The HomeStake team’s experience in business and investing has created an efficient way for me to invest in my hometown. And their innovative deal structures mean that I don’t have to hope for a business to sell itself before I see a rate of return. Instead, businesses can stay locally-owned.
— Marc Weichel, HomeStake investor since 2018

How It Works

Community- and mission-focused investing can be a challenge. But by leveraging tools and know-how from a proven team of investors, you will be able to focus on the key relationships that will make your efforts succeed, knowing that you have an efficient platform to keep you organized and moving forward.

Founders and business teams can also tap into innovative deal structures, decision-making tools, and proven investor development strategies to make it easier to attract the growth capital needed in their businesses.

“Community Licenses” can also be arranged to provide broad access for entire communities.

The suite of products and services on the HomeStake platform allows our clients to dive into the community-based investment paradigm from wherever they are in the overall process.

  • Access in-depth educational and how-to materials — truly the HomeStake “playbook”

  • Use decision-making tools and wizards to update and adopt investment policies

  • Use similar wizard-based tools to identify the type of deal that best fits any opportunity in focus

  • Access templates to complete (or share) comprehensive due diligence and investor communications materials

  • Utilize a wide array of calculators to structure, analyze, and document a deal between investors and business

  • Roll completed deals directly into Investor Management or Portfolio modules for efficient management and performance reporting until deal pay-off

Given the modular design of HomeStake’s platform, there is likely an appropriate “on ramp” for just about anyone interested in catalyzing community-based investing.
