to buy or sell, while non-negotiable
offers are appropriate for participants who have already determined the precise
terms of the financial transaction that they would like to engage in. Whereas negotiable
offers will likely generate more counteroffers, non-negotiable
offers will likely attract counteroffers from participants who are more closely
aligned to the financial requirements of the originator of the offer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Specific or Generic
|
|
|
|
|
|
Choose to make your offer specific if you would like to send your
offer to a single member or to a select group of members of CapitalConnect. Choose
the generic option if you would like to send your offer to all
members of CapitalConnect. When new members join CapitalConnect after you send your
generic offer and before its expiration, they will also receive your offer.
Social enterprises seeking to find strategic partners who align with their mission
and values may prefer to send specific offers. Similarly, specific offers are more
valuable to investors and lenders who have already identified their funding targets.
Generic offers allow participants to efficiently communicate their funding requirements
to a large audience. Choose to make a generic offer if you have lower privacy requirements.
Generic offers are also useful for members who seek to evaluate the broader market
appetite for the financial instrument they are offering to buy or sell.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Identifiable or Masked
|
|
|
|
|
|
Choose to make an offer identifiable if you would like to share
your organisation’s identity with the recipient of your offer, or choose to mask
your identity by sending a masked offer. There is a higher likelihood
of counterparties not responding to a masked offer than an identifiable offer. Masked
offers are valuable for strategic investors seeking to identify the appetite for
their existing holdings, without initially disclosing their identity.
|
|
|
Specified Time-in-force
|
|
|
|
|
|
Members set the time-in-force of their offers to specify when their offer expires.
Define a short time-in-force period to screen for those members who are most interested
in your offer. This strategy, however, may prevent you from receiving counteroffers
from members who do not regularly check their profiles.
Set a longer time-in-force if your funding needs are not immediate, and you will
likely receive a greater number of counteroffers from other members.
|
|
Finalize your financial transaction |
|
|
|
|
|
Once you have sent a debt or equity offer, the recipient has the option to send
you a counteroffer. If you are interested in discussing the counteroffer, then you
can send a message with your contact information. The respondent will then contact
you outside of the CapitalConnect platform, and you can finalize the transaction
off-line. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Offers for equity or debt that are communicated through CapitalConnect’s online platform are only indicative, are not legally binding, and are not formal invitations to subscribe to an issue. Parties interacting on CapitalConnect are expected to finalize all the terms of the financial transaction outside the portal. |
