# Overview

Raising capital through TheAngel is designed to be simple, transparent, and fast.

Instead of months of cold outreach, scattered investor conversations, and repetitive pitching, founders can complete their raise through a structured, compliant, and globally accessible fundraising process.

This section outlines every stage from listing your company to receiving investment and participating in liquidity events.

### Overview of the Founder Journey

TheAngel reduces the founder workflow to three streamlined phases:

> 1\. List Your Startup  →  2. Tokenise Your Equity  →  3. Get Funded & Trade Tokens

Each phase is guided by the platform, with compliance, tokenisation, investor matching, and liquidity built in.
