“If anything kills over 10 million people in the next few decades, it’s most likely to be a highly infectious virus rather than a war – not missiles, but microbes. Part of the reason is we have invested a huge amount in nuclear deterrents, but we’ve actually invested very little in a system to stop an epidemic.”
-Bill Gates

> Are startups worth investing in?
Investing in early-stage, privately-held companies over time can deliver outsized returns compared to investing in stocks quoted on public exchanges like the NYSE or Nasdaq. However, investing in startup companies can carry elevated risks and uncertainty. Your decision to invest should be based on several factors that include your tolerance of risk, what kind of returns you expect and over what period of time, your overall investment strategy, and the technology, management and business model of the company where you decide to invest.
> How can I begin investing in startups?
Startups attract funds from various sources. These include venture capital and investment firms, pension fund managers, and individual angel investors with high net worth. It is not usual for startups to simply accept smaller investments up to $100,000 from individuals who are not within the company founders’ personal circle of family and friends. Regulations issued by financial market regulators in various countries restrict direct investment in private market companies to sophisticated and experienced funders, called accredited investors in the US. But even those who are legally able to invest will find it hard to discover and diligence funding opportunities, or gaining access to those they can find. OurCrowd provides accredited investors with a simple, accessible route to startups raising funds in the private markets. If you are an accredited investor or equivalent, you can start investing by simply signing up to the OurCrowd platform.
> Why OurCrowd?
OurCrowd allows accredited investors to gain access to a broad selection of startup funding deals and alternative asset opportunities including private equity, real estate funds and venture debt. The platform enables members to invest in startup companies together with venture capital firms, investment banks and angels. OurCrowd investors enjoy the same preferential terms as institutions and high net worth individuals, with the starting point for an individual company as low as $10,000. There are three paths to Investing via the OurCrowd platform: investing in an individual startup company, putting money into a fund that spreads your investment among a range of startups, or by depositing funds into an OurCrowd investment account.
> How does OurCrowd find promising startups to invest in?
The search for promising startup investment opportunities is not simple. Thousands of startups are founded worldwide every day. Most of them fail, and most of the successful companies will never gain any public attention until they achieve an exit, by which time investors will already have seen most of the biggest returns. OurCrowd has a large and experienced team of investment professionals, whose combined network means they hear about promising startups long before you will hear about them in the media. Our expert team checks and filters hundreds of opportunities every week, and only presents the most interesting on the OurCrowd platform. On the Opportunities Page, you will find a selection of currently-funding deals. Click through to the Deal Page for full information about the company, its team, technology and business plan.

If you prefer, you can speak directly to your personal account manager for more information and advice on how to invest. Only accredited investors can use the OurCrowd platform.
