A more efficient way to prepare, access, structure and manage private capital.
TYSU brings companies, professional investors and the infrastructure around private investment into a more structured process. From application and onboarding through investment, reporting and potential secondary transactions, TYSU is designed to reduce unnecessary friction while maintaining the information, checks and standards investors need.
Access should be easier. The process should be better. Investment judgement should remain human.
For many companies, raising capital means navigating fragmented networks, introductions, advisers, legal processes, documentation, investor relationships and repeated requests for the same information.
The quality of the business can become only part of the equation. Access to the right people, at the right time, through the right process can matter just as much.
TYSU is designed to improve that process. Not by lowering the bar — by making the route to it clearer, more structured, more efficient and more accessible.
TYSU doesn't remove the human judgement from investment. It removes unnecessary friction from the process around it.
That means bringing together the steps that sit around an investment decision. The objective is not to replace investors, advisers or professional judgement — it is to give them better infrastructure to work with.
A capital raise requires more than a pitch. Company information, ownership, financial information, legal documentation, investment terms and supporting material all need to come together in a form that allows investors to assess an opportunity properly. TYSU provides a structured process for bringing those elements together.
Trust starts with knowing who is on the other side of a transaction. TYSU's onboarding process incorporates appropriate identity, eligibility, KYC and AML checks for relevant participants — for companies, that means greater confidence about who is accessing their opportunity; for investors, participation is not simply an open door. Access should be easier. Trust should not be optional.
TYSU brings the relevant company, ownership, investment and supporting information into a structured environment — making it easier for an investor to understand what they are looking at, what they are being asked to invest in, and what information they need to make their own decision.
TYSU provides access to a network of verified professional investors. There is no promise that an investor will invest, and no substitute for an investor's own assessment. The purpose is to make credible opportunities easier to discover and assess without relying entirely on existing personal networks and warm introductions.
A company does not stop changing when a fundraise closes. Revenue changes. Customers change. Teams change. Markets change. Competitive conditions change. TYSU is designed to capture relevant company information and momentum over time, creating a more current picture of the business rather than leaving investors dependent on information from the last formal transaction.
The initial investment is only one point in the life of an asset. As private markets develop, the ability to buy and sell existing interests efficiently becomes increasingly important. TYSU is developing infrastructure for secondary transactions, including intermittent auction mechanisms where appropriate. VCMA can provide one of the inputs into a pricing guide for these transactions, helping establish a more informed reference point between formal valuation events.
Private capital markets are changing. The traditional model is built around relatively infrequent transactions: a company raises, grows, raises again, sells or exits.
TYSU exists because too many capable companies remain outside the most efficient routes to capital. The barriers are not always about the quality of a business — networks, geography, information, visibility, access to advisers and familiarity with investment processes can all influence who gets considered.
TYSU does not seek to solve that by lowering investment standards. It seeks to make the process around those standards clearer, more structured and more accessible.
Diversity and impact are not an optional layer of the TYSU model. They are part of why the infrastructure is being built.
The lesson isn't that investment standards should be lowered. It's that better processes can make access broader without compromising those standards.
TYSU provides a structured route from application through preparation, investment and ongoing investor communication.
Apply as a Company →TYSU is not an incubator or accelerator. It does not take an idea and build a business around it. A company applying to TYSU should already have a developed business proposition and be sufficiently established to present a credible investment opportunity.
Typically, that means having:
The precise information required will depend on the company, its stage and the nature of the raise, just as it would in any conventional fundraising process.
TYSU is designed for professional investors looking for structured access to private companies and, over time, a wider range of real-world assets.
Find opportunities through a structured marketplace rather than relying entirely on personal networks and introductions.
Review the company, ownership, investment proposition, financial and supporting information, legal documentation and available data-room materials.
Participate through an onboarding process incorporating appropriate eligibility, KYC and AML checks.
Invest only where an opportunity fits your own investment criteria, risk appetite and due diligence requirements.
Access evolving company information, performance data and VCMA analysis as the investment develops.
Where available, access opportunities to buy or sell existing interests through TYSU's secondary infrastructure, including intermittent auction mechanisms.
A company's value does not stand still simply because it has not completed another funding round.
Yet without a new funding round, sale, merger, acquisition or another meaningful transaction, there may be no obvious new valuation event to establish a fresh stake in the ground.
It is a guide, not a definitive valuation.
VCMA does not predict what a company will eventually be worth. It does not replace a priced funding round, sale, merger, acquisition or other genuine valuation event. Instead, it provides a more evidence-based reference point for understanding how the business and its market have moved since the last meaningful valuation point.
VCMA can also feed into a pricing guide for secondary transactions — creating the potential for a more informed reference point when investors want to buy or sell between major corporate events. In TYSU's intermittent auction model, VCMA can therefore become one of the inputs that informs pricing, rather than leaving price discovery entirely to a finger-in-the-air starting point.
The objective is not to manufacture certainty where none exists. It is to replace guesswork with a structured, data-informed starting point.
But the direction of travel is clear. Private companies and real-world assets are increasingly being represented, recorded and transacted through digital infrastructure. Today that may mean equity. Tomorrow it may include property, debt, carbon-related assets, art and other real-world assets. Secondary markets are another important part of that evolution.
The opportunity is not to make everything “crypto”. It is to make ownership and transactions more efficient. Just as digital marketing eventually stopped being a separate category and simply became part of marketing, tokenisation is likely to become less of a novelty and more of a normal part of financial and ownership infrastructure.
TYSU is being built with that future in mind.
The technology serves the process. The process serves the asset.
Private markets have historically focused heavily on primary fundraising. But every investment creates another question: what happens when an investor wants to sell? Secondary markets remain comparatively underdeveloped across many private and real-world assets.
As digital ownership infrastructure matures, there is an opportunity to make secondary transactions more structured, more transparent and more accessible. TYSU is developing towards that opportunity.
Together, these components begin to create something bigger than a fundraising platform. They create infrastructure for the life of an asset.
The conventional private market often produces a valuation when something happens. TYSU is designed to create useful information about what happens in between.
It is not a promise of price. It is not a substitute for market discovery. It is an additional piece of structured information.
Better information can make better markets.
A functioning private capital market needs more than companies and investors. It needs confidence in the process. That means:
TYSU starts with private companies. But the opportunity is much larger. The same infrastructure questions exist across an expanding range of real-world assets and the secondary markets that sit around them.
These are infrastructure questions. TYSU is being built to address them.
Diversity and impact are part of TYSU's permanent mission.
We believe capital markets work better when talented businesses are not excluded by unnecessary barriers, limited networks or historic patterns of access. That does not mean every business should receive investment. It means the process for being considered should be more open, structured and transparent.
TYSU particularly welcomes diverse and impact-driven businesses that have historically found traditional capital routes harder to access.
Widening access and maintaining standards are not opposites. A better process should make it possible to do both.
It is not trying to replace investors.
It is not trying to replace advisers.
It is not trying to replace due diligence.
It is not trying to make private investment risk-free.
It is building the infrastructure around those things.
Whether you are raising capital or looking for opportunities, TYSU is designed to make the process around private investment clearer, more structured and more efficient.
