Get Access Launches Startup Investment Platform, Raises $5 Million at $85 Million Valuation

3 articles · Updated · Business Insider · Oct 1

Summary

  • $5 million in new funding values Get Access at $85 million post-money as the startup opens a platform for accredited investors to pool into later-stage private rounds.
  • Series B-and-later deals come through contributors including Elad Gil and Box CEO Aaron Levie, with Crusoe's recent $3.9 billion round among the first offerings.
  • Get Access says it hit its first $1 million in revenue within five days of a private launch, charging membership fees and taking 10% of profits rather than deal access fees.
  • The pitch targets tech executives shut out of closed venture networks as startups such as OpenAI and Anthropic stay private longer and reach public-market-scale valuations.
