Welcome to December and the Festive season.

It’s the season of giving and we at GetEquity plan to be right in the middle of it.

What better way to be a part of the future alongside your friends and loved ones than owning Equity in the different startups we have on our platform.

But why is it so important that we gift?

  • Build long-term wealth — Build the future alongside your loved ones by Investing together in awesome companies building key solutions for the future.
  • Show that you care — Gifting your loved one's equity means that you care deeply about them and their future. Knowing deep down that you care about where they will be 5 years from now and that you want them on that same journey with you speaks enormously.
  • Pay it forward — Have you ever heard of the phrase; ‘One good turn deserves another’? In layman’s term, the phrase means ‘if someone does you a favour, you should take the chance to repay it.’ When it comes to gifting, people are not only excited and grateful to receive gifts, but they are also encouraged to pay it forward and be generous too.

Introducing GetEquity Gifting

A feature that allows you to gift tokens to anyone who owns a GetEquity account in companies you have invested in.

You can now gift tokens via your loved ones’ email addresses or username?

We now have USERNAMES on GetEquity. Imagine gifting tokens to your friends only using their usernames.

You can now get and secure your unique username on GetEquity. Here are the steps you need to follow:
