We believe through marketplace these founders and investors, we must keep the quality of the entity as pure as possible. So for now, we'll be curating both sides: investors and founders doing the fundraising. Details for applying as founders and investors are on the website.

We also believe that now is the momentum for DSConnect. We see rapid growth in managed funds as well as expansion of the venture capital investment hypothesis. In addition, there is a trend among the founders, entrepreneur series, and startup leaders who are also angel investors to participate in the investment round for early-stage startups.

DSConnect can be accessed via https://connect.dailysocial.id/, where you can register and login using your DailySocial account. Currently, the platform is completely free and free of charge, as we hope to become an investment hub for early-stage startups and the investment community.

If you are a startup founder and still doing fundraising, please select the "Connect to Investor" option and tell us more about your startup and fundraising plans.

Meanwhile, if you are a venture capitalist or investor angel, please “Apply as Investor” and provide some information about you as part of our assessment on the platform. We run a rigorous curation process to ensure that flat investors and fundraisers are start-ups and outstanding investors worth connecting with. This process may take a few days, but we strive to do it as quickly as possible.
