Raising for your company
Run your raise on Deal Box. One link carries your story, your deck, your terms and the papers investors sign.
Nobody stands between you and the company.
On most platforms you buy into a fund that holds the shares, and the fund takes a fee. Here you sign with the company, and the investment is yours.
- Their wordsEach offering page is written by the company. Its founder's contact is on it, and you can write to them.
- Their documentsYou sign the company's own subscription agreement, inside the portal, on any device.
- Their accountYour wire goes to the company. Deal Box never holds your money and takes nothing from it.
Deal Box is not a broker-dealer. It does not recommend investments, negotiate terms or handle investor funds.

- Free, and open to anyoneThere is no account to create and no call to book before you start.
- Built on practiceThomas Carter has prepared companies for private offerings since 2000. He teaches how to read a deal, and never which one to choose.

Start the courseEvery company prepares the same way.
Each company on this board completed Investment Packaging before it listed. Its records sit in one data room, its financial model is built, and its offering documents were prepared with its own lawyer.
- One order, every timeTwelve sections, A through L. Read one company's data room and you can read them all.
- The company's own recordsHow it is formed, who owns what, its financial statements, its contracts and the offering documents.
- Open after one signatureSign the company's confidentiality agreement. When the company signs it back, the room opens to you.
Packaging is preparation by the company. It is not a rating or a recommendation, and it does not reduce the risks of private investing.
Always know where your deal stands.
Five steps take an investment from first look to funded. One screen shows which step you are on, and the one thing that needs you next.
- Signed where you readThe confidentiality agreement and the subscription documents are signed inside the portal.
- Kept on fileEvery document you sign stays in your account, beside the deal it belongs to.
- Wired to the companyWire details come from the company's own documents. Deal Box will never ask you to send it money.
What investors ask us first.
Read every company's offering documents and the general risk factors before you invest.
