This ensures that all investments are conducted in accordance with relevant legal and regulatory frameworks.



  • How does WOWS Global evaluate potential investments?

    WOWS Global employs a differentiated approach in evaluating potential investments based on the type of profile a company holds on the platform:

    WOWS Endorsed Profiles: These profiles undergo a thorough vetting process by WOWS Global. This comprehensive evaluation includes a detailed review of the company’s business model, financial health, market potential, leadership team, and overall investment appeal. The vetting process ensures that these companies meet high standards and are well-prepared to attract and secure funding. The endorsement by WOWS signifies a higher level of credibility and investment readiness, making these companies typically more appealing to serious investors.

    Other Profiles: For companies with other profiles, WOWS Global conducts a basic audit, often referred to as a "sanity check," to ensure that the information provided meets basic standards of accuracy and completeness. However, the responsibility for listing accurate and detailed data primarily lies with the companies themselves. These profiles are not subjected to the extensive vetting process that WOWS Endorsed profiles undergo, and as such, investors are encouraged to perform their own due diligence when considering these opportunities.

  • How much does Premier cost?

    The Premier package is offered at a special price of $9,999 for a 4-month period. The total value of this package is $15,000, offering you a significant discount while providing comprehensive fundraising support.

  • Do I have a dedicated investment manager?

    In the WOWS Global ecosystem, dedicated investment managers are primarily assigned to companies rather than individual investors. These managers ensure that each WOWS Endorsed company is optimally positioned for success, providing tailored support that includes refining investment pitches, preparing for investor meetings, and navigating term sheet negotiations.

    For investors, the onboarding process is facilitated by a member of the investment team who may also serve as a dedicated point of contact (POC). While investors do not have individual investment managers in the same way that companies do, they are encouraged to actively engage with their POC at WOWS Global. By informing the team of their investment mandates and preferences, investors can ensure that they are matched with the most suitable investment opportunities. This proactive communication helps WOWS Global tailor the investment matching process to align with specific investor goals and preferences, enhancing the overall investment experience.

  • How often will I receive updates on my investments?

    Updates on investments are done by the company admin through the equity tools. I.e. a company admin would add the investor and their equity on WOWS for it to be reflected on the investors account. In the same way, an investor can create their own holdings and manage it that way. WOWS Does not at this time update the holdings themselves, the responsibility for this lays with the issuers or holders.

  • How can I track the performance of my investments?

    To effectively track the performance of your investments on WOWS Global, it is advisable for the company you've invested in to actively manage and update their company profile and funding history on the platform. This ensures that all pertinent information about the company's progress and financial status is readily available. Alternatively, as an investor, you have the option to manually create your own holdings by adding a company and registering yourself as an investor within that company’s profile on WOWS Global. This self-managed approach allows you to maintain and monitor your investment data directly.

  • What tax implications should I be aware of?

    Investors are responsible for understanding and complying with their local tax obligations related to their investments.

Investors are encouraged to consult with tax professionals to ensure compliance with relevant tax laws and regulations.

  • Can I co-invest with other investors?

However, developing online features to support syndicate investing directly through the WOWS Global platform is under consideration for future implementation.

  • How are investments handled on WOWS Global?

    Investments through WOWS Global are not conducted on the platform itself. Instead, WOWS Global serves as a facilitative medium that connects investors with companies. All financial transactions, including the actual investments, take place offline once connections are made on the platform. WOWS Global does not handle investment funds nor invest directly; the platform's revenue comes from monthly subscription fees paid by some companies and success fees collected only from endorsed companies when they secure investment.

  • Does WOWS Global manage investment funds or collect investment money?

    No, WOWS Global does not manage or collect any investment funds. The platform operates on a subscription-based and success fee model.

All investment transactions occur outside the platform, directly between investors and companies.

  • What is WOWS Global's role in the return on investment (ROI) and tax implications of investments?

    WOWS Global does not play any role in managing or advising on the return on investment (ROI) or tax implications related to investments made through connections established on the platform. As the investment transactions are conducted offline, directly between investors and companies, any financial outcomes, including ROI and tax matters, are handled by the respective parties involved according to local regulations and laws. Investors and companies are advised to consult with financial, tax, and legal professionals to manage these aspects appropriately.

