As with any venture capital investment, the primary risk is the total loss of the capital invested. Blast Club does not guarantee any returns. It is recommended to only invest funds that can be tied up long-term and to diversify across multiple startups to reduce overall risk.
The minimum amount to invest in a startup via Blast Club is generally €500, which makes startup investment more accessible.
Two exit mechanisms exist: a liquidity clause in each shareholder agreement allows shares to be resold after 5 years (compared to 7 to 10 years generally), and the Blast Market allows shares to be resold directly to other members in a few clicks, without waiting for a traditional exit (for eligible European startups).
Investing in startups through Blast Club can offer three main tax advantages. Tax treatment is subject to future changes and depends on each subscriber's individual situation.
IR-Madelin 18%-30% : Under the IR-PME scheme, you can deduct up to 30% of the amounts invested in French SMEs, provided the shares are held for at least 5 years. Applicable to French tax resident individuals only.
Apport-cession or 150 OB ter : By reinvesting part of the proceeds from the sale of your company, you can reduce the taxation of your capital gains, under certain conditions. Applicable to French tax resident legal entities only - Minimum holding period for securities: 12 months following subscription.
PEA/ PEA-PME : Cannot be combined with other tax advantages, particularly IR-Madelin.
Tax treatment is subject to future changes and depends on each subscriber's individual situation, as well as compliance with conditions specific to each scheme (including holding period, investor's status and independence, tax residency, investment caps, reporting obligations). It is recommended to consult advisors to be assisted in determining these considerations.
For a Multi-stage Europe investment, structuring fees of 3-5% are charged, depending on your membership level. These fees may be reduced based on your eligibility for the loyalty program. Additionally, Blast. levies a 5% operating fee on the investment vehicle, equivalent to 1% per year over 5 years, billed in the first year. Should an investor realize a gain from a divestment, a capital gains fee of 20% of the realized gain is applied. This aligns the interests of Blast. and investors upon exit and rewards the operation's performance.
