Our vision is to give companies more opportunities to operate with and from their own equity. We oppose the debt society and support the equity society. The majority of people are customers of or employees in SMEs. However, SMEs cannot do much with their most valuable product: the share. By sharing, you multiply by taking a share in each other, and thus you get an equity society. We want to open up the global equity market, one of the most inefficient and mysterious industries worldwide. We want people to invest again out of engagement and interest, in an accessible way. To invest in each other, locally and globally. Our vision – Dare to share! By sharing, you increase your reach. Eyevestor makes this possible.
The core of the platform is very simple. It gives entrepreneurs new opportunities to sell shares in exchange for work and/or (growth) capital. With our platform services, you can easily create a community for your shareholders and make them ambassadors of your organisation.
The smart part? Entrepreneurs set their own terms for selling their shares and how actively they want to involve investors. This makes us attractive to any type of entrepreneur and business.
For example, a startup could raise capital to conduct its first pilot. At the same time, a small family business could use Eyevestor for a private sale of part of the company, ensuring the sale is safe, legal, and transparent.
With Eyevestor, anyone involved can participate and provide input from any location. We also offer a private primary and secondary market where investors can buy and sell shares from each other, again according to the established terms.
You can invest as much as allowed by the company. Companies set their own minimum and maximum investments. These may also vary by member type, as set in the company's eyeventure.
First, you should know your own financial situation. At Eyevestor, we provide this handy tool for that purpose. Additionally, you should study whether the eyeventure provides you with sufficient information to make a well-informed investment decision. Companies in their funding rounds have at least passed Eyevestor's legal checks.
The money is always exchanged between the buyer and seller. Everyone pays to 'Stichting Derdengelden Eyevestor'. All funds are received there, and in the same transaction, the seller is paid and the buyer is credited with the eyecons. Transaction costs are paid by the party as set by the eyeventure; in more than 95% of cases, this is the company. This setup can be found in every eyeventure in the 'Legal Tab'.
Legally, we are required to have every (new) user take an investor test (takes a maximum of 5 minutes when creating a user). If the result shows that you are an 'inexperienced investor', you have four calendar days to reconsider after an investment.
We find it very important to provide a fully legal platform. Eyevestor is authorised to offer crowdfunding services under the ECSP regulation and is registered with the AFM under number 32000017.
Without written permission from the eyeventure and/or investor, no sensitive information will be shared with third parties. More information about managing your data can be found in our privacy policy.
As an Eyevestor user and co-owner in eyeventures, there are both conditional and statutory obligations to identify yourself.

This is determined by law and mentioned in the relevant statutory conditions of the eyeventures.
