#CompanySub-sectorKnown fundingEstimated valuation (AI) · rangePool of InterestsInterest: a free, non-binding declaration on a company, or on a sector within an area, made during the free phase of a pool.

Pool: all the Interests declared on the same target. This column shows the number of Backers and the combined amount of their tickets, to validated members only.
Terms for Backers →
BackBacking a startup on Uback (pronounced “you back”) can be done in two ways:

Interest · free: a non-binding declaration that signals your demand for a company or a sector. You can move or withdraw it at any time, with up to 5 at once.

Intention · coming soon: a paid, confirmed declaration, still non-binding. Once its pool reaches critical mass, it is presented to a company by a partner desk.

Neither is an order nor a commitment to invest.

Back · Backing on Uback (pronounced “you back”) means declaring an Interest (free) or an Intention (coming soon). Backing does not mean that this company is raising funds or that a shareholder is selling shares, and it is not a commitment to invest. Any deal, through a funding round or a sale by an existing shareholder, is handled by a partner desk: the Fundraising Desk of the country for a round, the Secondary Sales Desk assigned to the company for a sale. · Terms
