Frequently Asked Questions

What is sharefunding?

Sharefunding is not just financing with shares; it is a unique approach that focuses on equal interests and long-term relationships.


As a registered brand name of Eyevestor, Sharefunding® goes further than simply financing shares. Here you can define different types of shareholders, such as customers, partners, colleagues and investors, each with their own unique involvement.


With Sharefunding® you not only get access to investment opportunities, but also to various transaction types that span the entire life cycle of equity capital. There are more than 15 transaction types on the Eyevestor platform.


Think of a message board that acts as a marketplace for trading stocks, along with more than a dozen transaction types for transfers, sales, and redemptions.


Inherent in shares is connecting and involving your shareholders. That is why we summarize eyevestor as a sharefunding and engagement platform. The community module is discussed in that engagement part. There you will find functions such as post, polls, votes and your own library for documents.


Everything you need to build and maintain a healthy, long-term ownership relationship can be found at Sharefunding®.

What is Eyevestor?

Do more with your own equity as an entrepreneur! With sharefunding® on Eyevestor you can better manage your equity and build relationships with shareholders that go beyond just a financial relationship. The more involved, the more ambassador!

Eyevestor is the sharefunding® platform that gives every organization the opportunity to do more with its own assets, its share capital. This starts with digitizing the share capital and shareholders. This makes administration simpler and centralized, financing can be raised and employee participation can be easily achieved.

You also have access to a community section with which you can maintain contact with your shareholders, individually and collectively. Eyevestor offers a dynamic life cycle solution in a complete ecosystem.

We represent every company that wants to raise growth capital, start employee participation, issue new shares or create a secondary market for its shareholders.

We represent every investor who wants to buy shares in a company he believes in, which is why we started Eyevestor. To make investing, buying and selling shares more accessible.

We stand for accessibility and liquidity for everyone. We stand for freedom and value. We have a stake in each other. Dare to share.
What is our vision?

The majority of people are customers, employees of SMEs. Yet SMEs cannot do much with their most beautiful product: the share. By dividing you multiply and so you get a share company. We want to break open the global equity market, one of the most inefficient and secretive industries in the world.


We want people to invest again because of involvement and interest, in an accessible way. That people invest in each other, locally and globally. Our vision – Dare to share! Sharing increases your reach. To divide is to multiply. Eyevestor makes this possible.

What about regulatory compliance?

We believe it is of the utmost importance to provide a completely legal platform. Eyevestor is the only Sharefunding® platform that has a European Crowdfunding license (ECSPR).

As an ecosystem, Eyevestor is designed and built in such a way that Eyevestor and its stakeholders act according to and within AFM and ESMA guidelines and, if this is not the case, they can be acted upon accordingly. We refer to our General & Terms of Use.

What is our product?

The core of the platform is very simple. It gives entrepreneurs new opportunities to achieve more with shares. To sell them in exchange for work and/or capital, to distribute them, reward them or whatever the company wants to do with them. With the Engagement section of Eyevestor you can optimally serve your community and make them ambassadors of your company.

The smart thing is that entrepreneurs choose the conditions on which they sell their shares and how active they want investors to be. This way you can determine four different types of co-owners yourself.

In fact, eyevestor is intended and possible for every phase of every company. Whether you have an idea, are a startup, a scale-up or an SME or family business, you can use Eyevestor to easily make a private or public sale of (part of) the company, so that the sale is safe, modern, accessible. , legally and transparently verifiable.

Anyone involved can participate from any desired location via Eyevestor. We then also offer private primary and secondary markets, both a marketplace and a notice board, where investors can buy and sell shares from each other, again according to the conditions drawn up by the entrepreneur.

Eyevestor makes buying and selling stocks accessible and simple, offering a one-stop solution with advanced tools to turn equity into relevant equity. It enables companies to do more with their equity, providing opportunity, choice, freedom and value.


The platform is designed to be a professional and digital share capital management system, suitable for companies of different sizes. The aim is to interactively involve shareholders and stakeholders and to optimise the value of shares.

Can I see how Eyevestor works?

Yes – register and create your Eyeventure - the online environment of your company - for free (Create an Eyeventure). Be sure to invest in an eyeventure. Then you also experience what all your stakeholders will experience. Simple and accessible. We have four different subscription options - PREP, GO, SHARE, FUND! With PREP you can experience Eyevestor and see what is involved.

