ENTREPRENEUR TERMS: USING OUR ONLINE AND/OR OFFLINE SERVICES

This section applies to companies pitching an online pitch where applications to subscribe for shares are received online and/or have agreed to raise funds through Angels Den offline, ie get direct introductions with Member Investors without uploading their pitch online.

The pitch duration will be fixed by You and, once defined, may not be varied without the prior consent of Angels Den.

Once You complete Your pitch documentation, You commit to the Angels Den Terms, including the Pitch Terms and Conditions, and to keep the round open for the pitch duration selected. During this pitch duration period You agree to:

Provide Angels Den with regular updates on the progress of your funding round, including updates on the amount raised, commercial progress, and expected timeline.

Not permit the company to create or allot or issue any further shares or grant or agree to grant to any person any share option or right to subscribe for, convert into or otherwise to require the issue or allotment of any shares or the creation or allotment or issue of shares during the Pitch Period.

If an investor offers a loan to You during the Pitch Period, You are not obliged to accept. If, however, You accept such an offer it will be included in the target amount raised that is shown on the Platform, and will be liable for a Success Fee.

You will set an investment target which cannot be changed once Your pitch is published on Our Site. If, at the end of the pitch duration, You successfully raise funds, in using this service, You are obliged to: 

Accept all funding offers made in the form of equity and donations, regardless of whether or not You are using the standard Angels Den Investment Agreement (available as part of Our legal suite of documents) or a bespoke shareholder agreement.

Pay the Onboarding Fees and Success Fees set out in the Pitch Terms and Conditions on our Site Pricing, in line with the terms set out therein.

FEES AND CHARGES

Once a pitch application is accepted by the Investment Committee and the Onboarding Approval Notice is sent to You, a contract will be deemed to have been entered into between the Entrepreneur and Angels Den on the terms of the Pitch Terms and Conditions (unless any variation to those terms has been agreed in advance in writing between the Entrepreneur and Angels Den or one of its authorised representatives.)

On-Boarding Fee: Applying to Angels Den Funding is FREE, however, once your pitch has been accepted for fundraising through Angels Den, you will be required to pay an upfront fee of £349 as stated on the Pricing page. If you do not wish to continue with our Services at this point and/or decide to not go ahead with your fundraise through Angels Den, You are still liable to pay Angels Den the Onboarding Fee as stated on the Pricing page.

Success Fee: 8.5% of the total funds raised will be chargeable and payable, by way of Success Fee, on the total amount of all funding raised by the investee company (the “Investment Sum”) as a result of the use of any Angels Den products and/or services (both directly and indirectly, and both online and offline), including membership of the Angels Den Site. 

For the avoidance of doubt the “Investment Sum” shall include, but shall not be restricted to:

Any sum that is raised as a result of the investee company’s use of Angels Den products and/or services (howsoever effected) or from an Angel in Our network, irrespective of the timing of that funding, including current and subsequent rounds.

Any sum including, but not limited to, cash value of equity an Investor Member will receive as sweat equity or against any credits (e.g. Marketing Credits, AWS Credits) or any services or offering that an Investor Member brings to the investee company in kind and not as direct cash;

Any third party investors introduced to the investee company by Member Investors introduced to the investee company via the Angels Den Site and/or Services, howsoever effected, and

Without limitation, any sum of money that is introduced to the investee company or associated company (e.g. a subsidiary or a spinoff company) whether this is in the form of a donation, share issue, business loan or personal loan.

Closing Round: Once a Member Investor pledges/commits an amount in the investee company, the investee company is obligated to accept the cash transfer within 7 days of the pledge. If, for any reason, the investee company delays to accept funds from the Member Investor, the investee company is still liable to pay Angels Den Funding the corresponding success fee on that Investment Sum. If the investee company delays the receipt of funds from the Member Investor and the Member Investor withdraws their pledge on account of this delay, the Investee Company will not be refunded on the success fee paid to Angels Den Funding for this Investment Sum.

The Fees are payable from the date when a Member Investor and/or group of investors transfer investment funds to an entrepreneur's bank account. The Fees will be payable in tranches upon a successful receipt of funds. Angels Den Funding reserves the right to pause/ stop fundraising and Investor introductions to the investee company until all invoices raised are cleared by the Investee company during the period of fundraising through Angels Den Funding.

In the event that the invoiced Success Fee(s) is not paid within 07 business days of the Completion Date, then, in order to cover our increased administrative costs and charges, the Success Fee(s) shall increase from 8.5% to 10% of the Investment Sum and shall be due immediately.

Right of Refusal: Should an Entrepreneur decide to decline any investment from investors introduced by Angels Den Funding, Angels Den Funding will have the right to decide the legitimacy of a reason behind refusal. If there is a genuine ground for refusal, Angels Den Funding's fee Success Fee will decrease to 3.5%. Such a decision will be solely made by Angels Den and You are obligated to comply with the same.

Discontinuation Penalty: Should an Entrepreneur decide to discontinue the fundraise abruptly before the official closing date, a fee of £1600 will be charged.This is also valid for cases where we have made investor introductions and the company has delayed in response to investors or have not communicated in a timely fashion with the Angels Den Team. Angels Den then holds the right to discontinue the fundraise and charge the penalty fee.

Institutional Overlap: In some cases, founders have reached out to VCs and Funds before coming to our platform. If you have an existing relationship with a Fund, you will have to let us know in writing prior to our outreach, the names of funds you would like us to not reach out to. Barring those names, all overlaps will be considered Angels Den introductions and will be liable to the full fee payment, including but not restricted to situations where the Fund reaches out to the founder directly, after having received the deal through us.
