Pepins has an uncompromisingly meticulous selection process. We always begin by conducting an in-depth assessment of every company and project that seeks funding through our platform. We are adamant that the companies we select have a solid track record of achieving their fullest potential and are now at the scale-up phase. Next, we appoint an external party, such as an audit firm, to conduct a thorough due diligence. In the process, we take every precaution to ensure that all contracts necessary to secure your ownership are in place.
Pepins Market gives you the opportunity to trade with your existing crowdfunded shares. You are also able to buy into companies without having invested in their issues offering.
In the event of a successful issue, it is Pepins' responsibility to facilitate communication between the company and its new shareholders. We provide all the essential tools together with a platform to create a community, where you as a shareholder can engage, discuss and share ideas.
We believe in the power of shared ownership. It is within your power as a shareholder to choose the companies you believe in. In the force entrepreneurs have to create the company of the future. We believe that ownership stimulates drive, creativity and perseverance.
Therefore, we help the companies find as many new partners as possible. At the same time, we help the companies find strategic partners. It can be anything from board members who add key competence, to retailers who get an extra incentive to take in and expose the company's products. By spreading ownership and letting more people share risk and reward, it is possible to improve the odds of success.
Pepins provides the companies with tools to facilitate communication with their partners. We are a committed, long-term partner and do what we can to help our companies grow.
Of course, it is the companies and the entrepreneurs themselves who are ultimately responsible for their information against Pepins, communication, operations, growth and results.
Choose and become a partner in companies you believe in! Then please help your companies grow. You can find tips and ideas on how to help the community. You can, for example, be an ambassador for the company and tell about their products and services. You can participate in test panels and market research. You can share knowledge and experience.

You know the saying, never put all the eggs in the same basket. Well it’s true, which is why we recommend you become a shareholder in a range of companies in order to spread your risks. Like it or not, growth companies can be risky investments, and you cannot count on all the companies at Pepins meeting expectations. We can safely say that historically, entrepreneurial companies have accounted for the highest growth in the economy and generated the best returns over time.
A wise strategy that many of our members utilize is to make many small investments. A guiding principle is that a single investment should not be greater than 10-20 other investments you could make over a year or two.
