Membership styles. Two ways to take part.
These styles describe how involved you choose to be. Membership is also offered in tiers, which we review with you when we talk.
Passive membership
Attend live presentations and invest deal by deal, with no obligation to source or diligence. Receive distributions, statements, and tax documents through the portal.
- Join live, moderated presentations, or watch the recording later.
- Commit during the live pitch, or submit your interest afterward, with no obligation on any deal.
- Stay anonymous to other members.
- Direct handles the sourcing, diligence, and negotiation.
Active membership
Everything passive members get, plus sourcing deals, mentoring founders, and taking on diligence or an advisory or board role.
- Refer companies from your own network into Direct's screening process.
- Help with due diligence where your background matches the company, its market, or its technology.
- Mentor founders on sales, operations, and strategy.
- Take an advisory or board role, and join member-led industry committees.
