Doorway: The Online Capital Raising Platform Among The First to Receive European Authorization (ECSP) from Consob and the Bank of Italy
Summary
By resolution of November 8th, after hearing the favourable opinion of the Bank of Italy, Consob authorized Doorway as a platform for raising capital online, pursuant to the new European Regulation. In line with the objectives of greater professionalism, clarity and transparency required by the European regulation, Doorway also chose a few months ago to change its organizational structure by transforming itself into a joint-stock company, with a structured governance model, guaranteed by members of the Board of Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors of high professionalism and experience. The start of a season in which only platforms that have passed the strict authorizations of Consob and the Bank of Italy will be able to continue to operate. Doorway SPA Società Benefit (www.doorwayplatform.com) is an innovative Italian fintech, which enables direct investment in Venture Capital by private and corporate investors, through a Consob-authorized technology platform. Operational since 2019, Doorway has channeled investments of over €25 million in 37 innovative companies, more than half of which are led by women or with significant social or environmental impact.
