Company Description
Welcome to Darksquare, we’re looking to open up the world of alternative investments to individuals.
Right now, unless you’re incredibly wealthy, you’re mostly limited to investing in equities, ETFs and cryptocurrencies. But there’s a multi-trillion dollar world of other asset classes out there that are, at present, mostly inaccessible to individuals.
Ranging from assets such as distressed/special situations credit, to large ticket real estate items like forests/timberland, private islands, to wind and solar farms, carbon capture projects and many more.
We believe that individuals are more capable and more willing than ever to make their own investment decisions, so we’re not an investment advice or an investment management platform; instead we’re using crowdfunding to overcome minimum investment thresholds and open up these products to a wider market. Allowing customers to not only generate potential returns, but crucially, better diversify their investment portfolios.
Monetisation strategy
We will look to charge fees on the money invested via our site. Our plan is to charge 1% upfront and then 1% annually as a management fee.
Rather than charging cash management fees, we plan to take 1% ownership of the asset every year, aligning our incentives with those of our customers. This means if an investment product performs well, we get paid more. This also ensures we only list quality, well researched investments on our site.
In the future, we plan to launch a secondary market functionality where users can buy into or sell out of previously funded investments. Once established, we would look to charge trading fees on these transfers to generate additional revenue.
We will not sell user data or advertise on our site, we think it's important that the user experince is as seamless as possible.
Finally, we'll also plan to generate a small amount of revenue from bid/offer spreads on the investments we list. For example, we might buy a stake in a wind farm for £495k and list it for £500k.
