How Direct works. Direct is a professionally managed investment platform.

We source the deal with help from a network built over 20+ years of relationships, run the diligence alongside members whose expertise spans many industries, negotiate the terms, and invest our own capital first. Members watch the same live pitch with the founders and invest on the same terms as the principal.

01

Notification

An email briefing when a deal opens, with the company overview and the live pitch date. Online portal shows upcoming presentations and option to watch recorded presentations for open deals.

02

Presentation

A live, moderated pitch in the proprietary pitch app: video, slides, deal information, and group chat, all in your web browser with nothing to download.

03

Commitment & close

Commit during the pitch or afterward. Deal terms, documents, and funding instructions then follow in the online portal, so you can review everything before any money moves.

04

Management

Direct manages the deal from inception to funding to exit. On-time tax documents and reporting accessible through your secure file vault and portal.

The Direct deal room: presentation slides, live video, group chat, deal information, and the control panel
