Invest in INSPIRR

OUR STORY

Today, there are more innovative careers and more ways to monetize than ever before.

The influence is everywhere you look.

By 2027, 1 in 3 people will be in pursuit of being an entrepreneur or creator.

These are ambitious, talented individuals. And they're just ramping up:

But over 90% won't make it. Why not?

One huge problem: The first thing they need is also the hardest to get.

The early capital gap = "Death Valley" for entrepreneurial dreams

Who bears the brunt of inequity? The stats are staggering:

“More access to funding for underrepresented start-up founders can unlock massive investment and innovation opportunities. These founders are not just underrepresented—they are underestimated.” -McKinsey

Yet, everyone suffers the costs of this multi-trillion dollar void.

Existing capital sources are not cutting it.

THE SOLUTION: A new pathway to capital

INSPIRR provides the infrastructure for an entirely new type of investment.

Behind every great idea, every successful business- the heartbeat of any venture- is one thing: a person with ambition and potential. We recognized that the individual is the core driver of any venture, so we developed a way of investing that centers on them.

By facilitating investments that are based the person's future potential, rather than just business traction or financial history, our approach revolutionizes the early venture funding process and solves big problems for both individuals and investors.

This is investing in a person, much like you do a business. By funding their pursuit, an investor can now share in the person's future success, earnings and ventures.

→ Our approach makes it less risky and more rewarding to invest in early private opportunities.

Unlike a typical investment with high-risk of losing money, an INSPIRR investment reduces risk and provides multiple paths to profitability.

Our proven investment structure links investment outcomes to the future success of the person, adapting if their path changes. For example:

• Typical startup investment: Win/Loss. Generates return if startup exits (is sold or goes public).
• INSPIRR startup investment: Adapts, even if their path changes. Generates returns whether the person exits the startup, returns to the workforce, and/or starts more companies.

It's a Win-Win. Unlocking new benefits for both parties:

INSPIRR fills gaps and is complementary to VC/banks.

Existing capital sources use traditional debt/equity models and thus have the same barriers and constraints that make them so inaccessible early on. In contrast, INSPIRR fills the gap at earlier stages, and is accessible for a more diverse range of use cases beyond just businesses. This means we don't compete with incumbents, we complement them.

"This is a total game-changer."

HOW INVESTMENTS WORK

INSPIRR transforms a person’s potential into an investor-friendly opportunity on day one.

These are customizable investments tailored to the individual, built to protect the investor. How do they work? By incorporating the person's future earnings, future ventures or creations, an INSPIRR deal captures additional return potential, while backing the investment. Diverse streams of future earnings/ventures offers upside potential (equity), while an individual’s fallback career earnings can act as a backstop that provides cash yield or downside protection.

INSPIRR makes it easy to connect on terms that make sense for both parties, whether it's to:

• Fund a young, ambitious person early on, share in part of whatever they create, found, or earn over a timeframe
• Attach downside protection or cash yield to an equity investment
• Buy shares in a founder or creator's future ventures or earnings

✔︎ Auto-personalized investment contracts, built for scale.

POPULAR USE CASES

Preset deal templates and customizable terms allow for various use cases. Here are some ways to invest in a person using INSPIRR.

Investors and individuals have great things to say about the deals:

PRODUCT

The world's first platform for investing in people.

INSPIRR is a platform that makes it easy to raise and invest capital using our unique approach. It connects individuals and investors, and automates the process from fundraise, investment, to post-investment management. Additionally, embedded resources and community help set individuals up for success after they secure funding.

Automated Fundraising, Investing & Post-Investment Management

‣ Individuals, investors and capital groups use the self-service platform to fundraise & invest.

The AngelList Plus Crowdfunding for Individuals:

‣ Launch a custom fundraise in minutes, not months.

‣ 2 Tiers of Private and Public Deals: The platform's multi-functionality multiplies network effects.

• Individuals use the platform to automate a Family & Friends round. Before INSPIRR, raising a Family & Friends round was risky, unstructured and uncomfortable for the relationship. Only 10% would invest, and 98% of individuals felt uncomfortable asking! Now, INSPIRR reduces risk, making it an easier ask, protecting the investment and relationship, while automating the process.
• Angels use it to invest in public pre-vetted deals. Get differentiated deal flow, be connected with people and ideas you're passionate about.
• Funds, syndicates, and angel groups use it to invest in their existing deal flow. INSPIRR prevents capital loss, increases ROI, and allows for more diversification and impact.
• Retail investors coming soon.

Investment Servicing & Monitoring: Built-in protections ensure investors can confidently invest in an indivdiual beyond their personal network.

Embedded Resources & Community: After funding, individuals will stay on platform for curated support that will enhance their ability to succeed.

Integrating with Giants: INSPIRR is the much-needed stepping stone to big name partners.

Natural growth machine via the Ecosystem Effect: Big-name partners get new customers from INSPIRR, bolstering our growth and aligning us with giants in the long run.

Shopify requires $50k in revenue to qualify. Funds require traction or revenue. The list goes on.

Before, the path to success had gaps; often a non-starter without the first crucial step. INSPIRR bridges the gap- individuals come for day 1 capital, gain necessary traction, and the platform will seamlessly flow into partnered resources for the next phase, like Shopify, monetization engines, crowdfunding and funds.

Two customer examples: Say you're starting a small business. In order to create a Shopify store, it is required you have $50K in business revenue. You raise spark capital via INSPIRR, which enables you to launch and grow revenue to meet Shopify's criteria. Now you can monetize and scale. Alternatively, say you're a tech startup founder. In order to raise from VC's, they typically require traction/revenue. You raise spark capital via INSPIRR, which enables you to get to MVP, launch, and start generating revenue. Now, you're more likely to raise a larger VC round.

B2B SaaS Licensing: Software enabling organizations to invest this way in their own network.

In addition to facilitating deals between individuals and investors (D2C), our platform has active B2B pilots. This means INSPIRR will enable big and small organizations to easily invest this way in their own network, such as universities and alumni groups, impact funds, philanthropic capital and local municipalities.

TRACTION

We've validated our model, market and closed deals. Our platform MVP has revenue and B2B pilots.

We designed this investment model and brought it to market with a fund where we invested millions, with results that prove it works well for both parties and is in high demand across diverse markets.

Note: Fund is a separate legal entity.

Excess demand and overflowing fund applications affirm the urgent need for the INSPIRR platform.

Other validating insights from the fund: In the first year we saw 200% growth in applications without marketing, receiving over 2,000 applications for funding, and funded ~3% of them. Why not more? Capital constraints of a fund limit scale, and echo the need for a platform to open up this solution to the world. While our initial targets were idea-stage founders, we were overjoyed by the amount of zero-marketing applications for funding we received from creators, artists/makers, SMB entrepreneurs, and college/sub-professional athletes. All of these individuals all organically found our solution, and need early capital but are excluded by traditional debt and equity capital sources like VC and banks.

Advantage: INSPIRR benefits from the fund's passive application flow, providing us unique access to customers, as well as the fund's referral partnerships and relationships with investors, funds accelerators.
