With highly advanced and user-friendly online tools, CapBridge's platform sits on an enterprise-grade software backbone and is backed by military-grade security. All CapBridge processes are streamlined and optimized to complete transactions efficiently.

4. Better investor awareness

Investors and companies are not forced to negotiate and determine a valuation for the company at the time of investment, which is often a time-consuming, expensive and difficult process in traditional equity fundraising.

5. Adjust risk

The typical term of a company’s convertible notes in the pre-IPO stage is about 3 years (conversion/repayment), and the company can set the applicable discount rate, valuation cap and conversion rights to manage the risk and reliability of its investors’ investment and founders’ share.

6. Reduce borrowing costs

Convertible bonds generally have lower borrowing costs than conventional bank loans because they contain rights that allow for repayment of equity (rather than actual cash) at a lower interest rate.

7. Speed ​​up fundraising with “preferred access”

Accelerating the fundraising process with the help of accredited and retail investors, CapBridge provides a platform to accelerate AI and RI wealth raising through Preferred Access.

Financing

In September 2019, CapBridge received US$4 million in strategic investment financing from Hanwha Investment Securities.
