Questions.

No. 1877 Capital never holds client money. If a diaspora member and a business decide to go further, any transaction is handled by a licensed partner under its own terms.

1877 Capital Ltd is a UK founded technology company registered in England and Wales, company number 17338653. Our Jamaican operating company is undergoing incorporation.

From Kingston's coordinates, roughly 18°N 77°W. It's where we started, not the limit of what we do.

1877 Capital is founder-funded. Information for eligible UK investors is available through our investors page.

It tells a business you would like to hear more. It is not an investment, a commitment to pay or advice. Every expression of interest has a 48-hour cooling-off period, set by us, during which you can withdraw it.

So nobody feels rushed. You can withdraw during that time with no obligation.

The waitlist is open to people in the UK, US and Canada first. Other countries will follow, subject to local rules.

Yes. Any small business can fail and you could lose everything you put in. Grades describe readiness from records; they are not a prediction or advice.

No. We never sell personal data. We never share a business's records with anyone the business has not chosen, except in the cases set out in our privacy notice or where the law requires it. Anonymised statistics never identify a business and never use fewer than 10 businesses.

From six weighted factors: Financial health 30, Founder quality 20, Market opportunity 15, Compliance and governance 15, Technology readiness 10, Collateral and assets 10. Every grade shows its reasons. How grades work.

Yes. A business can ask for a person to review its grade, give its view and challenge it. Grades also update as new records come in.

A view for development agencies, chambers and programmes to track cohort progress, referrals and readiness.

Anonymised cohort figures by default. A business's own records only when that business switches sharing on, and it can switch it off at any time.
