You invest, you sign, and then - mostly - you hope.

Polin. keeps you informed, protected and organised across your startup portfolio. Legal and operational oversight for angel investors, private investors and family offices.

Who this is for

This service is for you if:

  • You're an angel investor with a growing portfolio and no one tracking your shareholder rights, follow-up obligations, or what actually got signed three funding rounds ago.
  • You're a private investor who enjoys contributing to your portfolio companies, but don't have the time or internal support to manage the corporate, legal and administrative workload that comes with minority stakes.
  • You're an emerging family office or smaller investment firm that needs ongoing legal and operational oversight across multiple investments, SPVs and corporate holdings, without hiring a full-time team.
  • You care about staying in control, but you're tired of hoping nothing important slips through the cracks.

What changes

You'll know what you own, what you're entitled to, and what needs your attention, before it becomes urgent.

You'll have one central point of contact who understands your portfolio, tracks your rights and obligations, and makes sure you're informed and protected when decisions are made or documents land for signature.

You'll stop wondering if you missed something important in a shareholder resolution, or whether that new funding round just diluted your position in a way you didn't catch.

What's included

What Polin. covers

Document review & shareholder support
