Questions?
Not at all. Many of our members are first-time investors.
For every deal, the Akka investment team provides detailed analysis to support your decision-making. You'll also have access to live pitches with founders, a member chat, and online training through Akkademy, plus exclusive events and webinars to help you learn.
Akka's investment team screens over 5,000 companies annually across Europe and the US. After rigorous due diligence covering financials, teams, and markets, only about 15 startups make the cut. These range from bold early-stage bets to late-stage unicorns.
Venture capital as an asset class has historically returned 20-30% annually (Cambridge Associates, 1980-2024). Our own portfolio grew 33% in 2025, compared to 17% for the S&P 500. While this demonstrates the potential of startup investing, past performance does not guarantee future results.
Returns vary widely—some startups may return 20x or more, while others might fail completely. The industry average is around 2.4x. Diversifying across 15-30 startups is essential to capture the portfolio effect that delivers strong returns.
Only invest capital you can afford to lose and won't need for 7-10 years.
Startup investments are highly illiquid with typical holding periods of 5-10 years until an exit event (acquisition, IPO, or secondary sale). This isn't day trading—it's long-term wealth building. We're developing a secondary marketplace for members, but liquidity is never guaranteed.
Startup investing involves significant risks:
- Illiquidity: 5-10 year holding periods with no guaranteed exit
- Potential total loss: Some startups will fail completely
- Dilution: Your stake may be reduced in future rounds (though we provide anti-dilution protection)
- Market risk: Valuations can fluctuate significantly
That's why diversification is critical—we recommend building a portfolio of at least 15-30 startups over time. Our fund-level protections (anti-dilution, liquidation preference) reduce but don't eliminate these risks. Only invest what you can afford to lose completely.
No. We present 1-2 exclusive opportunities per month, and you choose which align with your interests and strategy. There's zero obligation to invest in any deal. Your membership grants access—what you do with it is entirely up to you.
Three key differences:
1. Higher quality deals – We handpick 15 deals/year from 5,000 reviewed (0,3% selection rate)
2. Fund-level protections – Anti-dilution, liquidation preference, pro-rata rights that solo investors never get.
3. Exclusive access – Portfolio includes pre-IPO unicorns like Anthropic, OpenAI, Revolut that aren't available elsewhere.
Plus: You choose your deals (no blind pools), lower minimum (from €300), direct access to founders, and a community of 2,500+ investors.
All memberships include a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you're not satisfied with the platform, deal quality, or community within your first 30 days, we'll refund your membership fee in full—no questions asked. Note: This applies to membership fees only, not invested capital, which is locked in the startups you've chosen to back.
