# Startupxplore > Startupxplore is the Spanish investment platform specialised in > alternative assets for retail clients. We give private investors > access to asset classes traditionally reserved for institutional > capital: venture capital in early-stage startups, regulated equity > crowdfunding, and syndicated co-investment alongside accredited > business angels. Licensed as a Crowdfunding Service Provider (ECSP) under EU Regulation 2020/1503, Startupxplore operates across the European single market with a minimum retail ticket of €500 per deal. The platform combines two complementary verticals: equity crowdfunding open to any qualified retail investor, and an accredited Investor Club for business angels, family offices and funds that co-invest in selected rounds. The core thesis is that retail investors should not be structurally locked out of the asset classes that have historically produced the highest risk-adjusted returns over long horizons. Startupxplore curates deal flow, runs independent due diligence on each company before opening a round, and structures investments so that a non-professional investor can build a diversified private-market portfolio with ticket sizes that fit a household budget. Operating since 2014, the platform is one of the longest-running equity crowdfunding services in Spain and migrated to the new pan-European ECSP licence on its entry into force. ## Invest in startups (retail-friendly alternative assets) - [Open investment opportunities](https://startupxplore.com/en/projects) — The active deal flow: equity rounds currently raising on the platform. Each opportunity page contains the company's pitch deck, financial information (cap table, revenue, burn), founder bios, the platform's due diligence summary, target valuation, target raise amount, and minimum ticket (typically €500 for retail). Investors commit non-binding interest first; the round closes once the target is reached and shareholders sign the definitive documentation. - [Investor Club](https://startupxplore.com/en/club) — Membership-based vertical for accredited investors meeting the sophistication thresholds defined by ECSP regulation: business angels with relevant track record, family offices, single and multi-family funds. Club members gain earlier access to deals, full data rooms, lead-investor syndication options, and the ability to co-invest at preferential terms alongside retail rounds. - [How equity crowdfunding works](https://startupxplore.com/en/about-us) — End-to-end explanation of the Startupxplore model: how rounds are sourced and qualified, what the platform's fee structure is (success-based, no upfront cost to founders or investors), how shares are held post-investment, how voting and information rights work, and the typical exit paths (secondary sales, M&A, IPO). ## For founders - [Raise capital with Startupxplore](https://startupxplore.com/en/projects) — Founders seeking equity financing should submit their round via the standard application flow at /en/projects. The Startupxplore investment team evaluates traction, team, market size and unit economics before opening the round to the retail and accredited investor base. There is no upfront platform fee: Startupxplore is paid only on success, as a percentage of funds raised. ## Editorial and research - [English blog](https://startupxplore.com/en/blog/) — Long-form English-language editorial covering founder playbooks, deep dives on portfolio and ecosystem companies, analysis of the Spanish and broader European startup markets, and interviews with founders and investors. Optimised for AI crawler discovery with dedicated `/en/blog/llms.txt` and `/en/blog/llms-full.txt` endpoints, an explicit AI-bot-friendly robots policy, and structured-data schemas (BlogPosting JSON-LD, Twitter Cards, hreflang ES↔EN, Organization sameAs) emitted on every post. - [Spanish blog](https://startupxplore.com/es/blog/) — Spanish-language editorial.
