Would you invest in private company funding rounds if you had the opportunity?
Get Access has launched a platform that pools capital from individual investors to participate in private company funding rounds, specifically targeting Series B and later stages. The company generated $1 million in revenue within five days of its launch.
Why it matters
This model democratizes access to late-stage private equity deals that have historically been restricted to venture capital firms and large institutional investors. It shifts the barrier to entry from traditional wealth thresholds toward industry experience and networking value.
Get Access raised $5 million at an $85 million post-money valuation, while participants are subject to a 10% fee on investment profits. The platform has already participated in a $3.9 billion funding round for Crusoe.

The Tech Race
Get Access seeks to disrupt the long-standing model of venture capital exclusivity governed by the JOBS Act's accredited investor requirements. It follows a trend of platforms aiming to commoditize access to private equity, positioning itself against traditional institutional investment cycles.
Prospective members must leverage their professional experience or industry connections to bypass standard management fees for private deals. While the platform has launched, accessibility to specific future deals remains at the discretion of the firm.
The takeaway
The firm is creating a new pathway for non-institutional capital to enter late-stage funding, effectively lowering the entry barrier for those with deep industry networks. Observers should track upcoming deal flow and the firm's ability to maintain revenue growth without charging management fees.