It includes features like a WOWS-endorsed profile on WOWS Deal Flow, a dedicated investment manager, personalized investor outreach, preparation for investor meetings, and assistance with term sheet negotiations.

    In contrast, the "Pitch Ready" plan is more self-service oriented, offering basic tools and opportunities for companies to independently explore potential investor connections. It provides access to a platform where companies can present themselves to investors but does not include the hands-on support and personalized services included in the "Endorsed" plan. This makes "Endorsed" particularly valuable for those seeking a more guided approach to securing investment.

    The 'Endorsed' plan is currently priced at $999 per month, which is part of a promotional offer, with a four-month minimum commitment.

  • Can we cancel the "Endorsed" plan before the three-month period?

This commitment is designed to provide ample time and support to effectively connect companies with strategic investors and maximize their chances of a successful capital raise.

  • How long after applying will we know if we’re approved for the "Endorsed" plan?

    Once you apply for the "Endorsed" plan at WOWS Global, the approval process typically takes between 2 to 5 days. The duration largely depends on how complete and accurate your application and profile are at the time of submission.

  • What happens if we’re not approved for the "Endorsed" plan?

    If your application for the "Endorsed" plan is not approved by WOWS Global, there are still valuable pathways and support options available to you:

    Feedback and Recommendations: WOWS Global typically provides constructive feedback on why the application was not approved. This feedback can be instrumental in understanding specific areas that need improvement, such as aspects of your business plan, financial projections, or pitch materials.

    Alternative Options: Depending on your company's current stage and needs, WOWS Global may recommend enrolling in the "Pitch Ready" tier. This plan is more self-service but still offers valuable opportunities to connect with investors and access resources that can help further develop your company.

    Further Development: The feedback and the alternative options provided are aimed at helping your company develop to a point where it may either reapply for the "Endorsed" plan successfully in the future or achieve its goals through other means provided by WOWS Global.

  • What kind of investments can we expect through WOWS Global ?

    Through WOWS Global, companies can expect a versatile range of investment types and sizes to accommodate various stages and needs of their business growth. This flexibility ensures that businesses across different sectors can find suitable funding options tailored to their specific requirements. Here’s a more detailed look at the kinds of investments available:

    Primary Equity Raises: These are direct investments into the company for equity shares. Primary equity raises are fundamental for early-stage companies looking to build capital for expansion, product development, or market entry. This type of investment is typically utilized by startups and growth-stage companies aiming to scale their operations.

    Secondary Equity Raises: Unlike primary equity raises that fund company operations directly, secondary transactions involve the purchase of existing shares from other shareholders or founders. This can be beneficial for allowing early investors or founders to realize some gains from their investment or equity stakes without the company having to raise new capital.

    SAFE Notes (Simple Agreement for Future Equity): SAFE notes are instruments that convert into equity at a later date, typically at the time of the next funding round. They are designed to simplify the early-stage investment process, providing startups with quick access to capital without immediately diluting ownership. SAFE notes are particularly popular among startups due to their simplicity and flexibility.

    Venture Debt: This type of investment involves loans that are typically used by venture equity-backed companies to extend their runway and finance their operations without further diluting equity. Venture debt can be an attractive option for companies at various stages, providing them with the necessary capital to grow while potentially preserving shareholder value.

    Investment Sizes: WOWS Global facilitates investments starting at smaller sums like $10,000, extending to larger, more substantial amounts. This range allows businesses of different sizes and at different stages—from seed to growth—to find appropriate funding. The wide range of investment sizes also attracts a diverse group of investors, from individuals looking for smaller equity positions to institutional investors interested in larger stakes.

    By offering such a diverse array of investment types and sizes, WOWS Global ensures that businesses can access the capital they need in a form that best suits their current situation and future goals. This approach not only helps in fostering business growth but also in building robust, adaptable, and strategically financed companies.

  • How does WOWS Global match companies with potential investors?

