Do investors pay any fees to invest?

No. Investors pay no transaction fees when they invest through Invown. It is also free to join the platform, view opportunities, conduct due diligence, communicate with issuers, and review offering materials. You do not need a subscription of any kind.

Invown’s fees are paid by the companies raising money, not by you. Every issuer plan works the same way: a flat monthly rate while the raise is live, a commission only on what the issuer actually raises, and one-time setup fees. Payment processing is a pass-through, and Invown takes no equity in the raise. You can see the full issuer fee schedule on the pricing page.

What happens to your money after you invest: while a raise is open, your funds are held in escrow with a bank until closing. Escrow and holding-funds services for offerings on the site are provided by Luminate Bank and Enterprise Bank & Trust, as applicable to the offering. Invown Funding Portal LLC does not hold investor funds.

A few things to keep in mind:

• Reg CF offerings on the site are conducted through Invown Funding Portal LLC, a funding portal registered with the US Securities and Exchange Commission and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA).
• No fees does not mean no risk. Investments on Invown are speculative, illiquid, and involve a high degree of risk, including the possible loss of your entire investment.
• When making an investment decision, rely on your own examination of the issuer and the terms of the offering, and read the offering documents before you invest.

If you have a question about a specific offering’s costs, the place to look is that offering’s documentation, since each issuer is responsible for its own offering materials.
