About the Platform
Our Platform is structured as follows:
Sections presenting informative content about AltaClub, such as our team and vision, success stories, investment strategy and past investments. These sections are publicly accessible to all users visiting our Platform (“Platform Visitors”).
Application forms through which you may apply for admission to the Platform as an investor or startup.
Limited-access sections, with information about startup companies and investors who are seeking capital investment opportunities. We make these sections accessible only to such admitted investors and admitted startup companies, that we, in our discretion, specifically select (“Registered Users”).
VENTURE CAPITAL INVESTMENTS ARE INHERENTLY RISKY AND YOU MUST USE CAREFUL DISCRETION AND JUDGMENT BEFORE MAKING ANY SUCH INVESTMENT. YOU ASSUME SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE RESPONSIBILITY FOR:
PROPERLY EVALUATING THE RISKS AND TERMS ASSOCIATED WITH ANY INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY PUBLISHED ON THE PLATFORM;
DETERMINING WHETHER AND TO WHAT EXTENT THOSE RISKS AND TERMS ARE SUITABLE, DESIRABLE AND ACCEPTABLE TO YOU;
DETERMINING THE DESIRABLE SCOPE OF ANY INVESTMENT YOU WISH TO MAKE (IF ANY); AND
ANY AND ALL CONSEQUENCES AND OUTCOMES (INCLUDING LEGAL AND FINANCIAL CONSEQUENCES) RESULTING FROM THE ABOVE.

Registration
To be considered for admission as an investor or startup company on the Platform, you must apply through our designated online applications forms. We will indicate the mandatory fields for completion. If you do not provide the required information in these fields, you will not be able to apply.
As we process your application, and thereafter, following your admission to the Platform (if admitted), we may request additional information, documentation and materials from you, as we, in our discretion, deem necessary.
