2.0 Manager Accounts

Manager Accounts are for qualified fund managers, deal sponsors and other managers of private investments to streamline, accelerate, simplify and digitize their fundraising, private placement and investor relations processes. The technology helps fund managers drive investor engagement, increase security, compliance and oversight, and unify the investor experience. The Manager Accounts aim to offer an all-in-one platform, combining features and functionality often used across multiple software licenses, subscriptions and solutions in one integrated, online environment.

Manager Accounts are governed by the Manager Account Agreement. By using a Manager Account, you agree to its terms.

2.1 Overview

The Manager Account is free, subject to certain limits (provide below), and it includes access to upgradable, premium modules.

Users of the Manager Account can launch their own "digital store" or "virtual marketplace," where they can upload information, data and documentation about their firm and offerings and securely share it, using a permission-based system.

The Manager Account can: 1) operate on a stand-alone basis solely by you or your firm, or 2) be launched, powered or extended by a fund administrator using a Fund Administrator Account to service your firm. Fund Administrators who are servicing one (or many) of your fund offerings (including managing the subscription process), have the tools to distribute information, data and documents to investors on your behalf. Any such action by the Fund Administrator is governed and authorized solely in accordance with any Fund Administration agreement entered into between the Fund Manager and Fund Administrator, to which Eleven is not a party. Furthermore, as per Eleven’s Terms of Use, Eleven has no resulting obligations in terms of the accuracy of any User Content in a Fund Manager Account, nor the distribution to any other party through the Platform.

Every Virtual Marketplace may be accessed with a unique Eleven-hosted URL (“Manager URL”) address with a shortened and hyphenated version of the investment manager’s name, for example: https://platformeleven.io/sample-manager.

The Virtual Marketplace is a modular system that includes several main sections: Home, Offerings, Documents, My Investments and Transact. The Home page, Documents and some pages in Offerings may be accessed by the active relationships you have in your People (as described further below). Visibility of your Offerings can also be limited to relationships that certify that they are an “Accredited Investor” and which a Fund Manager has independently verified. Access to certain pages and document libraries for your specific offerings are permission-based.

The Manager Account is an entity-level account (versus an individual User Account) where multiple Users can have access to the same Manager Account License.

2.2. Description of functionality

The Manager Account entails a number of integrated features packaged into two principal sections: Engagement and Build Your Portal.

Engagement

The Engagement area includes the following subsections:

Build your portal

Build Your Portal is an administrative, user-friendly area to build and maintain information, offerings and documents available in your Virtual Marketplace and manage certain settings.

2.3 Limits

2.3 Upgradable modules

Users of Manager Accounts can upgrade to various premium modules and services while logged in. The premium modules include: Pro, Digital Transactions, Factsheets and Offering Dashboards. Pricing and additional terms for each module are provided during the upgrade, subscription or purchase process.

2.3 (a) Pro

(i) Description of functionality

Pro is a premium, subscription-based version of the Manager Account that provides more features, tools and information. It allows users of the Manager Account to take a more active role in servicing their investor relationships. It is designed to help accelerate the fundraising process, improve conversion rates and improve your brand and investor experience. Eleven charges a monthly license fee for Pro based on the assets your company manages.

Pro includes all the features of the Manager Account, plus other premium features, including:

(ii) Limits

Pro has the same limits as the Manager Account, except as provided below:

2.3 (b) Digital Transactions.

(i) Description of functionality

Digital Transactions allows you to digitize your transaction documents (e.g. subscription documents) to provide your relationships with the ability to transact online inside your Virtual Marketplace. Your current documentation is digitized and put into a secure, scalable wizard for investors to use, making the process faster, more accurate and more secure. Investors can start from scratch or apply any of their saved Investor Profiles to the transaction for even faster execution. This module includes electronic signature workflows, KYC documentation workflows and reviewing, approval and downloading workflows.

(ii) Digitization

Eleven provides a service to digitize your offering documents.

(iii) Pricing

Eleven charges a transaction processing fee for each transaction submitted. The fees vary by transaction type. Eleven charges $99 for subscriptions, $49 for additional investments, $29 for redemptions and $19 for all transaction types.

2.3 (c) Factsheets.

