Compare Capital Raise Providers by Role and Process

Choose the combination of marketing, offering technology, and specialist support that fits your company.

A CEO evaluating capital raise providers should start with responsibilities, not labels. A portal, a marketplace, a technology platform, and a marketing agency may solve different parts of the fundraising process. Some providers combine services through different entities or agreements. Confirm the exact scope before comparing fees or features.

Separate the workstreams

Workstream	What to establish
Legal and financial preparation	Which qualified advisers determine the offering structure, prepare documents, and review requirements?
Offering operations	Who handles verification, subscriptions, payments, investor records, and operational support?
Investor marketing	Who develops the story, campaign assets, audiences, webinars, and follow-up?
Data and reporting	Which records can the issuer access, how are metrics defined, and who resolves reporting gaps?
Ongoing responsibilities	Who owns communications, campaign assets, handoff, and post-campaign tasks?

Compare the actual investor journey

Walk through the experience from first awareness to the offering process on both mobile and desktop. Review the next step at each stage and how a prospect gets help. Identify which provider owns each handoff, rather than assuming that one party does everything.

Ask the same questions of each provider

What work is included, excluded, or supplied under a separate agreement?
Who performs the day-to-day work, and what must our team provide?
What are the setup, recurring, usage-based, and transaction-related costs?
Who owns the creative, landing pages, domains, and campaign records?
What reporting is available, and which decisions will it support?
What changes if the campaign needs a different audience, message, or timeline?
