+ How does the investment work?

We invest in 3-4 later stage startups per year, receiving €200 - 300K equity investment, valuation determined case by case.

In addition to the equity allocated to the investors, Collider receives from the startup 2% for services delivered and to deliver in the future.

+ How much can I invest?

Collider will propose 3-4 vetted investment opportunities per year. You have the flexibility to opt in or out, but we expect you to join in at least 2 investments per year with a minimum investment of €25K per opportunity. The maximum will be determined by the number of investors who want to opt in.

The next opportunity to invest is in 2023. Stay tuned for our announcements.

+ Where will the investors' shares be held?

We will create a STAK (a foundation) for each cohort, holding the shares. Investors will receive certficates of shares from the STAK and are in that way beneficial owner of the shares.

+ What equity will I receive?

The equity will vary depending on the individual investment level.

• X = Number of shares held by the STAK on behalf of the individual investor • Y = Number of shares held in each company, which represents 4-10% of the entire share capital • O = Overall commitment by each individual investor (as set out in the relevant commitment letter) • A = Total investment by all investors (aggregate)

• X = Y x (O/A)

+ Do I have pre-emption rights?

You do! As part of the offer to Collider investors you have pre-emption rights in all of the companies we collectively choose to invest in. This means you get preferential access to further follow on rounds and can increase your stake in the companies you want to back. Depending on how each company conducts their follow-on rounds, they will notify you when they are fundraising.

+ Do you have an anti dilution clause?

We do not. We get asked this a lot and we believe that an anti-dilution clause dissuades future angel investors and VCs from investing in our startups – thus impacting their future rounds. However, investors do have pre-emption rights. To avoid dilution there’s the option to follow on in future rounds. Following in future rounds is a trend amongst investors over the past five years.

+ Why do I/we invest in a portfolio?

By investing in a portfolio, you are doing two key things – diversifying your investment, and simultaneously de-risking it. Spreading your investment across a cohort of startups could potentially increase your chances of a good return – it’s commonly known in our market that in most portfolios, 1-2 startups normally pay for the whole fund (although at the stage we meet the companies it will be hard to gauge who of the companies this will be). Furthermore, by investing early, you are acquiring capital in these organisations at a far better rate than when they start to scale.

In addition, by investing in a portfolio you have the chance to work and add value to a larger number of companies and their different technologies.

+ When do you need the money?

Collider will draw down the amount required from you 14 working days before Selection Day.

+ Are you AFM regulated?

We aren't a "typical" investment organisation ("beleggingsinstelling") as meant in the (Dutch) Wet op het financieel toezicht (Wft). We operate as an investment club where the investors take the ultimate decision regarding the startups to invest in. Collider acts as a facilitator, and use an authorised legal and financial process through organisations who work with us on the appropriate due diligence on all of the startups you invest in as part of the recruitment process and prior to the money being invested in each individual company. The investors, who receive certficates of shares in each individual startup, van decide together on portfolio management matters.
