1. Now you can be a partner– Crowdfunding platforms have paved the way and created a powerful community that supports and funds excellent ideas. However, they have NEVER offered an investment that allows partnership, and if the project you invested in became a world success, all you were left with was a thank you card or in the best case, the product that you pre-purchased. this model is called reward-based crowdfunding.
At ExitValley, we have combined the familiar crowdfunding with the world of investments. Thus, we have created a real Crowd-Investing platform that allows everybody to invest in attractive Israeli startups and small businesses in consideration for shares.
Now you can be part of the next exit.
2. The market is Huge – During 2014, the crowdfunding industry reached a total fundraising amount of approximately 10 billion dollars and expected to grow to 17 billion dollars in 2015 (Source: The Tabb Group). All of this when the investors/backers are not partners in the success.
Just imagine how big this market is expected to grow when crowdfunding evolves into crowdinvesting.
3. A startup's opportunity with a perfectly reasonable risk.
4. A winning team – Beyond the fact that ExitValley's team is an experienced team specializing in each one of the central aspects required to the company in order to succeed. Above half of our team members have a considerable amount of exit transactions on their resume.

Essence of the concept:
Waze, Viber and Wix are only part of the success story of the Israeli hi-tech industry. During the last decade, more than 750 Israeli startups made exits that lined the investors' pockets with more than 50 billion dollars!
Up until now, the approach to the most profitable investments was inaccessible the public - the entrance fees were high, the contracts were complex, the shares were not liquid, and the negotiations with the companies, designed to ensure a good deal, were a long and expensive process. All these led to the fact that those who benefited the most from the start-up nation were a small group of investors. But now everybody can!
ExitValley is a crowd-investing platform that changes the game rules in the world of investments in early stages startups and small businesses. ExitValley has created a new reality in which Israeli startups can easily be established and raise money to facilitate their activity, while making it possible and simple for everybody to invest in these startups in consideration for shares, thereby becoming part of the success.
Our vision is:
- To give entrepreneurs a genuine and fair opportunity to raise capital with the aim of building a successful company.
- To provide everybody a genuine and fair opportunity to invest in Israeli startups and small businesses and become shareholder partners.
We believe that by creating a fair and simple alternative for both entrepreneurs and investors, the public investing in startups will grow in an unprecedented manner and entrepreneurs will have the genuine possibility of realizing excellent ideas that will in turn create a lot more Israeli successes.
How it works:
Entrepreneurs create a fixed period fundraising campaign, where they wish to raise a sum of money in consideration for the allotment of a particular percentage of shares in the company. The investors examine campaigns that interest them, and choose how much to invest. If the fundraising campaign reaches the pre-defined fundraising target, the deal will go ahead – the company will receive the investment funds and the investors will receive the shares. If the fundraising campaign does not reach the pre-defined fundraising target, the investors will receive all their money back. We supply the entire legal infrastructure for the deal, ensuring fair and standard deal conditions for entrepreneurs and investors.
THE COMPREHENSIVE SOLUTION FOR ENTREPRENEURS
- The fundraising process is integral, speedy and simple – within 30 days, the entrepreneurs will know whether they have succeeded in raising funds.
- ExitValley supplies entrepreneurs with a platform which exposes you not only to a large crowd of new investors, but also allows you to better utilize your existing communities of potential investors - your friends and family, Facebook/LinkedIn friends, and your other close communities.
- The entrepreneurs receive business and legal tool kits for incorporation, fundraising, operation of the company, and shareholders management services.
- In order to simplify the long and exhausting typical fundraising process, we drafted a standard investment contract, in conjunction with the leading law firm Naschitz Brandes Amir, making sure that is fair to both investors and entrepreneurs. By doing so, we have successfully eliminated the need for long and exhausting negotiations between these two groups and maximized the feasibility for an investment transaction.
THE COMPREHENSIVE SOLUTION FOR INVESTORS
- A variety of investment opportunities starting with low amounts.
- The system allows investors to create a diversified investment portfolio improving risk management.
- In order to protect the investor and reduce the amount of time and resources that comes with legal negotiations, we drafted a standard investment contract, in conjunction with the leading law firm Naschitz Brandes Amir, making sure that is fair to both investors and entrepreneurs. By doing so, we have successfully eliminated the need for long and exhausting negotiations between these two groups and maximized the feasibility for an investment transaction.
- It is not necessary to wait until the exit in order to sell the shares – up until now, the absolute majority of startups investors were unable to sell their shares before an M&A / IPO. At ExitValley, you may sell your shares starting from 3 month after the purchase date. We provide you with all the required infrastructure to make it simple.
- The crowd wisdom will assist in analyzing the investment possibilities – we supply the investors with a variety of tools to assist in making the investment: all the company's relevant data is displayed on the website in a convenient and friendly way, you can contact the entrepreneurs and ask all the relevant questions concerning the investment, consult with other investors on the site, follow leading investors, and share interesting investments.
- Transparency also after the investment – after the fundraising has been successfully completed, a special company page will be available on the platform. This page will only be available to the company's investors, and its aim is to permit the management of the connection between the investors and the company. Relevant notices, invitations to shareholders meetings, performance reports that the company is committed to etc. shall be published in this area.
