Why would I seek international investors when there are more than enough here in the US?

INVESTORS
What role do you play in supporting investors find opportunities?
Through our network of Investment Advisors, and long-held relationships with companies across the Valley we get access to top investment opportunities - not always available to international investors. We work to understand what each investor seeks and we do our best to match them with the best opportunities.
Why do you focus on investment opportunities in the US?
Our goal is to generate huge returns to investors and we believe in the US potential to continue creating the world’s most innovative and scalable companies. They go on to provide great exit opportunities. Many overseas investors don’t have access to these opportunities and we want to bridge that gap.
What is the profile of companies that you work with?
Enter Capital targets US companies who have $10-250M in revenue and have shown fast domestic growth and are on the path towards international expansion. We do not consider companies with less than $0.5M in sales.

What is the minimum investment commitment that you expect when investing in the companies in your network?
The minimum investment commitment depends on the company at the time of fundraising. However, we can typically negotiate the amount - as many companies are interested in working with us due to the local support and global expansion support that we can provide them outside of just capital.
What if I can provide a lot of expansion resources but do not meet the minimum threshold of investment required by the company?
There will be cases when the minimum investment amount might be higher than what an investor wants to put in. In those cases, we try to negotiate the amount, or get other investors onboard and co-invest in the deal.
How do you protect the privacy of the information we give you?
We abide by all data protection laws, sign NDA’s with our partners, and only release information that we are authorized to give out by companies, investors, and advisors.
INVESTMENT ADVISORS
Who can be an investment advisor?
You do not have to be a licensed advisor to participate. At Enter Capital we build a community of individuals who through their vast personal and professional networks can help companies grow business in new regions and find overseas investors, while being compensated for their efforts.
What role do I play in the deal?
When joining our partnership network, non-licensed Advisors get the opportunity to legitimately earn fundraising fees from a company by introducing them to Enter Capital’s overseas investors.
What are the benefits of collaborating with Enter Capital?
You will get access to the world’s largest venture partner, meaning that there is a higher chance that one of the opportunities that you bring to the table ends up closing a deal with an investor. We also provide you with paperwork, legal support, and protective compensation agreements. Enter Capital supports Advisors from our Partnership network even if companies reject to compensate them. If our Partner does not have a fundraising agreement in place with a company, we share 5% from our buyside success fee.
What is regulation S and how does it affect me?
According to the SEC, on a federal level collecting fundraising fees by unlicensed “brokers” is illegal, despite some states’ exceptions. However, the Reg S “safe harbor” rule permits it so long as they are overseas investors and the money is transferred directly from an overseas fund. We support Advisors from our partnership network by providing them with standard and Reg S Fundraising agreements to use with the companies they engage.
What type of commissions can I get from being an investment advisor?
Partners are free to charge fundraising fees to companies as they see fit, fees in the industry can range between 1-3%. Enter Capital does not charge companies commissions if we have a matching investment mandate from our investors. We also provide partners with a protective compensation agreement if the company fails to meet its end of the bargain.
Is there any cost associated with being one of Enter Capital’s investment advisors?
There are no costs associated with being an EC investment advisor.
