The Inovexus Circle is our by-invitation membership programme for Business Angels and operators who want more than passive deal flow. As a Circle partner, you hold an indirect equity stake in Inovexus via a dedicated SPV, gain early access to every deal we screen, and join a community of exited founders, Big Tech executives, and senior operators who actively back and build the next generation of B2B tech companies. It is early-stage investing — curated, community-powered, and AI-assisted.
Free community members on the platform receive AI-matched deal introductions based on their investor questionnaire — a curated selection, not the full pipeline. Circle partners have access to every deal we put through our investment committee, with early access before the wider community sees it, plus the carry discount structure, the AI pitch deck scoring tool, and the equity participation in Inovexus itself through the SPV. The Circle is the committed-investor tier — you are not just browsing deals, you are co-owners of the platform generating them.
Your €10K investment enters the Inovexus SPV, which holds an indirect equity stake in Inovexus SAS — the holding company. This is not a fund unit; it is real equity in the business you are investing alongside. The SPV structure means your shareholding is held at the vehicle level rather than appearing directly on the Inovexus cap table (that is reserved for Diamond partners at €100K+), but the underlying asset is the same: equity in Inovexus, with exposure to its carry distributions and long-term exits.
None of those precisely. Inovexus is a community-powered venture engine. The Circle is closer to a co-investment membership with platform equity. You invest deal-by-deal — there is no blind-pool fund and no mandatory capital calls after your initial commitment. Unlike a traditional syndicate, you also hold equity in Inovexus itself, so you participate in the carry and exits generated across the entire platform, not just the individual deals you choose to back. The closest analogy is an angel network with equity skin in the game.
Submit your application through the platform. We review every profile personally — this is an invitation-based programme and we assess fit before granting access. If there is a match, you will hear from us within 48 hours to set up a short call with the team.
Over 2,500 members across 20 countries. Exited founders. Big Tech executives. Senior operators from listed and private companies. Experienced angels. The kind of people you would want around the table — because they are already sitting at it.
Clicking Invest Now initiates your SPV onboarding via Roundtable, our regulated compliance partner who handles all KYC and investor verification. You will be guided through identity checks, investor accreditation confirmation, and the SPV subscription documents. Once completed and cleared, your €10K is deployed into the Inovexus SPV, your platform profile is upgraded to Circle status, and your full benefit package — early deal access, AI tools, carry discount, and badge — is activated immediately.
Standard European consumer protection provisions apply. The formal terms governing any cooling-off period are contained in your SPV subscription documentation, which your dedicated contact can walk you through before you sign. We recommend reading the shareholder agreement carefully; our team is available for a call to answer any questions before you proceed.
Lead Mentor status is the premium tier of mentorship, reserved for Diamond partners (€100K). Lead Mentors are featured on the platform, have priority matching to portfolio founders, and take a formal advisory role in the companies they support. For Circle partners at the €10K level, mentoring access is available — you can be matched to founders — but the lead designation and profile visibility are Diamond-exclusive, to preserve the quality signal for founders seeking that level of commitment.
Entirely optional. Mentoring is an opt-in activity, not an obligation attached to your Circle membership. Our matching system will surface relevant mentoring opportunities based on your profile and sector expertise. You engage when and where it makes sense for you. Many Circle partners find it is one of the most rewarding aspects of membership — others prefer to stay purely on the investment side. Both approaches are welcome.
The time commitment is entirely self-determined. Our AI matching engine — Match AI — pairs you to founders based on sector overlap, your stated availability, and the founder’s specific need at that stage. A typical mentoring engagement begins with a single introductory session; everything beyond that is agreed bilaterally between you and the founder. There is no minimum hours requirement. You remain in control of how deep the relationship goes.
Every deal has passed through a multi-stage selection process before it reaches you:
– Our AI sourcing system processes hundreds of inbound and outbound prospects weekly, scoring each on both intrinsic startup quality (unicorn probability modelling) and community match (investor interest alignment via Match AI)
– Only deals scoring above a 70% community feasibility threshold proceed to committee review
– Our Investment Committee evaluates revenue traction, valuation multiple, team quality, mentor pool confidence, and deal terms before any deal is presented
– An acceleration confidence rating (typically 8.0+ out of 10) is assigned; deals below threshold are deferred or declined
You receive the IC-approved deal memo. The decision to invest remains entirely yours.
