Through our extensive and growing network, OurCrowd pursues promising startups to invest in selective, high-demand investment rounds, often along top tier VCs. OurCrowd's team of investment professionals reviews between 150-200 startup companies every month, typically meeting 20-30 management teams face-to-face. OurCrowd then conducts in-depth due diligence and negotiation in order to select, on average, 2-3 investment opportunities per month. OurCrowd invests its own capital in every portfolio company alongside its investor community and provides the same terms as institutional co-investors in the round.
OurCrowd investors access investment opportunities in three ways: by selecting startups individually for investment (Startup Select), investing in funds, or via a pre-funded investment account called a Portfolio Reserve. Learn more about how to invest.
