#TOKEPORTAL

Short overview, key facts about TokePortal.com

Founded in Budapest, TokePortal. com (or simply: TOKE) was the first Hungarian equity crowdfunding platform that successfully launched several equity campaigns. In order to expand internationally and take advantage of the European Crowdfunding Service Provider Regulation (ECSPR) regulation, the service provider relocated to Malta under the supervision of the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA).

As a licenced crowdfunding service provider, TokePortal.com manages the public capital raising, in the form of crowdfunding of startups or SME’s based in the targeted EU member states, in exchange for tradeable securities, such as equity, debt, or convertible loan, up to €5M per annum, and to enable secondary trading therein. Crowdfunding, as an acceleration tool, and as an interconnected ecosystem builder, can contribute essentially to a sustainable, crisis-resistant economy, and it is an effective, accessible, and engaging method for fundraising, branding, and market entry. The crowdfunding platform is a marketplace, where the supply are the projects, aka campaigns, and the demand are the investors.

In Toke’s strategy, we envision a consolidating pan-European capital market which is now completely institutional, top down, but over time, simply by internet-based direct participation, be disrupted by bottom-up, retail-based, organic growth. Crowdfunding, as an acceleration tool, and as an interconnected ecosystem builder, can contribute essentially to this desired, sustainable, crisis-resistant economy. This is one of the missions Eurocrowd, the largest European crowdfunding trade association represents, of which our co-founder Nora Szeles has recently been elected as a non-executive board member as well.

Crowdfunding is an effective, accessible, and engaging method for fundraising, branding, and market entry. The crowdfunding platform is a marketplace, where the supply are the projects, aka campaigns, and the demand are the investors. During the crowdfunding campaign, prospective investors, who created an investor profile on the website, can express interest to invest into the Campaign owner’s company by accepting the Key Investor Information Sheet (KIIS) of the pre-vetted Campaign owner and its lead investor (an angel or a VC). In order to make an informed decision, the KIIS and other marketing materials are published on the campaign page, that includes a forum where prospective investors can engage in conversation, just like in the webinars organised by the CSP. Indications are revokable until the 4th day following the last day of the campaign.

TOKE’s value proposition for Founders – as detailed further on the Campaign onboarding link – is as follows:

  1. Fast: 2-3X faster than any other form of investing. As of August 2024, our investment capacity is about EUR 0.5M/month, that is expected to double by the year-end. This capital can be disbursed within 2-3 months. No minimum campaign size is required.
  2. Efficient: two in one. Research shows that the crowdfunding campaign combines marketing and funding at once.
  3. Savvy: small tickets add up to a large: crowdfunding is he only way to collect small tickets efficiently, and the only method to make clients and buyers finance you.
  4. Flexible leverage: The crowd as a coinvestor: Great for a bridge round or as a supplement and leverage any angel/VC investment without damaging the cap table, as an SPV can be created.
  5. Minimum risk to be taken: at a cost maximum of EUR 2k: at TOKE, you can launch a pre-registration campaign to ‘test the waters’, assessing what range of prospective investors are ready to commit. If that 3 weeks turn out to be unsuccessful, you can withdraw from the contract.
  6. Service: TOKE offers tailor-made incubation and acceleration services as well as personel campaign management services, on a weekly online meeting-based manner, for free. The key element is building momentum requires focus and project management, as outlined in the campaign launch contract.
  7. Assistance: in the completition of the documentation, due diligence and the transaction as well as in the post-campaign investor reporting, almost for free.
  8. Very competitive: in pricing, including your own expected marketing costs, the capital raise would probably cost you more than a one time 12% of the Capital. And threre is a choice of a flat fee or success fee based campaign service.
  9. Secondary trading: Investors buy and sell offers are displayed on website and we assist in completing the trade, thus will a secondary liquidity be provided.
  10. Incubation and mentoring services: for early-stage or idea-phase enterprises, we provide unique incubation and mentoring services in such a way that only contracted persons can access the draft materials in the data room and comment on them.
  11. Our Mentor Platform is starting to become a community; we organize a mentor event monthly. Our mentors provide two hours of pro bono mentoring per month to our contracted clients, Campaign Hosts. On the same page, we also provide good visibility opportunities for our Partners in our newsletters, events, and on our social media channels.
  12. Issuance of convertible loans with an annual limit of €5M. There are countries, such as Hungary, that otherwise limit the issuance to a much lower level, but ECSPR is exempt from such limitations. (The implementation of this service is in progress.)

#CROWDFUNDING

Learn more about crowdfunding

Online crowdfunding is an effective and innovative (alternative) financial technology service, featuring an easy web-shop-style process for crowdfunding projects and startups through online campaigns. The crowdfunding platform serves as a marketplace for investors and campaign owners in this process. Unlike traditional forms of financing, which include a higher investment amount from one or several sources, crowdfunding can raise smaller investments from a large number of people, the crowd. During the several months-long campaigns, investors can ask questions to campaign owners to learn about the operation of the company.
