Why Placement Fees Corrupt Everything

This is a placeholder blog post. Real content will come from Sanity CMS.

When platforms charge 3-8% to connect investors with sponsors, their incentives shift from quality to volume. This fundamental misalignment creates a race to the bottom that hurts everyone involved.

The Problem

Traditional platforms need transaction volume to survive. On a $10M raise, a 6% placement fee is $600,000--money that should strengthen the deal, not enrich the middleman.

This creates perverse incentives:

• Quality sponsors avoid platforms that dilute their economics
• Platforms push deals to hit revenue targets
• Investors get marketed to on mediocre opportunities
• The ecosystem optimizes for fees, not outcomes

Our Solution

We eliminate placement fees entirely. This fundamental shift realigns incentives around quality, not volume.
