In this segment, Blake Janover (or a platform representative) explains the core business model of his private‑money investment platform. The platform does not charge success fees; instead, it requires a subscription/listing fee from syndicators to post deals. The service is highly selective, admitting only top‑tier syndicators with high‑quality, large‑scale deals, positioning itself as a premium marketplace akin to Sotheby’s or Christie’s rather than a generic crowdfunding site. It contrasts this approach with agnostic platforms like WeFunder, Republic, and StartEngine, emphasizing that its deals typically range from $2 million to $50 million, targeting sophisticated investors seeking sizable private‑money opportunities.

We don't take success fees. We just take a subscription to list on the platform. We're incredibly choosy. So far, it's been like the highest caliber syndicators with deals that pencil and look great. But we think about it like we're Sotheby's or Christie's, right? In that we don't take a success fee, but it's like it's the premium content. It's not a crowdfunding platform like some of these wonderful services like WeFunder or Republic or StartEngine or what have you, where they're kind of like agnostic as to the product. It looks like most of the checks on the platform, like the average deal size is kind of like that they're raising is kind of like $2 to $50 million.
