This is it! With just three days left in our crowdfunding campaign, this is the last opportunity for both accredited and non-accredited investors to become owners in Chisos.We have proven that the Convertible Income Share Agreement works for idea stage founders & investors:Our portfolio of founders/companies has grown to 15!The portfolio companies are growing, executing, and raising more capitalWe have sent our first distribution of capital (ISA payments) back to our Fund I investorsFueled by the momentum from this campaign, the future is bright and getting brighter. Here are highlights of what we’ve accomplished:Our investment model has expanded to the UK through a partnership with Horizan VCWe've formed 50+ sourcing partnerships (formal + informal) with accelerators, incubators and other startup ecosystem participantsWe've built a platform with a streamlined application, underwriting and servicing engineWe've hired top-notch talent to enable capital deployment at a much larger scaleWe've built a database of perks for founders, upstream investors, mentors, advisors and service providers to support our portfolio of founders.Finally, we’ve learned so much. Here are a few key takeaways:The time is right for an alternative approach to early stage funding, and the evidence is here: Many founders are foregoing traditional funding like VC and bank loans, leaving an opening for alternative financing.Gen. Z is set to fuel an entrepreneurial boom, so our TAM is big and getting bigger. Momentum for structural changes to improve diversity, equity, and inclusion in the startup landscape continues to build.Although we've accomplished quite a bit, challenges remain. Our investment pace has been slower than we hoped. Institutional Investors want to see a track record, and track records take time to build. In addition, it is very clear that entrenched industries, ways of thinking and status quo all take time to change. Our model is working, so I know we’ll get there. Chisos is changing the way individuals can raise money at the earliest stages. Through time and education we believe strongly in our mission and goals to enable individuals to pursue their entrepreneurial goals.Don’t wait, or regret, that you missed this chance to help change the status quo - make your investment today!Thank you all so much!-Will
