When do companies receive investments?

In order to protect investors, Companies must reach a minimum funding target to have a successful fundraise. Therefore, investments are not finalized until the company raises enough money to meet its funding target and completes all other closing conditions. When investments are initiated through the TradeWinds platform, the subscription proceeds are held securely in an independent escrow account. Once the funding target has been met, the money is released to the company and investors will receive the applicable securities. If the minimum funding target is not met, subscription amounts are returned to investors by the escrow agent. Neither TradeWinds nor LightPath ever receives or takes custody of investor funds at any point during the investment process.
