BridgePointe Capital Markets recently launched an electronic funding portal.
Clemson University has been using the platform for its clemsonideas.com funding platform, as has the nonprofit-focused fundingcharleston.com.
BridgePointe’s private marketplace, bridgepointemarkets.com, allows accredited individuals and qualified institutions to invest in private businesses via Reg. D debt and equity private placements.
The portal uses mobile technology, video overviews, offers standardized transactions with online documentation, electronic closings, and investor communication tools; robust due diligence which leverages a team of SEC/FINRA registered investment bankers; and community support. The company currently has several clients already participating, including Anderson’s Growler Haus, Charleston’s Luxury Simplified Group and Engineered Marine Coatings, and JournalDoc based in Bethesda, Md. Any U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission- (SEC) accredited investors can participate in the program, which does not have a cost to join.
