2. Browse Pitches
Select ‘Browse Pitches’ from the vertical menu on the left.
You will see the available pitches, sorted by distance
from your city of residence.
3. Find and Select a Pitch
You can change the city, search for specific pitch or filter
the available pitches by location or industry. When you find
a project of interest, click on it to see the details.
4. Look at the Pitch
Look at the pitch details and decide if and how much
FPS you would like to invest. You can also follow the
pitch and return to it later.
5. Place an Investment
If you have decided to invest, type in the FPS amount.
Consider your current balance and the bids placed so
far. The system will try to help you to place your
investment properly.
6. Remove a Bid
You can see your bids under ‘Investment’. If you want
to remove it, click the red cross next to it.
7. Outbid Another Investor
If the company is already 100% funded, you can
still invest in it and become part of company
supporters. You can place a higher bid. Consider
the bid statistics under ‘All Bids’.
8. Win or Lose
Depending on the total investment and your bids, at
the end of the funding campaign you can win or lose
funding points. Nevertheless, in any case, you will
still be part of the company and its team.
9. Collect Reward
If you are among the best supporters of the company,
you can get an additional reward too – a reward
provided by the entrepreneur.
10. Enjoy the Opportunity
As you use only funding points throughout the game, you can never lose
real money. Take the chance and use ‘Trial & Error’-approach to train
yourself in investments. Enjoy the opportunity!
