Looking to buy the whole SaaS business instead?
Acquirers use a separate onboarding journey and provide information about the kinds of companies they want to acquire.

What information do I provide during investor onboarding?
The onboarding process collects information relevant to your investment objective, including the types of SaaS opportunities, stages, markets, sectors, or other preferences requested by HTBS.

Yes. Founder fundraising submissions go through HTBS review. HTBS can also conduct an introductory founder call. Approved founders must then purchase the applicable listing plan before the opportunity becomes live.
Does HTBS verify every financial figure shown by a founder?
No. HTBS marketplace review should not be interpreted as a financial audit or independent certification of founder-provided information. Investors remain responsible for verification during diligence.
Can I message a founder through HTBS?
Eligible paid marketplace users can use the internal messaging workflow. HTBS remains present as a mediator in marketplace conversations.
Can an NDA be used before sensitive information is shared?
The marketplace can support NDA-related progression where appropriate before more sensitive founder information is exchanged.
Does HTBS introduce investors to founders?
HTBS can introduce live fundraising opportunities to relevant participants within its private investor network and can help coordinate founder-investor meetings. This does not guarantee that either party will proceed.

No. HTBS provides marketplace access and facilitates conversations. Investors remain responsible for evaluating investment suitability, risk, terms, and the decision to invest.
Does HTBS guarantee investment returns?
No. HTBS does not guarantee investment performance, returns, valuation changes, liquidity, future fundraising, acquisition, exit, or any other financial outcome.
