Getting listed on ElevateVia

What the platform asks for, in the order it asks for it, and exactly what makes a profile go live. There are two routes through — one for founders raising capital, one for investors deploying it.

If you are raising — a Creator

1. Create your account. Choose Creator on the sign-up page. You need a name, an email address and a password.
2. Verify your email. We send a code to that address and you enter it once. Until this is done the rest of the platform stays closed, and your profile cannot be listed. A code is also emailed each time you sign in.
3. Choose a membership. Listing and matching run on a paid membership. You can see the plans on the pricing page.
4. Fill in your Funding Zone. This is the profile investors read. Three fields decide whether you appear publicly at all:
   • a company name — the placeholder "My Company" does not count
   • a sector
   • a raise target above zero
   Stage, location, instrument, equity offered and your one-line pitch are read alongside them.
5. Upload your documents. Incorporation proof, financials, cap table and the rest build your Confidence Score, which measures how much of what you have stated has been independently verified. It is a measure of evidence, not a view on the opportunity. You can list without documents; your score simply stays low.
6. Add a logo and cover image. Optional. Both appear on your card in Discover and on the public home page.

If you are investing — an Elevator

1. Create your account. Choose Elevator at sign-up.
2. Verify your email, the same way.
3. Choose a membership on the pricing page.
4. Save your Investment Thesis. Your firm or name, investor type, where you are based, the sectors and stages you invest in, and your ticket range. Saving the thesis is what makes you discoverable — until then founders cannot find you, because the platform has nothing to match on.
5. Add a logo and cover image. Optional, same as above.

What happens after you are listed

1. Interest is expressed. An investor can express interest in a company, or a founder can invite an investor. Either way it is one side reaching out.
2. Both sides accept. An invitation only becomes a connection when the other party accepts it. The side that started it cannot accept on the other's behalf.
3. A data room opens. Accepting opens a private room for the two of you, with a due-diligence checklist and a message thread.
4. Both sign the NDA. Documents stay sealed until both parties have signed. Before that, neither side can download the other's files — the platform enforces this, it is not a matter of trust.
5. Diligence runs in the room. Everything shared stays inside it.

ElevateVia verifies and introduces. It does not rank members, advise either side, or take part in the transaction.
