Seeking investment can be brutal

After months of negotiation you're usually left with a bunch of legal fees and no deal.

If you're really lucky and your deal closes, your bank balance gets a whole lot bigger — then you get to watch the newcomers wreck the business you spent years building.

We started pōrtfolio to become the investor we wish we could have sold to. That means fair, fast, and founder-friendly deals.
