Our role

Make private-company funding understandable, visible, and operational.

Companies need more than a form. They need a structured way to prepare the business, explain the transaction, publish current information, and stay connected to the people following it.

Investors need more than a pitch. They need access to the current offering document, the stated terms and risks, required acknowledgements, and a clear record of the decision they made.

Backers runs the portal process between those two sides. It does not guarantee a listing, recommend an investment, or decide whether an investment is suitable for a purchaser.

What we run

The work on every side of.

The public site creates discovery. The authenticated workflows create the records. Water and Gwen connect to those records without replacing portal review or investor choice.

For companies

Turn a financing need into a complete record.

Get Backers identifies the starting path. The issuer workspace then brings together the company profile, offering plan, disclosure, documents, audience, pitch, and 21-day preparation program.

For investors

Move from discovery to the published facts.

Company profiles, Water video, offering terms, Form 45-110F1 access, identity checks, risk acknowledgements, and subscription confirmation are connected in one investor journey.

For the portal

Keep decisions, records, and money on controlled rails.

Backers versions documents, records acknowledgements, administers listing and closing states, and separates portal review from event selection, company promotion, and investor choice.

Portal boundaries

The portal is a process, not a recommendation.

Media can create attention and preparation can improve a company's record. Neither changes who makes the listing decision, what investors must review, or who decides whether to invest.

01

Published facts first

The offering document and stated security terms control the investment decision, not a pitch, clip, or live appearance.

02

Independent investor decisions

Backers does not recommend an offering or tell a purchaser whether an investment is suitable.

03

Approval stays with the portal

Bootcamp work, a company profile, or selection for Backers LIVE never guarantees that an offering will be approved or opened.

04

Money follows controlled states

Subscriptions, trust records, closing conditions, disbursements, and scheduled repayments follow the status of the underlying transaction.

The experience

One company record across the full lifecycle.

Founders should not have to restart at every stage. The answers, company profile, offering documents, media, event work, and post-offering updates stay connected.

  1. 01

    Get

    Answer four questions, create an account, and carry the funding path into the issuer workspace.

  2. 02

    Prepare

    Build the company, disclosure, documents, audience, and pitch directly or with Gwen alongside the same records.

  3. 03

    Offer

    After Backers review and approval, investors can access the current documents and complete the required investment flow.

  4. 04

    Stay visible

    Water carries company updates, live sessions, clips, and replays before, during, and after an offering.

Water supplies the company feed, video, live rooms, broadcasts, clips, and replays.

Gwen assists inside issuer and operations workflows while Backers retains the underlying records and controls.

Start here

Raise, finance, or review what is open now.

Get Backers starts the company path with four questions. Investors can open the catalog and move from company discovery to the current offering documents.
