When a single portal can pivot away from crowdfunding overnight, the lesson is not to depend on any one platform. Netcapital lists you to browsers when it is active; Angels Partners lets you proactively reach anchor investors directly, on your own timeline, no matter which portal you choose. That direct, targeted list of anchor investors is exactly what the investor database is for.
A Netcapital campaign converts when a serious investor has already committed. Angels Partners is where you line up those anchor angels, reuse every asset, and turn public momentum into a closed round.
Target the specific angels most likely to back a public raise in your sector, reach them from your own inbox, and secure the day-one commitments that make a Netcapital campaign credible.
The deck, financial model and video you build for Netcapital are the same assets angels expect. Build them once and run the public campaign and the private raise from one AI fundraising CRM, not a spreadsheet.
After the campaign, convert engaged backers and near-misses into a follow-on angel round, and keep every investor relationship long after your Netcapital raise closes.
Line up the angels who commit first, reuse every campaign asset, and run the whole raise from one pipeline. That is how a raise closes even when a platform changes course.

Netcapital the company is still operating and is listed on Nasdaq as NCPL, but in May 2026 it announced a strategic shift away from online securities crowdfunding toward AI and data infrastructure, and its public company directory currently shows no active offerings. Weigh that before relying on it to run a raise.
Historically, Netcapital charged about a 4.9 percent portal success fee on the capital raised, plus an equity fee taken in shares. Given the platform's 2026 strategic shift, confirm current terms directly before relying on any figure.
Historically it was seen as a lower-profile, less crowded US Reg CF option with a public company directory. The bigger story now is its 2026 pivot away from securities crowdfunding, which is why many founders are focusing on a platform-independent fundraising strategy.
Rather than depend on any single portal, build direct relationships with anchor investors. Angels Partners gives you a 120,000+ investor database, outreach from your own inbox and an AI CRM, so your raise does not hinge on one platform's roadmap.
