How Aika works

From screened profile to signed deal.

STEP 01

Sign up and onboard

Digital onboarding with biometric liveness and UBO checks before anyone enters the marketplace.

STEP 02

Screening and due diligence

We screen and run intelligent due diligence, with a unicorn indicator on live performance.

STEP 03

Marketplace listing

Screened ventures go live as a one-page profile, in front of vetted, serious investors.

STEP 04

Match making

We match the right counterparts; once both sides sign the NDA, a focused two-week access window opens.
