Slated is designed to protect investors first; the reasons for this are simple. By protecting all investors, we free up our accredited investor base to invest in projects with less worry.
Our opportunity matching system automatically matches your project page with any Slated members who match your page's opportunities, including accredited investors. Once your project page is activated, you'll be able to message anyone any of your matches.
To match with accredited investors on Slated, there are two steps:
Active Marketplace Access for your project
Create a Financing Opportunity to match with investors
Activating your project for Marketplace Access is pretty straightforward. Just click ACTIVATE in the top-right hand side of the screen and follow the prompts to checkout.
For a step-by-step guide, see this article.
Once your page is active, create a Financing Opportunity on the Opportunity tab of your project profile to be automatically matched with investors.
Add as much detail as you can to both the Opportunity and your project profile to increase your chances of being automatically matched to appropriate investors. If you don't get a lot of matches, try loosening the requirements within the Opportunity.
You'll immediately be able to see how many matches your project's opportunity has on the platform.
If you'd like to increase your number of matches, consider getting Script and/or Financial Analysis for your project. Most investors prefer vetted projects, so most investors have set their preferences to match with Script Scores over 70. Analysis can increase your number of matches by up to 10X.
Once your page is activated, you'll be able to directly message your matches.
They need to respond expressing interest in order for the conversation to continue.
For best practices on writing effective queries to your matches, see this article.
Please remember that aggressive tracking and soliciting Slated investors via their other social networks are against our community guidelines.
