Investing used to be exciting. But over time, that excitement has been overshadowed by complicated processes, inaccessible deals, and barriers that keep most people out regardless of their wealth. Frustrated with the lack of opportunity for investors, we set out to change the way private markets work. We called it Stryde71, to signify crossing the barriers to exciting opportunities.

What started as a vision to democratise private markets has now evolved into a fully regulated investment platform that opens up access to venture capital for individuals and institutions alike. Stryde71 isn’t just about giving passionate investors a way to invest, it’s about giving them a way to thrive in markets that were once out of reach.

Venture Capital is finally acccessible

Stryde71 isn't just giving you access to invest in venture capital, we're also removing the barriers, so getting in couldn't be easier.

Invest alongside the best and on the same terms

Stryde71 opens access to category-defining ventures, led by exceptional founders and backed by elite funds, at the same terms and valuations as leading investors. These are the opportunities that shape tomorrow’s IPOs, typically reserved for insiders. Until now.

We source and structure allocations into exceptional ventures, giving you access through a seamless, digital-first platform, where the entire investment journey is transparent, efficient and accessible.

The biggest gains happen at the early stages

By the time a company reaches the public markets, much of the exponential growth has already been captured by early investors. In fact, over 85% of venture-scale returns occur before IPO, and public investors are often left paying a premium for a matured business.

Companies are staying private longer

In the early 2010s, startups went public within 6-7 years. Today, the median time to IPO has stretched to over 10 years. With more capital available in private markets, companies are staying private longer, and most people are locked out of the most dynamic growth phases.