Curation at Inovexus is a human-plus-AI process. Our Sourcing AI agents handle the front-end screening — identifying, scoring, and filtering prospects across inbound applications and proactive outreach. The output feeds a human investment committee that makes the final selection call. Curation means a deal has cleared a systematic quality bar, been stress-tested by experienced operators, and been co-led by or validated alongside top-tier institutional funds where possible. We do not present every application that comes through the door — we present the ones that passed.
Currently we run at approximately one curated deal per week. Our target by 2028 is to scale to one deal per day as the sourcing infrastructure matures. Circle partners see every IC-approved deal with one day of early access before it is shown to the broader free community. Deal frequency will increase as our AI pipeline scales — you will always have full visibility of what is available without needing to actively hunt.
Carry — or carried interest — is the share of investment profits that goes to the platform operator. In standard VC and angel syndicate structures, this is typically 20% of gains above your invested capital. At Inovexus, the standard carry on deals is 20%.
As a Circle partner, you benefit in two ways:
Carry discount You pay 18% carry instead of 20% — a 10% discount on every deal you participate in
Carry sharing If you introduce a deal that we invest in, you receive 1% of Inovexus’s carry on that deal
Beyond individual deals, your SPV equity in Inovexus gives you exposure to carry distributions across the entire platform including deals you did not personally invest in. As the platform grows and exits accumulate, SPV holders participate in that upside.
Your stake is held through the Inovexus SPV — a dedicated special purpose vehicle structured to aggregate Circle partner investments. The SPV holds an equity position in Inovexus SAS, the French holding company. You receive a subscription agreement and confirmation of your SPV units as part of the onboarding process managed by Roundtable, our regulated compliance partner. All KYC and investor verification is handled through Roundtable.
Not directly. As a Circle partner (€10K), you hold indirect equity via the SPV — which means you benefit from value growth and carry distributions, but your voting rights flow through the SPV structure rather than sitting directly on the Inovexus cap table. Direct cap table shareholding is reserved for Diamond partners at €100K, who appear individually as shareholders in Inovexus SAS. The economic exposure is comparable; the governance rights differ.
The Inovexus SPV is governed under French law (Inovexus SAS is a French entity). European and UK investors participate without restriction. For investors based in Asia (Japan, Korea, Singapore), deal-level investments may require a Delaware C-corp structure depending on the target company. All regulatory compliance — including investor accreditation and KYC — is managed through Roundtable, which operates under applicable financial services regulations. Full terms are provided in your SPV subscription documentation prior to commitment.
Inovexus has been operating since 2023 and has now backed 37+ portfolio companies across four cohorts. The portfolio spans pre-seed and seed-stage B2B tech companies including names such as Deep Planet, Beev, Leadbay, Luniwave, Talonic, and Another Earth, among others. The platform currently has over 2,500 active investors across 27 countries, a mentors network of 400+, and has deployed capital into companies that have gone on to raise with institutional co-investors. Detailed portfolio performance data is available on request.
Our community includes exited founders, Big Tech executives, senior operators from listed and private companies, and experienced Business Angels from across Europe and globally. Portfolio companies have been co-invested alongside institutional names including Y Combinator-backed companies, and Index Ventures-backed rounds. The identity of specific community members is shared during onboarding discussions in line with privacy commitments.
Each deal memo includes a designated contact on the Investor Relations team. For Circle partners, the platform also provides a direct channel to the team. If you would prefer a live conversation before committing to a deal, a 10-minute call with a member of the IR team can be booked directly from the deal page. No question is too basic — understanding what you are investing in is the whole point.
Yes, community is not incidental to the Circle, it is core to it. Circle partners participate in the Inovexus platform (live on iOS and Android), which hosts ongoing interaction between investors, founders, and mentors. We run regular in-person events — including our quarterly Pitches & Cocktails format — where Circle members, portfolio founders, and the broader community convene. You will not only see deal flow between events; you will be connected to a network that is actively building companies together.
Circle is where they meet.
