On Capitize, we aim to strike a balance between unlocking liquidity for venture capitalists (VCs) and maintaining a balanced risk profile for the buyers of carried interest.

While there are typically no specific restrictions on the amount of carried interest that can be sold, we consider the risk factors associated with the underlying assets to ensure a prudent and responsible approach.

VCs can typically sell up to 50% of their unrealized carried interest, taking into account the risk profile of the assets and the interests of the buyers.

This approach helps to maintain a fair and balanced marketplace, providing VCs with liquidity opportunities while safeguarding the risk profiles of the buyers.

To unlock and liquidate carried interest on Capitize, the process involves the following steps:

- Account Creation: Venture capitalists (VCs) create an account on Capitize, gaining access to the platform.SPV Integration: VCs can manually add their Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) or integrate them through our partners.

- Real-Time Updates: VCs receive live updates on funding rounds and notifications on the portion of their unrealized carried interest available for liquidation.

- Liquidity Request: VCs initiate a liquidity request, specifying the desired portion of their carried interest to sell.

- SPV Verification: Capitize verifies the SPV in collaboration with the fund administrator, ensuring a secure transaction process.

- KYC and KYB Compliance: VCs complete the Know Your Customer (KYC) and Know Your Business (KYB) requirements to comply with regulations.

- Due Diligence: Institutional investors conduct their own due diligence based on information collected by Capitize to assess the investment opportunity.

- Funding the Transaction: Institutional investors provide the necessary funding for the transaction.

- Payout: VCs receive their payout within 72 hours, allowing them to access the capital unlocked through the sale of carried interest.

- Investor Returns: Once the SPV liquidates, investors receive their principal capital, compounded interest, and any performance upside achieved.

At Capitize, we provide a risk-mitigated solution for investors who purchase carried interest from venture capitalists (VCs).

In the event that the value of the underlying assets in an SPV decreases after the liquidity transaction, the risk is borne by the investor who purchased the carried interest.

As a VC who has sold your carried interest, you are not personally liable for any losses or negative returns resulting from the decrease in asset value.

The transaction is structured on a non-recourse basis, which means that your responsibility is limited to the available carry that remains from the exit.

If there is no carry left to pay back, you are not required to repay the investor.

Capitize's innovative platform ensures that investors can access carried interest opportunities while assuming the risk associated with the underlying assets.

We ensure the security and financial well-being of VCs, providing you with a risk-mitigated opportunity to unlock the value of your carried interest without being exposed to the downside risk.

At Capitize, we primarily cater to institutional investors who participate in the platform. We have established strong partnerships and collaborations with reputable institutions in the venture capital space. These institutional investors bring a wealth of experience, expertise, and capital to the table, creating a robust investment ecosystem within our platform.

While our focus is on institutional investors, we also welcome other venture capitalists (VCs) to participate on the buy side, subject to an application process. We recognize the value that VCs bring to the table, and we carefully evaluate each application to ensure that they meet our criteria for participation. This approach allows us to maintain a diverse and dynamic investor community within the Capitize platform.
