Investment Process

The process for making an investment on Sharifs is as follows:

• Access Public Information: Investors can view the key metrics for startups, including current sales, customer base, valuation, and annual growth, through our platform.
• Submit an Investment Lead: Interested investors can submit a lead through the platform by indicating the amount they wish to invest and the startup(s) they are interested in.
• Follow-Up Meeting: After submitting the lead, our team will follow up via email to schedule a meeting. This meeting will cover investment details, startup performance, and share allotment options.
• Investment Proposal: Based on the meeting, we will provide a personalized Investment Proposal outlining the terms of your investment.
• Final Agreement: Once both parties agree on the terms, we will prepare a Share Subscription Agreement (SSA). This legally binding document finalizes the investment and specifies share allotment and investment conditions.
