by

Miventure is an investment platform that lets you become a ground-floor investor in early-stage startups with as little as $25.

Startups are notoriously hard. Most founders know the odds are stacked against them before they launch, but still work long hours battling uncertainty and rejection as they grow their business. We love founders who take on this challenge because they're passionate about the problems they're solving. Miventure is built on the premise that while building a startup is difficult, investing in one shouldn't be. We're reimagining how founders raise their friends and family round to make it more efficient and less painful. Our mobile app makes it easy for anyone, including retail investors, to research and invest in startups they believe in right from their mobile phone. We're inspired by the founders already on Miventure and we're excited for you to experience it for yourself.

I see that you are directing people to download the mobile app, do you have a web app as well? Anw, I'm on andriod I tried to click on the playstore button on your homepage but it directs me to App store instead. You might wanna fix that. Lastly, do you vet start ups who wants to list on your platforms? if yes, what steps are you taking to prevent scams or rogue companies.

@ken_moo Hi Ken, thanks for pointing that out. We use a redirect link, so if you use the https://www.miventure.com/download on your mobile device, it'll direct you to the correct app store. If you do it from your computer, it'll take you the apple app store. Yes, we are mobile only currently. We mainly look for companies that are current or past participants of reputable incubator / accelerator programs. We also are licensed as a funding portal so we perform what are called supervisory on the companies. We do background checks on the major owners, verify they are valid legal entities and make sure their disclosure form is materially complete.

Coming from the banking and startup world, I knew how difficult it was to attain funding for startups from both sides. Too risky for banks and there were just too many startups for VCs to fund them all. With Miventure, we help increase the yield of available funds by creating an easy to use tool for your friends and family to easily invest in your business. Only takes 1 minute or less from download to investing with Miventure.

I downloaded your app from the app store, tried to sign in with apple login and when i put in my name and dob, it throws up an "oops something went wrong error" and pushes me back to the sign up page. Then when i pressed the sign up again with apple mail, it throws me straight into the app.

@jason_crystal @john_mccrea @_duncanhall Certainly. Once we feel the product has become self sustainable in the US market looking at the EU market definitely the next phase.

@muntasir_rashid Thanks for your kind words, we have an amazing team! Currently we are only licensed and structured to support US legal entities. I suggest talking to Hannah Forbes on Linkedin, she's the EU crowdfunding platform expert and super helpful!

Looks great, everybody should have access to early stage investments. Does the platform conduct due diligence to list a venture?
Jason Crystal

@freddycoen We do perform supervisory duties on the companies including interviews, background checks on major owners, verify they're legal entities, and make sure their disclosure form is materially complete. Check out some of the campaigns on the platform and let us know what you think!
Andrew Keats
@jason_crystal I tried to click through on the website to some of the startups listed but none of them seemed clickable; is it only via the mobile apps that it's possible to invest?

@andrew_keats Hi Andrew. Yes, we're currently working on adding invest from website functionality, but currently it's ios and android app only and the website is just for marketing purposes to help people find the app. We should have invest from web functionality within the next month, but highly encourage you to check out the app as well before then!
Andrew Keats
@jason_crystal downloading now!
