The platform is open to all investors and comprises a marketplace where primary raises and secondary sellers come together. Republic Europe promises a comprehensive learning center for new investors, showcasing sectors like Travel, Leisure, Sport, Fintech, and featuring tags for European Businesses, Social Impact, Female Founders, CBD, B-Corp, and Sustainability. They emphasize the importance of investing as part of a diversified portfolio, cautioning about the risks involved in early-stage investing, including loss of capital, illiquidity, lack of dividends, and dilution.
