Frequently Asked Questions

What are the risks of investing in private markets?

Private market investments carry risks including illiquidity, longer hold periods, limited transparency, potential for total loss, and concentration risk. These investments are typically not publicly traded and may have limited secondary markets. Braintrust provides thorough due diligence materials and advisor access to help you make informed decisions, but cannot eliminate the inherent risks of investing.

How do I get started with Braintrust?

Getting started is simple: download the app or sign up online, complete the onboarding incentives to earn perks and additional features access, and begin exploring investment opportunities tailored to your preferences. Open brokerage, trading, and banking accounts in less than 5 minutes. Our AI-powered research tools and advisor access are available from day one.

What are the minimum investment amounts?

There is no minimum for self-directed stock and ETF trading. For a limited time, managed portfolio accounts start at $1,000 for both robo-advisor and investment advisor portfolios. Private market offerings have deal-specific minimums that are clearly disclosed on each offering page before you commit.

How does Braintrust differ from other investment platforms?

Braintrust combines private market access, professional portfolio management, self-directed trading, integrated banking, and AI-powered research in a single platform. These capabilities are typically only available to ultra-high-net-worth individuals through private banks and family offices. We bring institutional-grade tools and opportunities to everyday investors.

What fees does Braintrust charge?

Platform access is free. Automated portfolios carry a 0.50% annual AUM fee. Advisor-managed accounts are 1.00% annual AUM. Stock and ETF trading is commission-free. Private deal offerings may include placement or syndication fees, which are fully disclosed on each opportunity before you invest.

Why Braintrust? Platform Comparison

The only platform that brings private markets, managed portfolios, self-directed trading, banking, and AI research together in one place without a minimum AUM commitment.

Braintrust vs. FinTech Platforms

Compared to AngelList, CrowdStreet, EquityZen, Betterment, Wealthfront, and Robinhood, Braintrust is the only platform offering private market deals, syndicates and groups, managed portfolios, self-directed trading, integrated banking, and custom on-demand AI market research and account analysis all in one place.

Braintrust vs. Private Banks

Unlike Morgan Stanley ($1M+ minimum AUM), UBS ($2M+), Bank of America ($3M+), Citigroup ($5M+), JPMorgan Chase ($10M+), and Goldman Sachs ($10M+), Braintrust has no minimum AUM requirement. Braintrust offers comparable private market deals, managed portfolios, self-directed trading, and integrated banking, plus syndicates and AI-powered research that traditional private banks do not provide.