    WOWS Global employs a comprehensive strategy to match companies with potential investors, utilizing a combination of technology and personalized service to ensure that both parties have the best chance at a successful partnership. Here’s a detailed look at how this process works:

    WOWS Deal Flow Platform: This is an advanced online platform where companies can create detailed profiles that showcase their business model, market potential, and funding needs. The platform uses algorithmic matching to connect companies with investors based on specified criteria such as industry focus, investment size, and geographic preference. This technology-driven approach helps in quickly identifying potential matches that meet the specific criteria of both investors and companies.

    Dedicated Investment Manager: Each company under the "Endorsed" plan is assigned a dedicated investment manager. This manager brings their personal network and industry insights to bear, further enhancing the matching process. They have a deep understanding of both the investment landscape and the specific needs of the companies they support.

    Investor Interest Alignment: The investment manager plays a crucial role in actively seeking out investors whose interests align with the company's business and growth goals. This involves analyzing investor portfolios to identify those with a history of investing in similar sectors or business models, and those who are actively looking for new investment opportunities.

    Industry and Market Specifics: Matching also considers the specific industries and markets the company operates in. WOWS Global leverages its insights and network to find investors who are not only interested in the sector but who also have a proven track record of helping companies grow in these areas.

    Investment Size and Stage: The matching process is tailored to fit the investment size and stage of the company. Whether it’s seed funding, series rounds, or larger scale funding needs, WOWS Global ensures that investors matching these criteria are targeted, which increases the likelihood of funding success.

    Strategic Engagement Activities: WOWS Global also facilitates various networking events, pitch sessions, and introductions that provide companies with the opportunity to meet and engage with potential investors directly. This can include one-on-one meetings, industry conferences, and specialized investor roundtables.

    Through this multi-faceted approach, combining sophisticated technology with personalized expert service, WOWS Global effectively matches companies with the most suitable investors, maximizing their chances of securing the necessary capital for growth.

  • Are there any equity requirements or fees besides the monthly plan cost?

    The "Endorsed" plan by WOWS Global, priced at $999 per month with a minimum commitment of three months, primarily includes the costs associated with accessing the services outlined in the plan, such as the dedicated investment manager, preparation for investor meetings, and profile endorsements on WOWS Deal Flow. However, it's important to clarify a few additional financial considerations regarding equity requirements and other potential fees:

    Equity Requirements: WOWS Global itself does not take equity.
    Success Fees are only applied to "Endorsed" profiles: At WOWS Global, our success fee structure is designed to align with your funding achievements. For equity raises, we charge a success fee of 3% of the amount raised through our network, which reflects our commitment to securing the best possible equity partners for your venture. For venture debt arrangements, the success fee is set at 1.5%, of the amount raised through our network, recognizing the different nature and requirements of debt financing. These fees are only applicable upon the successful closure of funding, ensuring that our interests are perfectly aligned with your success.

    Other Potential Costs: While the basic services are covered by the monthly fee, there could be additional costs related to specific services or resources outside the standard package. These are always subject to pre-approval and might include specialized financial analysis or legal consultations regarding financial materials preparation.

  • Can we switch from the "Pitch Ready" to the "Endorsed" plan?

    Yes, companies can upgrade their plan, subject to approval by the WOWS Global investment team.

  • What is the duration of the "Endorsed" plan?

    The "Endorsed" plan by WOWS Global requires a minimum commitment of fourmonths. This duration is designed to provide sufficient time for the company to effectively utilize the comprehensive support offered by WOWS, including enhancements to the company’s profile on WOWS Deal Flow, dedicated support from an investment manager, and detailed preparations for investor meetings and term sheet negotiations.

    After the initial four-month period, the plan can be extended on month-to-month on basis. Extending the plan allows companies to continue receiving ongoing support and maintain the momentum gained. This includes continued guidance from their dedicated investment manager, ongoing investor matchmaking, and sustained support in follow-up negotiations and meetings. Additionally, companies can keep their WOWS-endorsed profile active on WOWS Deal Flow, ensuring sustained visibility and the opportunity to update their profile as their business evolves. 

