📌 Reservation Campaigns on DealMaker
Some companies on DealMaker launch a reservation campaign before they officially open their investment round. Reservation campaigns help gauge investor interest — but they are not actual investments and do not guarantee participation in the future offering.
This article explains what a reservation is, what it means for you as an investor, and what happens next if you place one.
🤔 What Is a Reservation Campaign?
A reservation campaign allows you to express interest in investing in a company before its offering is officially live and accepting funds. You’re essentially saying:
“If this company opens its round, I may want to invest.”
Key points:
No money is collected during a reservation campaign
No securities are issued
You are not legally obligated to invest later
The company is not obligated to accept your investment later
📌 A reservation is a non-binding indication of interest only.
💡 Why Companies Use Reservations
Companies may use reservation campaigns to:
Measure investor demand before launching a full offering
Build momentum and marketing interest
Decide whether to proceed with a Regulation CF or Regulation A offering
Prepare necessary regulatory filings
📝 What Happens If I Submit a Reservation?
If you place a reservation:
Your name and email will be stored securely
You will be notified via email if and when the offering officially opens
You will have the opportunity to convert your reservation into an investment — but you must complete the full investment process at that time (including identity verification and payment)
🧠 Placing a reservation does not hold your place in the offering — actual investments are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis once the round is live.
❗ Important Reminders
Reservations are not investments
No funds are collected during a reservation campaign
You may receive follow-up emails from the company or DealMaker when the offering goes live
You can cancel your reservation at any time
