Introduction
Imagine a world where early-stage founders connect with angel investors without hidden fees.

Welcome to Oriel IPO’s curated startup investment network, where commission-free meets clarity. You get:
- Handpicked deals that meet SEIS/EIS criteria.
- Educational tools that demystify tax incentives.
- A subscription-based approach—no nasty surprises.
It’s not just another platform. It’s a fresh ecosystem designed to boost confidence, slash friction, and spur growth. Curious? Let’s dive in.
The UK SEIS/EIS Landscape: A Double-Edged Sword
SEIS and EIS have fuelled thousands of British startups. They offer:
- Up to 50% income tax relief under SEIS.
- Capital Gains Tax exemptions on qualifying disposals.
- Loss relief against income if things go sideways.
Great, right? But here’s the snag: navigating eligibility is like reading Shakespeare in the original. Mistakes cost time and money. Traditional crowdfunding platforms charge fees, commission, or offer generic advice with added price tags. That’s a turn-off for cash-strapped founders and cautious investors.
The Problem at a Glance
- Complexity: SEIS/EIS rules change. You need clarity.
- Costs: 5–8% commission eats into vital runway.
- Quality: Open marketplaces flood you with unvetted pitches.

Head-to-Head: Oriel IPO vs. Traditional Platforms
Let’s be honest. Platforms like Seedrs and Crowdcube have their strengths. They’re well known, regulated, and offer broad crowdfunding. But they also:
- Charge 5–8% commission on funds raised.
- Provide generic advice, often at extra cost.
- Leave you to filter hundreds of deals.
Our curated startup investment network tackles those gaps:
- Zero commission on capital raised.
- Focus on SEIS/EIS specialism.
- Curated listings—quality over quantity.
- Comprehensive educational support.
Sure, the big names have brand clout. But when you want tax-efficient, commission-free investing, Oriel IPO clinches it.
