What happens in the background?

Obviosly this is one of the best questions you have chosen!
So please read the answer mindfully!

Until the issuing volume isn´t sold out nothing happens.

After every Asset Slip of a venture, offered during the issuing period, will be sold to nvestors, fun starts.

Now the total amount the venture was seeking is raised and all Asset Slips are in investors hands. That´s the time when Mr. Idle makes the real deal in the background.

PIPELINE ventures GmbH or an affiliate purchases the real shares of the financed venture with the money collected through Asset Slip sales.

This company holds all the real shares on a trust basis, the investors on CouchTycoon bought as fictional shares (Asset Slips).

So no user on CouchTycoon will be a real shareholder of a venture he buys Asset Slips from. As CouchTycoon investor you only buy fictional shares due to legal reasons. But you can deal them like real shares. Mr. Idle´s company will be the real owner of the real shares, but he acts as a trustee for you. So your fictional shares give you the same rights like you had with the real shares. You can vote on annual shareholder meetings (held on the CouchTycoon website), you get dividends for each share you own (if the venture makes profits) and you can trade your shares. These fictional shares you own are a 1:1 reproduction of the real shares Mr. Idle holds in trust for you.

Mr. Idle has to handle the deals that way due to legal reasons. Because it´s not allowed to deal with real shares of a company through the internet. Unless CouchTycoon would be a bank. But it isn´t a bank (yet;)

Mr. Idle gives you the promise to solely deal all concerings in the interests of the CouchTycoon investors.

In Mr. Idle we trust
