Let us tell you: Why Platinum investment program?
We respect entrepreneurs and the difficult task they are undertaking. Whether or not you receive funding, we try to provide concrete feedback and are happy to help with insights and advice. We strive to treat entrepreneurs fairly and make your application process a value-added experience. ICONS connects high-quality entrepreneurs and business plans with our investor members. We help our companies with strategic advice, domain expertise, and access to our networks which offers help with recruiting, strategic relationships, and exit planning. We build long-term relationships with entrepreneurs, and many of our members are executives from ICONS-funded companies. We believe that the best relationships lead to win-win outcomes – both for entrepreneurs and our investor members.
Although we cannot guarantee funding for all the applications we receive, we underline that we pose no boundaries for sectors, industry, location, country, value, type of funding or license. The limits for funding are dictated by the project itself, its presentation and its potential. The investment committee coordinates an extensive due diligence activity that provides an insight on the potential success and the feasibility of the projects that require funding. We strive to offer a comprehensive platform of investors that address the needs of the applicants. ICONS success is reliant on the applicants success and the release of funds.
Q: Why do I have to pay the PLATINUM-Funding Subscription Admin Fee?
A: The PLATINUM-Funding subscription admin fee is intended to contribute to admin charges related to the project / funding-request submission and registration. However, it is not the reason for its implementation. Being such an insignificant amount, the main purpose for its introduction is to test the grounds of commitment of the requesting party (The Proponent). In the PLATINUM-Funding-committee view, if the admin fee is creating a barrier for the submission, the assumption is that the project / funding-request is most likely not worth pursuing as The Proponent is not ready to commit for it with pocket change. In this case, it is the PLATINUM-Funding-committee view that the amount of work, time and resources required to evaluate the submitted proposals are better spent with project / funding requests that The Proponents are committed to and have the determination to stand for.
