Idea

Introduction

Launched in 2020, The Eighth Door is a disruptive new platform that is set to revolutionise the way that real estate business is conducted, powering new deals, business partnerships and scaling real-estate propositions.

In an industry that thrives on social interaction and pitching to make deals happen, The Eighth Door is the dating platform of the real estate ecosystem, connecting all types of property professionals to relevant new business opportunities whilst extending their business network.

Introducing 'Pitch' - a real-time stream of tailored, innovative and valuable propositions where users pitch their opportunities, requirements and services in 30-second elevator pitches, through video, audio and visual content.

Pitchers easily reach out to interested parties to discuss, share and ultimately conduct business, with a spam-free environment. They can connect with pitchers and new contacts, open-up direct message conversations, arrange a call or meeting directly.

The Eighth Door is putting the fast and quick-paced world of property and technology at your fingertips!

Monetisation strategy

We are currently developing the new feature 'Pitch' to be released in Beta in the Autumn. We plan to Stay in Beta and offer the app for free for 3 months, where we will begin implementing stratergies to increase users.

Once we hit 10,000 users, we will implement our subscription model Revenue, where users can upgrade to Pro User and pay a monthly subscription of £9.99 per month.

From year 3 and beyond we plan to bring in a SAAS model to reach Corporate companies to bring in more users and revenues.

We have many ideas beyond the plan. As The Eighth Door is a global multi-stakeholder property platform, the amount of traffic and user engagement is poised to be much higher than on other dedicated binomial platforms.

We believe The Eighth Door can offer much superior ROI for all property professionals by not having the noise from totally irrelevant users. This will lead to huge opportunities in sponsorship, affiliate marketing and advertising revenue generation.

Use of proceeds

Our core business model is set to be profitable, however, we keep investing in areas that will make our business become even stronger in the future.

The funds raised in this round will be allocated towards three main areas:

1) Continued growth in already existing markets, through increasing Marketing and reaching all cities.

2) Investment into tech product development to further increase operational efficiency and bring on new resource to help implement this.

3) Introducing premium features and implementing subscrition revenue model.

Valuation (pre-money)

Valuation rounded from £2,119,610

This is the fully-diluted pre-money valuation of the business (i.e. before the new investment comes in and including issued options and other equity interests). In contrast, the post-money valuation is based on inclusion of the new investment in the value.

It is calculated as the pre-money valuation plus the amount of new investment. e.g. If Company A is ascribed a pre-money valuation of £1,200,000 by prospective investors investing £300,000, its post-money valuation is £1,500,000.

Pitch type

There are 5 types of investment pitch available on Seedrs.

  • Equity
  • Convertible
  • Fund
  • Cohort
  • Secondary

Investing in a regular equity campaign is the simplest and most common way to invest in a startup. You decide which business you want to invest in, and if the campaign hits its funding target then you will become one of their shareholders. As the company becomes more valuable, so do your shares; allowing you the opportunity to share in the future success of the business.

Equity Offered

The equity offered is the percentage of the company’s shares being issued in return for the amount of investment raised.

When the amount raised is less than 100%, the equity offered is based on the target raise. Once the company has raised over 100% it is based on the total raised.

In some scenarios, entrepreneurs may accept additional direct investment after closing their Seedrs campaign. Provided this is within 6 months of the closing and on the same terms, we do not typically offer pre-emption rights on that extra investment (where you have the opportunity to invest again to maintain your percentage shareholding).

Learn more about investing and pre-emption rights.

Seedrs nominee

This shows if you are able to choose, when making an investment, that you be represented by, and your shareholding be managed by, the Seedrs nominee.

Custodian

If you invest in this Campaign, Seedrs will act as Custodian rather than provide our standard nominee service. This is due to the fact that the business is not directly involved in the share sale and Seedrs will not benefit from any rights under a shareholder agreement. As a result, Seedrs will handle administrative tasks as we do normally, but you will not have information or voting rights, updates from the business, preemption on future fundraising, or ongoing support about business trading activity.

Secondary market

This shows if the business has opted-in or opted-out of allowing its shares to be bought and sold on the secondary market.

Direct investment

This is an option to invest and hold shares 'directly' in the company (rather than via the Seedrs Nominee). This option is only available to those investing over the threshold amount, which is determined by the fundraising company.

If you choose to hold your shares directly, you will be responsible for any contractual or administrative arrangements with the company you are investing in.

Payment options

We are not able to accept card payments for investments into this sector. You can pay for your investment by creating a bank transfer, using funds in your investment account or create a Pay by Bank payment. Your investment will only be completed once the funds have reached our account.

Business Involvement

This Campaign offers shares for sale in business that is not directly involved in this Campaign or the sale. As a result, the Campaign and post-investment experience, including investor rights, will differ from a business-led campaign on Seedrs. Most notably, the business will not engage with investors in the discussion forums both during and after the sale or provide any updates to investors.