Basic and Pro Manager Accounts can subscribe to Factsheets Premium, which allows you to digitize your own, branded and fully customized factsheets with a bespoke layout and design. Eleven charges a fixed monthly subscription, which is based on the number of factsheets you are digitizing and the number of different templates or layouts you have. There may be an upfront setup fee for the digitization effort, which is mutually agreed in advance, and is calculated at Eleven’s standard development rate.

2.3 (d) Offering Dashboards.

The Offerings area of your Virtual Marketplace can be extended to include a do-it-yourself, custom-built, custom-designed dashboard for any of your offerings. This premium service is available in the Pro module. It may also be unlocked through a separate subscription for Manager Accounts.

2.4 Connectivity with your fund administrator

If your firm is serviced by a fund administrator through a Fund Administrator Account, certain users for the Fund Administrator Account may have write access to certain areas of your Virtual Marketplace. For instance, your fund administrator may be able to edit your Home page, add the Offerings that they service to your Virtual Marketplace, hide certain tabs, design your publicly facing Login Pages, populate and manage your My Investments area and set up some of your documentation (such as subscription and redemption documents) for electronic submissions and processing in your Transact area.

Additionally, some of the areas in your Virtual Marketplace may have their company name and logo on it, as well as names of the Users at your fund administrator, such as when indicating the name of the publisher of a document, or the name of a sender of a message.

Fund Administrators, in their separate licensing contracts with us, represent and warrant that they have authority to launch (if you don’t have one already) and maintain your Virtual Marketplace, service your investors through your Virtual Marketplace and create a Manager Account license for your firm and create accounts for you and certain members on your team to the Manager Account.

If your fund administrator is servicing your existing investors through the Fund Administrator Account, your investors may also gain access to digital transactions and straight-through electronic processing to this fund administrator and also be serviced by your fund administrator in your same Virtual Marketplace.

2.5 Connectivity to your own Investor Account

All Manager Accounts provide an ability to toggle from your company’s Manager Account into your own, personal Investor Account. Any information you are personally permissioned to access under your email address through your company’s Manager Account or other Accounts will be available here.

2.6 User Roles

All Users under the Manager Account receive full administrative privileges for the account, which includes access to information, contacts, documents, data and activity and all functionality, such as read and write capabilities, messaging and uploading and editing content.

Only individuals that have permission to upload and distribute documents and data about your company; add, view, permission and message contacts; and see visitor activity should be added as Users.

All outgoing messages are sent from Eleven and an Eleven email address. The name of the individual sending the email, however, is displayed, along with an avatar photo, if available. All outgoing messages are HTML formatted emails. Eleven's logo appears at the top of the email for Basic Manager Accounts. Pro Manager Accounts may show the company’s logo. Additionally, Eleven includes a tracking mechanism in outgoing emails to help monitor messages that are read and communicate that information back to you. Eleven also automatically appends tokens to links you send to pages or resources in your Virtual Marketplace to facilitate your recipients access to your information and keep your information secure. Given the sensitivity of some of the information that you may write or link to in the email, recipients are encouraged not to forward emails to anyone.

Replies. All of your recipients are encouraged to reply from their own Eleven accounts to keep your messages centralized and also ensure that you receive their replies. The default reply-to address is no-reply@platformeleven.io and Eleven does not actively monitor this inbox and is not responsible for forwarding messages it receives here to you or liable in any way for not forwarding these messages. To improve the experience for your relationships, you are encouraged to provide your own Reply To address in the Company Settings area of your Manager Account.

Forwarding. Incoming emails are automatically forwarded to your email address, and you may be able to manage, in some cases, which emails are forwarded to your email address in the Settings area of your account.

Bccs. For all accounts except Investor Accounts, you may provide a bcc email address in Settings for some outgoing messages to be copied to.

Delivery. Email delivery is important and we use our commercially reasonable best efforts to achieve very high delivery rates, however, there are many aspects to email delivery that affect delivery, including some that are out of our control (like the content in the message you send). Certain emails can and may end up in your recipient’s spam filter, or may even, in some cases, be filtered out before even making it to their spam filter. It is your responsibility, and solely your responsibility, to follow up with your recipients to ensure that they have received the messages you send, and encourage them to add the platformeleven.io domain name (and eleven@platformeleven.io) as a safe sender and mark emails received not as spam.
