Investment Process
(~3-5 weeks)
Asynchronous
Screen
The Startup Review Committee (SRC) will review the pitch deck to determine if it is a fit for XA Network
Member Interest Check
A mailer will be sent to our members with introductory materials about the investment opportunity. A minimum number of interested members is needed for the startup to move forward in the process
SRC Call
One SRC member meets the founder(s) in a meeting for an in-depth discussion about the startup. This video is recorded for members to view as additional materials for them to decide
Founder Ask Me Anything (AMA)
Members will meet the startup via video conference. The members receiving information about the startups may be ringfenced if there are sensitivities around speaking to individuals from direct competitors
Commitments and Lead Identification
The members will indicate their commitments and identify a lead who will be the main point of contact between the founder(s) and XA moving forward
Finalization of member interest
The lead will negotiate and finalize the terms with the founder and obtain the necessary documentation and wiring details. If needed, the XA Lead may coordinate follow-up diligence (e.g., background checks) on behalf of the other members
Closing
The lead ensures that all XA members investing have signed the terms and wired the funds
Welcome to the XA Network community! All founders who are funded by XA members enjoy access to the entire XA Network community. They will liaise with their XA lead to set up those conversations.
