OceUp

Everything you need to know to navigate and make the most of OceUp — whether you're a founder or an investor.

What is OceUp?

OceUp is a marketplace platform that connects innovative StartUps with forward-thinking investors. We help founders structure and present their companies while enabling investors to explore and invest with transparency and efficiency.

For StartUps

We understand the challenges that early-stage StartUps face when trying to raise funds. OceUp is designed to solve them — simply, securely and professionally.

• Easily organise your company information across key areas: basic details, product, team, financials, and more. Your profile is built to make sense to investors — and to help you think like one.

• Keep Full Control. Your StartUp profile is private by default. Nothing is shared with investors unless you decide to do so. You're in control of what to show, when to show it, and to whom.

• Raise Funds on your Own Terms. Whether through Crowdfunding or a Restricted Round, you can customise your fundraising approach and choose from investment instruments like SAFE, Equity, or Convertible Note.

• Direct Communication. Receive interest, review requests, and engage in private chats with potential investors. You decide who to talk to and what documents they can access.

• Easy Document Sharing. Upload your Pitch Deck, Team Chart, and Financials. Investors can request access, and you decide if and when to grant it.

• Secure Transactions. All investment agreements go through escrow with security checks before funds are transferred. Safety and professionalism at every step.

• Stay Focused. Raise capital without noise or spam. Stop focusing on outreach or searching for Business Angels. Focus on what really matters.

For Investors

Investing in early-stage companies requires trust, clarity, and access to the right information. OceUp is built to provide all three — while keeping your experience seamless and secure.

• Full visiblity, on your terms. Browse a wide range of StartUps that have chosen to make their profiles public. Filter by what matters to you, and only show your interest when you’re ready.

• Unique Opportunities. Reach StartUps from all over the world. Access opportunities beyond your network and without having to wait for a pitch or an email

• Stay private. Your Investor Profile is completely private. StartUps don’t know who you are or what you’ve viewed unless you actively show interest.

• Request access to what matters. Found a promising company? Request access to their Pitch Deck, Financials, Team Chart, or open a Private Chat directly with the founder. They decide — you stay in control of your pipeline.

• Have real conversations. Once accepted, you can talk directly with the founding team. No intermediaries, no fluff — just transparent, professional dialogue.

• Escrow-protected Transactions. All funds are handled via secure escrow, released only after agreement and approval. Invest with peace of mind.

• Build your own dealflow. Save companies, manage requests, and revisit conversations. OceUp helps you stay organised and move at your own pace.

• Quality over quantity. No spam, no noise. Only StartUps that meet your interests and criteria.

🤝 Built for a new generation of fundraising

OceUp isn’t just another funding platform — it’s a space for thoughtful investment, respectful collaboration, and scalable innovation.
