Follow one raise through.
Same raise, start to finish. At each step: what usually goes wrong, and what happens here instead. The record grows alongside the page.
One raise, step by step
- DAY 0 · THE INVITATION
Usually: an email, and no record of who else got one.
Here the invitation is the first entry in the record: who was approached, when, and on what terms. That is the record an exemption is assessed on. It does not establish the exemption; it is what the company would have to produce.
- DAY 1 · IDENTITY
Usually: a passport scan in a shared folder, and a KYC report nobody can find later.
Here the check runs in place and the result is recorded against the investor and the deal, not to a folder someone has to remember the name of.
- DAY 3 · THE DOCUMENT
Usually: version 7 final FINAL(2).docx.
Documents are generated from the deal's own parameters. One source, one version, and the version each person actually received is part of the record.
- DAY 4 · THE SIGNATURE
Usually: signed in one system, filed in another, timestamped by neither.
Signed on the signer's phone with a device-bound key, and independently timestamped as it happens, so when is established by a clock that is not ours.
- ONGOING · THE DATA ROOM
Usually: the company knows who was invited. Not who actually opened what.
Every open and every download is logged against a person and a moment: the difference between "we shared it" and "they were shown it on the 14th".
- THE CLOSE · THE RECORD
Usually: months of reconstruction, under pressure, years later.
The raise closes in one record. The auditor, the investor or the other side's counsel checks it on their own machine, years later, with free standard tools.
The walk ends at the close. The questions do not.
A raise closes in weeks. The questions reach back for years: the investor who says nobody told them, the acquirer who asks what was shown before the last round, the auditor who wants the history in order. A record made at the time is the only answer that can exist when that happens; it cannot be created afterwards. That is why we are extending the rail past the close. None of what follows is built. It is where we are taking the platform, published because infrastructure is chosen for years and clients are entitled to know the direction.
- We are building an investor-relations layer on the rail, one that would record, for each update or report sent to the investors of a closed raise, who received it, who opened it, and when. The dispute that begins with "nobody told me" would then meet a dated record of exactly who was told.
- We are building governance on the same signing engine: shareholder resolutions, written consents and votes as signed, evidenced acts. The rail would record what was sent, signed and counted; whether a resolution is legally effective stays counsel's question.
- We are building the dispute pack: one export holding the complete evidenced history of a single investor relationship. Every document, signature, distribution and data-room access, in order, designed to verify offline like every pack the rail produces today.
- We are building toward exit readiness: a company that lived on the rail arriving at due diligence with the record of years already organised and exportable, instead of reconstructing it under deal pressure.
What a client can buy today is everything else on this page marked as running: the rail from invitation to close, live in production. Nothing inside this band is available yet, and none of it carries a delivery date. The direction is reviewed at the date shown and it may change.
The issuer decides who may look. The investor decides what to do.
Every raise carries a visibility switch, and the issuer holds it. Investors come to one place to see what the world is raising, and choose for themselves.
Global visibility is in build and opens to founding clients first. The compliance rail below (onboarding, KYC, contracts, signing, data rooms, and the record each raise closes in) is live in production today. Ask for early access.
Visibility, per raise
Global means visible to every registered investor, shipping with jurisdiction gating, investor categorisation and risk disclaimers. Invitation-only means private, which is how every raise begins. The switch is set per raise, and flipping it is logged like everything else.
Free to look
Investors register at no cost and browse globally visible raises through neutral filters: sector, stage, geography, ticket size. There is no ranking, no score, and no list of picks. The platform presents; the investor selects.
Verified to go further
One identity check (€19.99 incl. VAT, for private individuals) opens full deal access: documents, data rooms, alerts. Once, no subscription. It carries across every raise, and when an issuer invites an investor the issuer's plan covers it. Verification attests identity as at a date. It says nothing about an offering.
Global never means everything.
A raise can be visible to the world without being disclosed to the world. What a viewer sees climbs a ladder, and the boundary between rungs is enforced server-side, in what the database will return, not by page design.
- RUNG 1 · ANONYMOUS The teaser
Anyone browsing sees three things: sector, stage, and a short description a human reviewer has checked before publication. No company name, no terms, no amounts.
- RUNG 2 · REGISTERED The listing
A registered investor sees the listing itself: name, summary, jurisdictions, ticket range, certification status. It is a closed set of fields, and documents, the cap table and media are not among them.
