Get Access is a new startup that aims to help wealthy individuals invest in later-stage tech companies, which are often only open to big venture capital firms. The company was recently valued at $85 million after raising $5 million in funding, with support from notable investors like Guy Oseary, who also manages famous celebrities. The platform allows individual investors to pool their money together to invest in private companies that are raising large amounts of money, like Crusoe, which recently had a $3.9 billion funding round. Get Access wants to make it easier for well-connected professionals to get involved in these investment opportunities, especially since many startups are staying private for longer periods and reaching very high valuations before going public. Members of Get Access need to offer more than just money; they should bring valuable experience or connections to help the startups succeed. The company makes money through membership fees and takes a percentage of profits from investments. Overall, Get Access is part of a trend to open up private tech investments to a wider range of investors who previously had limited access.
