The Network Effect

Ask any venture capital investor about the key element to their success and you’ll hear one answer again and again – your network.

That’s why the most powerful thing we can give you here at Republic is access to our network of deal markers and top experts.

Next week, we’re going to be opening up that network to a select group of our most engaged investors in an unprecedented way.  

Each day, we will be releasing a special briefing on one of the critical fields attracting venture capital right now.

We’re calling this series The Network Effect. 

In these briefings, our experts trade notes with top minds in the field on where the money is heading in that sector and where the emerging breakthroughs are most likely to be found.

Here's what's in store: 

It’s all designed to help you map out your venture investing strategy for the second half of 2024.

Of course, every one of these deal makers will remind you of one thing.  Growth stage investing is high risk and can lead to total loss of your investment. Most startups don’t make it. It’s for your speculative capital only.  

Now these briefings are designed to give you a taste of a special new initiative we’ve created. 

Right now, rates of innovation are paralleling the breakthroughs we saw when the early days of home internet access gave us companies like Google (1,279x), Alibaba (1,675x), and Facebook (1,040x).

And when the smartphone opened the doors for the mobile application cycle with companies like Uber (125x), WhatsApp (545x), and Airbnb (603x) leading the way.

This is the first time everyday investors are in position to take advantage of the returns potential only an innovation cycle can bring.

That’s why we’re making this series of special briefings available next week. And it’s why we are creating the Republic Investor Network.  

With this new initiative, the full power of Republic will be behind you, seeking the next deal that adds to Republic’s tally of backing 31 companies whose valuations reached $1 billion.

You are now just moments away from securing a Charter Membership.

Top deal makers will deliver special briefings each month

These Growth Accelerator briefings, like you'll experience next week, will come from the deal makers behind the top valuation gains in Republic’s history and top experts in their fields.  Some months, there will be one briefing.  Some months there will be two or more.  They are designed to quickly get you up to speed on the most active fields in venture capital.

And you want to leave no page unturned before you decide whether or not to invest. The very heart of this Network is providing you with all the information and knowledge we can.

Republic’s network of dealmakers brings you special deals you won’t find anywhere else

Building a portfolio is essential.  You will see 8 to 10 new deals per month. This will provide you with the deal flow you need to build a portfolio based on your priorities. 

Every deal will have been vetted at three levels. The business model will have been verified to ensure there’s product-market fit and significant traction. The financial figures will have been assessed for growth potential and the legal review will ensure all the elements are in-line.

The standards to pass these checks are high. Less than 5% of startups seeking funding make the cut.

Remember, these are high risk investments that follow the principle of Power Law where 10% of your investments drive returns for your entire portfolio. You should not take the first investment decision lightly and should never invest more than you’re prepared to lose.

Founders will make their pitches directly to you

They will share their company mission, the real world problem they’re working on, the way their product solves that problem, the size of the market they’re pursuing, and the growth they’re targeting.

There will also be opportunities to engage in special Q&A sessions where you can ask the founders directly about the business and their plans. This kind of in-depth access at this level is unprecedented.

You’re also going to see all the details on this raise – background on key team members and their expertise, the marketing plans, the roadmap to profits, the minimum amount to invest, and the perks you get as an investor.

It’s the information you need to help decide if a company is worth your money.

You will be able to invest in these companies for $500 or less

For years, investing in innovative, young companies in the private markets typically cost $100,000, $250,000, $500,000 or more just to get started.

With help from Republic, everyday investors are now able to back these companies for just $100, $250, or $500.

You will benefit from the best deal terms in the market

Unlike other private market platforms who may charge 2%, 3%, or even 5%, there are no fees for members on investments made through the Republic Investor Network.

And thanks to the special category of investments being featured, there is no carried interest.

Every dollar you put in goes directly to your investment in the startup, and every dollar of profit on any successful exit is yours to keep.

You will receive 5% off the first investment within your first 60 days of membership

Every smart growth stage investor builds a portfolio. And we want to help you get started with the 5% Edge.

On your first investment within your first 60 days as a member of the Republic Investor Network, you’ll receive 5% off. This 5% also applies all the way up to $10,000 worth of shares.

It’s a huge advantage with the potential to boost your returns.

The knowledge you need for success

You’ll notice every successful investor creates their own style of evaluating deals and builds their own portfolio of investments in multiple companies. We want you to do the same.

It’s why we are sharing our Private Markets Boot Camp. You'll discover Republic's most valuable lessons from identifying 31 companies whose valuations reached $1 billion or more.

How to break down a deal. How to track a company’s progress. How to build a balanced portfolio. Even how to handle the windfall that could come your way with a successful exit.

You will be eligible to take part in a special profit sharing pool

It’s something we’re developing around Republic Note.

Republic Note is a way for everyday investors to share in the upside of an entire portfolio of deals from Republic. 

Republic receives shares of the companies that raise on our platform.  When there’s a successful exit from that company, a portion of that money goes into a special profit-sharing pool.  And every time that profit pool hits $2M, the cash is paid out to Note holders like a dividend. 

That includes deals from across the company including stakes in leading names in Startup Finance, Trading, Entertainment, Space, and more.  …

And to be clear, the profits in this pool come from deals done by Republic since we started seven years ago.

A program that allows you to earn Notes from just about everything you do at Republic – exploring deals, attending Founder Pitches, referring friends, commenting in the Deal Discussion Forums, and more – is currently in development. Investor Network members will be the first to take part.

Now it’s your turn

The goal of next week’s Special Briefings series is to get you set up for success in the balance of 2024 and beyond.  The same is true for the entire Republic Investor Network membership.  

For anyone interested in these young companies, the time is now. History shows the best investments are often made in periods of rapid innovation.  We believe one of those cycles is happening right now and the greatest potential will come from investments made within the next two to three years.

Access to venture capital firms typically requires an investment of $100,000 or much more to participate in a fund.

With the Republic Investor Network, you receive pre-vetted deals plus insight from Republic’s top deal makers. And you can make those investments for $500 or less.

To help you get started, your first investment within the first 60 days of membership will be at a special 5% discount. Plus, as a Member, your investments come without the fees typically charged by private market platforms or venture capital funds.

You get all this, including Growth Accelerator Briefing sessions and the Private Markets Boot Camp, for the special Charter Member price of just $249 per year. 

The Briefing sessions alone, where you’ll hear directly from Republic’s top deal makers, are more than worth the price. Plus, you can easily offset the cost of membership with the savings on administrative fees, the share price savings with the 5% Edge, and the dividends you can earn from Republic Note.  

It’s a tremendous value when you consider the deals, the founder access, the knowledge, and the connections available only through the Republic Investor Network.

Here at Republic, we’ve been trusted to deploy $2.6 billion in capital

Now we want you to become part of our family.

I suggest you move quickly to secure your Charter Membership. Our series of special briefings is available only to the Republic Investor Network.  You’ll need to be a member on Monday May 13 at Noon EDT to take part.

We want you to have the feeling of excitement when one of your startups hits it big.