- RUNG 3 · A RELATIONSHIP The offering room
The full room, with the documents, the data room and the record, opens only through the issuer: an invitation, or expressed interest the issuer takes up. No rung below this one contains a document.
Before interest is expressed, the investor accepts a written risk acknowledgement, and the exact wording they accepted is recorded in the chained record. The security page names that mechanism. The ladder is disclosure control in the issuer's hands; it is not a claim that any rung discharges a legal duty.
Listings are published by issuers, not by Exedra Gate. Nothing on this platform is investment advice, an endorsement, or a solicitation by Exedra Gate; access to any raise is subject to jurisdiction and investor-category rules, and private investments can lose their entire value.
From the invitation to the close, without a handoff.
Each step is the input to the next. Every check, signature, upload and approval is signed, timestamped, and chained into one record per deal, written as it happens rather than assembled afterwards from whatever survived.
Investor onboarding
Invitation-based access. Structured investor profiles, aware of jurisdiction from the first screen.
KYC & KYB
Document and liveness checks through Stripe Identity, worldwide. Further regional identity rails are on the roadmap and not yet integrated.
Contracts, generated
Documents assembled from the deal’s own parameters. One source, one version.
Our own signing engine
Signing built in house. No third-party e-signature vendor stands between the parties and the record.
The evidence pack
The raise, closed into one record: every document, identity check and signature, in order. Anyone can check it on their own machine, years later, with free standard tools.
A filmed walkthrough is in production.
Signed from anywhere. Bound to the device in the signer's hand.
Approval happens on the signer's phone, and the approval is a signature from a key held on that device, released by face or fingerprint. There are no one-time codes by SMS or email for anyone to intercept.
- QR scan-to-approve for signing sessions: dynamic, single-use, short-lived.
- Device-bound passkeys: the approval is bound to the device that registered it.
- Biometric gate: face or fingerprint before any signature.
Asked by every serious issuer.
Is Exedra Gate a broker, exchange, or fund platform?
No. Exedra Gate is a technology platform, not a licensed financial intermediary: it never holds, routes, or settles investor funds, does not execute or match trades, does not recommend specific deals to specific investors, and charges no success fees on raises. Issuers publish their raises and control the visibility; investors self-select. Funds move only between the parties and their licensed institutions. Where an activity requires a license (paid promotion of specific offerings, brokerage, custody) we integrate licensed partners, or we don’t do it yet.
What does the certification badge actually claim?
Exactly this: the company, its directors, and beneficial owners over 25% were screened as of a stated date, and no adverse matches surfaced in the checked sources. Re-screening on a defined rhythm is part of the engagement while the certificate is active. It is a statement about a process, not about investment quality. It is not advice, not an endorsement, and not a guarantee.
Does AI make compliance decisions?
Never. The AI surfaces signals such as inconsistencies, adverse findings and review priorities, and a human makes every decision. Every model is inventoried, validated, and explainable, and every signal is signed into the evidence chain together with the reason it fired.
Who can verify an evidence pack?
Anyone, offline, with standard tools. The pack carries its signatures, its independent timestamps and its chain; checking them requires only free standard tools. An auditor can run it in minutes, and so can the person on the other side of a disagreement, which is rather the point.
Are the conversations part of the evidence?
No, and we will not say otherwise. Documents, signatures and document access are recorded in the evidence record. Messaging inside the platform is ordinary application data, useful for running the engagement but not part of the evidence pack. If something said in a conversation matters to the record, it belongs in a document that gets signed.
How do we get access?
Issuers and advisors start with the access request below; where there is a fit, we walk the team through the platform on a live raise scenario and set up the workspace. Investors: registration is free. Open registration and the global deal feed are in build; investors invited by an issuer are onboarding today. A one-time identity check (€19.99 incl. VAT, for private individuals; no subscription; covered by the issuer where the investor was invited) opens full deal access, and it is reused across every deal. Invitation-only raises remain exactly that: visible only to the investors their issuer invites.
Where does our data live?
In-region managed cloud is available today. Private-cloud and sovereign deployment for institutions and government entities is scoped, quoted and delivered as an implementation engagement. The platform is engineered to support personal-data obligations under GDPR, Switzerland's revised FADP, and the regional regimes that apply where the client operates, including correction rights for individuals named in screening.
Bring the next raise onto the rail.
Access begins with a note on the company and the raise. Where there is a fit, the whole loop is shown, invitation through to the closed record, on a live system, and the engagement leaves with a workspace ready.