    This flexibility not only helps companies adapt their strategies based on market feedback and evolving investor interests but also allows them to build and maintain long-term relationships with a broader network of investors, crucial for future funding rounds or strategic partnerships. The quarterly extension option ensures that businesses are supported throughout their growth journey, aligning with their long-term strategies and investment needs.

  • Do we need to have a certain amount of revenue or funding already to qualify?

    For the "Endorsed" plan by WOWS Global, companies are subject to an approval process by the investment team. This process evaluates various aspects of the business, including its potential for growth, business model viability, and market opportunity. However, there is no specific requirement for a company to have a certain amount of revenue or prior funding to qualify for this plan. The key criteria are more focused on the company’s potential and strategic fit with investor interests within the WOWS network.

    In contrast, companies that choose other plans offered by WOWS Global, which are more self-managed, are not subject to this rigorous approval process by the investment team. However, all company profiles, regardless of the plan, do undergo auditing to ensure quality and overall compliance. This auditing process is important to maintain the integrity and standard of the platform, ensuring that all participating companies meet certain quality criteria and adhere to platform guidelines.

    Thus, while revenue and prior funding are not explicit prerequisites for the "Endorsed" plan, the overall strength and readiness of the business to attract investment are critical factors during the evaluation.

  • What kind of reporting or updates will we need to provide to WOWS Global?

    Companies under the "Endorsed" plan should be prepared to offer regular updates on their financial health, progress towards milestones, and any changes in their business model.

  • How are investor meetings arranged?

    For companies enrolled in WOWS Global's "Endorsed" plan, arranging investor meetings is a streamlined process managed by your dedicated investment manager. Here's how it works:

    Dedicated Investment Manager Coordination: Your investment manager plays a crucial role in scheduling meetings with potential investors. They will take into account both your availability and that of the investors to find suitable times for discussions. This personalized approach ensures that meetings are set up efficiently and at times that work for all parties involved.
    Calendar Integration: Companies on the "Endorsed" plan have the option to publish their calendar directly on their WOWS profile. This feature allows investors to view your availability and book meetings directly, facilitating an easier connection and scheduling process.
    For companies using the "Pitch Ready" plan:

  • What is the WOWS Investment Portal?

    The WOWS Investment Portal is an investment ecosystem designed to connect a diverse range of companies, including startups and SMEs, with potential investors to facilitate capital raises.

    The platform offers various tiers of profile listings, each tailored to meet different needs and stages of company development. With services like the "Endorsed" and "Pitch Ready" plans, WOWS Global provides tools and resources that help companies enhance their appeal to investors and navigate the complexities of the investment process. This includes features like WOWS-endorsed profiles on WOWS Deal Flow, dedicated investment managers, and comprehensive support for preparing investor meetings and negotiating term sheets.

    The platform ensures that investors have access to a curated pool of companies without any associated fees, streamlining the investment process and supporting dynamic growth within the business ecosystem.

  • How is Premier different from the Endorsed plan?

    While the Endorsed Plan provides you access to WOWS Global’s deal flow platform and investor network, the Premier package offers personalized, end-to-end support. You’ll work with a dedicated team of experts who will assist you with financial modeling, crafting a compelling pitch deck, preparing SAFE notes, negotiating term sheets, and securing a 409A valuation. This is a true full-service offering for startups that want professional, hands-on guidance at every step of their fundraising journey.

  • What is the timeline for receiving services in Premier?

    Once you sign up for Premier, you’ll immediately gain access to the Endorsed Plan features. Your dedicated investment manager will then set up a consultation call to understand your needs and get started with the financial model, pitch deck, and other services. Each service, like the financial model or pitch deck, typically takes 1-2 weeks to deliver, but we tailor the timeline to meet your specific goals and deadlines.

  • How do I get started with Premier?

    To get started, simply register, create a company profile and select "premier" at publication or schedule a call with our team to discuss your goals and learn more about the Premier package. We’ll assist you through the next steps and assign your dedicated investment manager who will guide you through the entire process.