Is the Eyecon a coin or a crypto?

The Eyecon is the unit that legally represents it. It is the digital representation of the legal property rights that the Eyeventure (the company on Eyevestor) manages and the Eyeconholders own or invest in. For each Eyeventure / company, this depends on the entity (Eyeventure) that is managed in the Eyeventure. Eyecons are usually digital representations of:


1. Shares (NV) or


2. Certificates of Shares (STAK**) or


3. Membership Rights (Coop) We believe it is of the utmost importance to provide a fully legal platform.


Other instruments and points will be added to this. It is always correctly displayed on the Legal tab of every Eyeventure.


You don't have to buy a coin or something like that before you buy an eyecon. You pay for the eyecon you buy in Euros and there is no further conversion that takes place.

Can every company join Eyevestor?

In principle yes. Under the GO subscription you can have up to 20 accounts and no legal entity or legal effect is required. Your eye venture is private under the GO subscription. If you want more accounts or to be publicly visible, you will have to upgrade to a SHARE or FUND subscription. You can find more about it on the pricing page.

What control does Eyevestor exercise over Eyeventures?

As little as possible and at the same time as much as possible to ensure that Eyevestor remains a healthy ecosystem. The main intention is that what happens happens bilaterally between the buyer and seller and the co-owner and the company (the eye venture). The intention is that everything that happens in an Eyeventure happens bilaterally between the entrepreneur and investor.

The main check that Eyevestor does is to validate that what Eyeventure says it sells is correct and not misleading. Even then, all responsibility lies between the bilateral parties. We believe in culture and infrastructure, not in rules from above. Eyevestor always reserves the right to intervene reactively or proactively. More details can be found on our pricing page.

You have registered Sharefunding®, what does that mean?

Sharefunding® is not just a variant of crowdfunding; it is considerably more than that.


We are particularly grateful that sharefunding is now starting to develop its own identity.


At the same time, we also see that various parties misuse the term in deviation from the original meaning that we, as creators of the term, gave it. To combat this and give more strength to the authenticity of sharefunding, we have registered the term.

What is a share or shareholders register?

A shareholders register is a formal document that records the details of a company's shareholders, including their names, contact information and the number of shares they hold.


Updating this register is essential to comply with mandatory requirements. Previously, this required the involvement of a notary.


Nowadays other solutions are possible. Orderly and accurate record keeping remains the ultimate responsibility of the entity's management.


With Eyevestor we've taken this process down a notch, making it simple, scalable and accessible so you can meet your legal obligations without hassle.

What is a Cap table?

A cap table, short for 'capitalization table', contains company information about securities and shared prices to provide an accurate breakdown of the company's ownership as recorded in the register. Keeping the cap table accurate is critical. It also aims to model scenarios on how to plan for financing rounds, IPOs, mergers or acquisitions. In other words, keeping good records is crucial for (long-term) decisions.

Why is it important to maintain your share register and cap table?

Consciously or unconsciously, as an entrepreneur you get up every day to work on the value of your shares. Your share register and your Cap table are like other valuable documents that you keep in a safe. One day you will want to cash in your shares.


It is valuable, essential accounting data for regulatory compliance, financial planning, and shareholder-investor relations.


They help a company keep track of who owns how much of the company and are therefore fundamental to financing, stock and financial transactions.


Before everything could be tracked digitally, it was always an important task to involve an independent third party, such as the notary. The board of the entity or foundation is still ultimately responsible for orderly management. Eyevestor offers the modern solution by giving everyone who is a co-owner their own account and you as an entrepreneur all the necessary (transaction) options. There is nothing more complete, more scalable or simpler.

How can I get help setting up and supervising my register, my eye venture, my marketing and my funding round?

Every day we work to make our platform more user-friendly. An important aspect is making decisions among the many choices on offer. Shares and equity relate to all aspects of your company, from strategy and culture to finances, valuation, proposition, communication, PR and marketing.


Every company is unique, with different existing resources and skills. It can vary which resources you already have and which you still need to make your plans successful.


Fortunately, we have great Sharefunding® partners who provide expertise in various areas such as strategy, implementation, PR, marketing, financing and more. On the Sharefunding® partners page you can indicate which expertise you need and which partners suit this. The areas of expertise are determined by the Sharefunding® partners themselves.
