There are so many things to know about startup investing. GetEquity so far has provided a platform that democratizes access to funding a startup. For us, it is not just about funding your wallet and picking a startup to invest in.
It requires a lot more education, research, gut feeling, and analysis which we are very keen on educating our users in order to properly understand what it means to invest in a startup we have listed as well as give back to the ecosystem.
Making our users investors in their own right from novice to pro is a journey that has started from the moment we launched till date and our new partnership aids all that.
