Why IFDP?
We are addressing the critical challenges in the investment landscape by providing a centralized, reliable platform that bridges the gap between investors and founders.
Data Centralization
Data is fragmented and not centralized, leading to limited access to accurate, up-to-date, and verified information. Investors miss out on discovering innovative startups, while founders face challenges in securing the necessary backing to grow their ventures.
Need for Reliability
Absence of a reliable platform where investors and founders can easily connect creates a significant barrier in the entrepreneurial ecosystem. Without a dedicated space to facilitate these connections, both parties struggle to find the right matches.
Information Access
When data is incomplete, outdated, or scattered across different sources, it creates significant gaps. These data gaps hinder investors' ability to fully assess the market, resulting in a limited flow of quality deals.
