How are the private deals selected for the Staria Swisspad?

To ensure quality and legitimacy on the Staria Swisspad, a rigorous process is applied to all private deals. For deals directly proposed by Staria, a full selection and due diligence process is undertaken, covering all project aspects from initial screening to final evaluation. For deals proposed by other communities, Staria focuses exclusively on compliance and legal responsibilities, such as conducting SAFT agreements and performing KYC/KYB verifications on the project and its Ultimate Beneficial Owners (UBOs).

For deals proposed by Staria, projects are screened to ensure they meet Staria Swisspad's quality standards. This includes a review of compliance, regulatory adherence, and alignment with Staria’s investment and ethical criteria. For community-proposed deals, Staria's role is limited to verifying compliance and legal requirements, including KYB/KYC checks on UBOs.

Staria evaluates the business model and concept of deals it proposes, assessing innovation, feasibility, and scalability. For community-proposed deals, Staria does not review business models but ensures legal documentation and compliance aspects meet requirements.

For Staria-proposed deals, an in-depth market analysis assesses demand, competition, growth potential, and market positioning. Community-proposed deals do not undergo market analysis by Staria; only compliance and legal aspects are managed.

For deals proposed by Staria, a comprehensive financial assessment is conducted, examining financial statements, funding history, and projections to confirm sustainability. For deals from other communities, Staria manages only compliance and legal validations.

For deals from other communities, external evaluation is not included by Staria, which focuses only on compliance aspects.

An internal review by Staria analysts examines the full details of Staria-proposed projects, evaluating potential and strategic fit with Swisspad’s portfolio. Community-proposed deals are reviewed for compliance and legal aspects only.
