Users select from four role-based profile types (Entrepreneur, Expert Partner, Intermediary, Advertiser), create public listings, and connect via direct messaging supported by a live analytics dashboard. The platform also curates a global fund directory of 400+ VC and PE investors organized by sector, alongside an educational knowledge base, glossary, and help center targeting Dutch-language search traffic.

The technology stack is a standard web-based SaaS application with role-based access, profile management, direct chat, and tag-based matching, with no disclosed API, SDK, or mobile app. Proprietary features include smart matching, live analytics, and multi-role portfolio management for intermediaries.

Monetization spans three streams: (1) one-time placement packages for entrepreneurs (Basic €349, Promotie €699, Pro €999) and a 2.5% success-fee commission alternative; (2) recurring subscriptions for Expert Partners (€299-€499/year) and Intermediaries (€69-€129/month); and (3) advertising (€250 newsletter placements, €300 sponsored articles, €400/month homepage banners). Distribution is fully digital and product-led with no field sales, supported by content marketing, SEO, and newsletter channels.
