This really does seem the same. Actually, I invested in one there just so say I could.

But there's some weird things on this site:

- there's something called investment clubs where you can recommend companies to nearly-passive investors and get 10% of something out of it. But there's no inventory on this site either so why are they being paid for no work? I'm sure I could guess every investment just from the name of their club and skip the middleman.

- several companies are just selling you bonds ("revenue share" and "loan money"). Seems strictly worse than buying some regular bonds, and why does a startup want to return capital anyway?
