Operations in the Platform

For these purposes, the investment may materialize in two principal forms: Direct Investment or Digital Investment Rounds (DIR)
- Direct Investment: Through the platform, registered investors can directly contact the Companies of its interest. For these purposes, each Company profile will have basic information about its business. In any case, Investors may access more information about a particular Company, obtaining the Zissmo Report of that Company (this one has to upload enough information to create this report). The Zissmo Report will contain detailed information from both Company and its Founders and team, information that may or may not be validated by third-party providers. These, which validated that information, may or may not be validated providers by the Platform. This validation will depend on the particular case.Depending on the type of registered investor, there is a certain number of downloaded Zissmo Reports from the platform, with no additional cost to the Registered Investor.
It should be noted that registered Companies in the Zissmo Platform, and in compliance with these Terms and Conditions, agree that the shares given to the Investors, as a result of materialized capital raisings or negotiations in Zissmo.com, will be freely transferable among all the registered investors of the Platform, whatever the country of residence of the registered Investor.

- Digital Investment Rounds: The DIRs are investment processes that will periodically take place on the Zissmo Platform. These processes will take place in a specific module inside the Platform. The aim of this plan is giving the opportunity to Registered Investors to participate in capital raising processes of a precise number of Companies in a specified period.The investment regulation in the Companies of the platform is a fundamental base for Zissmo. That is why our vision focuses on the possibility of generating a particular global-level market for Companies, based on technology that allows safe transactions and with a specific and private regulation that grants confidence to all the involved statements and authorities of each country, regarding the legality of the transactions and compliance with the legal provisions that may be applicable in each country.
Accredited Investors
