How do ordinary people invest in early-stage companies?

Ordinary people now invest in early-stage companies through online platforms that offer fractional ownership. On Savvy Mango you can start from £25, owning a real proportional share, with money released to each company only as it proves progress.

The old way vs now

Early-stage investing used to require wealth and contacts. Fractional platforms changed that, letting anyone back companies with small amounts.

How the money flows

You buy units representing a stake. On Savvy Mango, the company receives funds in stages as it proves milestones, checked against invoices.

Managing the risk

Most startups fail, so spreading small amounts matters. Holdings are not always locked until a company exits. Through Savvy Mango's private secondary market you can request to sell early, subject to a willing buyer.
