In recent years, private investors have had an increasing number of options to invest in startups without having to physically interact with them. This ecosystem has been driven by companies like AngelList, but there are now numerous other platforms that allow startups to raise funding and investors to manage their transactions.
A New Player Enters the Scene: Quoroom
Quoroom, a startup founded by two Ukrainians, is poised to scale up its own take on the formula. The company allows startups to raise both equity and debt, and has recently acquired Investory.io, a smaller company in the space based in Vienna. Although terms of the deal were undisclosed, the acquisition means Quoroom will now count more than 30 funds and angel investor groups as customers and will have around 1,000 companies using its infrastructure for cap table management and updates.
The Problem with Investment Management
As the venture ecosystem has grown, investment management has become increasingly fragmented and cumbersome – especially so for syndicates and funds. These entities have to grapple with disconnected tools, high legal fees, regulatory complexities, time-consuming portfolio management, and limited access to fresh capital, new members, and LPs.
