How Fellow Funders Works

Fellow Funders is a collective investment platform with two clear missions: on one hand, to offer Spanish companies a source of alternative financing and, on the other, offer investors projects with a high potential dor growth. We are also helping to develop a sustainable industrial fabric in our country.

Fellow Funders has a team of experts in valuing companies and assets who will analyse all proposals and only allow those that surpass our risk filters and valuation models onto the platform. You only have to worry about deciding which project you like best, or which one best fits your investment portfolio. All this occurs in a transparent and secure investment environment.

Fellow Funders is a collective investment platform. It brings together a group of investors with a company/project that needs financing. It does this by investment. That is, the owner(s) of a company yield a percentage of their company in exchange for money contributed by the investors. This is all done under the maximum standards of security and transparency

Fellow Funders is a collective investment platform. It brings together a group of investors with a company/project that needs financing. It does this by investment. That is, the owner(s) of a company yield a percentage of their company in exchange for money contributed by the investors. This is all done under the maximum standards of security and transparency.

The projects that an investor can find on Fellow Funders have been assessed by our team of analysts, not only for viability, the entrepreneurial team, regulation and reputation but also in terms of investment. This means the investment will be proportional to what is obtained by it, and the risks based on the possible future profitability. All these measures and many others, as explained below, do not offer a guaranteed return on investment, but they do provide a secure, transparent, reliable and quality environment, in which decisions are made with all available information.

Our process has 7 phases

Fellow Funders studies and analyses all the proposals it receives. But it also seeks out projects based on the needs or requests of its investors.
We assess all proposals, but, for our investors’ peace of mind, only those companies with a Score above 65 points (out of 100) move to the next phase..
Once we know that the company is viable and can be profitable, it is time to analyse what the company is willing to offer up for the financing it needs. In other words, to analyse whether the price is expensive, cheap or fair. Fellow Funders ensures the entire process runs smoothly, whether you are an investor or an entrepreneur.
In this phase we launch the campaign from the previous phase onto the platform. To save time, the analysis team and the marketing team work in parallel in phase three. This is the phase where investors can see the project and begin to ask if it is for them, if it fits their investment portfolio, if it can be a good isolated investment, etc.
Remember that Fellow Funders, as well as doing a preliminary filtering of the projects and assigning them an overall score, gives you access to all the project and company documentation, and we make an Investment Room available, where you can speak not only to other investors, but also to the entrepreneur. In many cases, a week after the project is launched, you can attend the opening conference live and interact with the entrepreneur. If you still have doubts about the project, as an investment is a serious step, you can obtain our Objective Assessment Report, which assesses each and every one of the project’s key aspects, so you can study the pros and cons that go with it. You are also reminded that in each project you will see whether or not tax incentives apply, which can be an additional incentive to invest: the “icing on the cake”.
Once the company reaches the necessary financing, the capital increase. is declared. For this, both the Partners Agreement and the Articles of Association are studied and reviewed. Copies will be made available in your private area.
Once you have made your investment, you will be able to see everything related to your investments: last shareholders’ meeting, results presented, dividends, and any other document relevant to understanding the operation of your investments will be available in your private area.

7 phases in 3 stages

1
Analysis
Phases 1 to 3
2
Investment
Phases 4 & 5
3
Execution
Phases 6 & 7

The first three phases encompass the exhaustive analysis and assessment process. Fellow Funders’ investors have peace of mind from having a team of analysts with more than a decade's experience in international capital markets.

We assess and analyse all proposals, but only those with a Score above 65 points pass to phase 3. In practice, this means that only 3% of proposals are published on the platform. This score is obtained after submitting the project to different stress and assessment models. In addition to assessing the numbers, forecasts, expenses, sales, etc., we also assess the team, barriers to entry, target market, regulation and other relevant aspects. Projects that reach phase three, therefore, have acceptable levels of credibility and solvency. Then, what the entrepreneur (company/project) offers to new partners/shareholders in order to reach an optimal balance for both parties (investors and company) can be assessed.

All projects that Fellow Funders makes available for investment have the following information available: Description of the business model, Executive Summary of the Business Plan, Forecasts, Management Team and Investment Proposal. Through this, your investment decisions will be based on objective and measurable data. Transparency, control and security are vitally important to Fellow Funders.

If you still have doubts after reading everything and you want to ask the entrepreneur or even other investors, Fellow Funders makes an Investment Room available where you can communicate with all the investors in the project and with its entrepreneur. You can even follow conferences held by the entrepreneur live and participate in them.

Your investments are important to Fellow Funders, so we try to make them happen in a simple, personal and unique manner.

Once the project has successfully completed its financing campaign, Fellow Funders authorises the bank to release the funds and, with the necessary documentation, the new deed is made with the `partners agreement and Articles of Association and with all investors in the Project becoming the new shareholders.

Investing is not a game but something very serious, and Fellow Funders is fully aware of this as the founding team are entrepreneurs as well as investors. We provide a private area where you can track all your investments, accessing data such as publication of results, dividends, and any other relevant fact, so that you are always informed.
