Institutional-investor FAQ

Answers to the five questions a mandate asks first.

White-Glove is built for institutions with existing diligence processes. These are the questions we hear most.

What ticket size does White-Glove suit?

The $18,000/yr White-Glove tier suits mandates deploying meaningful cheque sizes; pricing tailors to mandate, and your BIA principal scopes thesis, cheque size and residency before invoicing (see the closing line of the CTA strip below). The $1,500/mo + co-invest allocation split supports round-level allocation across multiple founders.

See the matrix above for a side-by-side of what's included at each tier.

Are there lockups or capital-call commitments?

White-Glove is a 12-month annual subscription — there are no committed-capital lockups, no escrow holds, and no auto-renew of principal. Subscriptions cancel before the renewal date; access simply lapses at the term boundary.

What do term sheets look like?

Branded term sheets — your fund's brand on the artwork, the cap-table marks, and the on-platform receipt, never BIA's. Term sheets run on the founder's KYC, not on White-Glove's tier — every BIA founder has cleared identity, KYC, deal pack and references.

See the matrix above for how this compares to Standard and Premium.

How often will I hear from my principal?

Quarterly portfolio reviews — a consolidated write-up of the cohort, every quarter. Direct principal-to-founder intros on demand, scheduled; the dedicated principal is named, not a feed.

What confirms the founders are 'skin-in-game'?

Every founder clears BIA KYC — identity, BVN/NIN/CAC, country of operations, deal pack (PDF + pitch deck), references — before a deal card goes live. White-Glove adds a named BIA principal for a final diligence pass before the term-sheet round.
