The fee
Any raise, any size
$10,000
per closed raise: one fee for each capital event that closes on Apolis
- The standardized model
- The deal page
- The raise record
- The post-close record
The number above is the whole schedule. No tiers, no raise-size bands, no boundary arithmetic: a $4M raise and a $40M raise pay the same fee for the same software, and a raise that does not close pays nothing.
The same raise, both ways
Set the raise and the rate a placement broker would quote. Every figure below is derived live from the published schedule; nothing is typed in.
Placement fee rate
The band the category quotes: 1 to 3 percent of the raise.
- Percentage fee
- $300,000
- 2 percent of $15,000,000
- Apolis flat fee
- $10,000
- the same fee at any raise size
- Stays in the deal
- $290,000
- the percentage fee less the flat fee
- The multiple
- 30x
- the percentage fee against the flat fee
A $15,000,000 raise at 2 percent is $300,000. The flat fee is $10,000. The difference is $290,000. The $10,000 fee is then invested in the deal as an LP stake of 0.07% of this raise.
Where the fee goes: your choice
The fee is the same $10,000 either way. The sponsor chooses whether Apolis invests it back into the deal as a limited partner or keeps it as cash.
Why investing the fee is recommended: Apolis then holds a $10,000 position on the same terms as your investors, so Apolis wins only when your investors do.
Step 1
The raise closes
The sponsor pays the $10,000 fee in cash at close. A raise that does not close pays nothing.
Step 2
Apolis invests it
Apolis subscribes the same $10,000 as an LP, in the same class and economics as every other investor; any minimum check is waived for this position. It is documented as its own subscription.
Step 3
Same seat as your LPs
Same preferred return, same waterfall, same statements, same distributions. Recorded in the same ledger, to the cent.
- Equity issued to Apolis
- $10,000
- the same LP class as your investors
- Apolis stake in a $15,000,000 raise
- 0.07%

The fee and the investment are two separate documents on purpose: the fee is a software fee, and the investment is an ordinary LP subscription. Final structure subject to legal documentation.
What the fee never does
- No percentage of the raise
- The fee does not scale with the money raised. A larger raise is a larger outcome for the deal, not a larger invoice.
- No success fee
- Nothing in the fee is a percentage of success, and there is no line of code that computes one. The flat fee is the whole fee, printed here before the raise starts.
- No assets-under-management bands
- The price does not step up as your portfolio grows. Software banded to your assets charges you for your own growth.
- No renewal ratchets
- Next year's raise prices off this page, not off last year's invoice. The schedule changes only by being republished here.
- No per-seat pricing
- Apolis sells to the deal, not the seat. Analysts, partners, and counsel join without a pricing conversation.
- No charge for inviting investors
- Invite every investor and advisor the raise needs. Access is governed by permission and logged, never priced.
What this is, plainly
Apolis is software and a verified sponsor record. Apolis is not a broker-dealer and does not offer, sell, or solicit investments. Every raise on Apolis is the sponsor's own Rule 506(b) offering, made only to investors with whom the sponsor has a pre-existing relationship, and only to accredited investors as defined under Regulation D.
The fee applies per closed raise: one flat $10,000 for each capital event that closes on Apolis, at any raise size. It is a software fee, not compensation for selling securities, because Apolis does not sell securities.
