What we do

Infrastructure for the
founders capital forgot.

We take equity raises that would once have required expensive lawyers, deep networks, and institutional connections — and we make them accessible, structured, and investable.

01 — Issuance

We tokenise your equity

Your shares are legally documented, executed, and then mirrored as digital tokens on the blockchain. The statutory register stays authoritative. The token is the infrastructure layer — not the instrument.

Legal first Companies House Smart contract
02 — Access

We connect you to capital

Every raise is presented to our network of verified professional investors. No cold pitching. No pay-to-play. Just a well-structured opportunity in front of people who are ready to invest.

Curated only Professional investors KYC verified
03 — Transparency

We track your momentum

Quarterly NAV checkpoints powered by an institutional valuation model track your tangible metrics and intangible signals — keeping investors informed and your raise credible throughout its life.

04 — Liquidity

We enable a secondary market

After lock-in, investors can trade tokens on a structured order book anchored to NAV. No liquidity pools. No crypto complexity. A fair, orderly secondary facility — closer to private equity than DeFi.

Why now

The conditions
finally exist.

Regulatory clarity is arriving. Blockchain infrastructure is mature. And the gap between the founders who deserve capital and the founders who receive it has never been more visible — or more addressable.

"Less than 2% of UK venture capital reaches Black founders. The problem isn't talent. It's access to the right infrastructure."

Apply and be reviewed
We review every application personally. If there's a fit, we schedule a call, conduct due diligence, and agree terms offline — before anything goes near the platform.

We configure everything. You get a founder dashboard to track progress, upload pitch materials, and watch investment come in — without touching the token terms.
4
We track and report momentum
Quarterly updates, NAV checkpoints, and ongoing investor communications — handled through the platform, keeping your investors informed and your raise credible.
For investors

Access to exceptional
early stage equity.

Every raise on TYSU has been through our curation process. You're not browsing a marketplace — you're looking at a shortlist. Verified investors. Structured deals. Sterling throughout.

Curated raises only

No founder can self-list on TYSU. Every raise has been through due diligence, term agreement, and legal documentation before you see it. Our selection is our signal.

💷

Sterling throughout

Deposit in pounds, invest in pounds, track in pounds. Your account balance is always sterling. No wallets to manage, no crypto to understand. Just a clean investment account.

Quarterly NAV updates

Portfolio values are updated quarterly using an institutional valuation model — incorporating revenue, growth, team signals, and market momentum. You always know where you stand.

Secondary market access

Post lock-in, trade tokens on a structured order book anchored to NAV. Set your price based on urgency — from patient premium to flexible discount. All transfers admin-approved.

Compliance built in

KYC, AML, professional investor certification — completed once on sign-up, valid across all raises. We handle the regulatory framework so you can focus on the opportunity.

Impact with structure

TYSU raises are built around founders who've been overlooked by traditional capital. Your investment supports diversity and impact — backed by rigorous legal and financial structure.

£500 per raise. Invest across multiple founders to build a diversified early-stage portfolio.

Professional investors only — high net worth, sophisticated, or professional client under FCA definitions.
