Legal & regulatory

Structural research, not legal advice.

Kollide runs the market and clears it — never a broker, never an adviser. Here is what is live, what is counsel-gated, and what is pending, stated plainly.

The three lanes

They ship in order, and they run in parallel.

Lane 0 — IntelligenceLicence-free · no authorisation required

The free grade, the cold dossier, grant routing. Software and research, no licence required.

Lane 1 — IntroductionProfessional-only · counsel-gated

Filtering, not advice. A curated, professional-only introduction — nothing transaction-contingent.

Lane 2 — The Funding MarketECSPR · not authorised

The licensed market for offers ≤ €5M under folkefinansieringsloven (ECSPR), in force in Norway from 1 August 2026. One licence passports EEA-wide.

A licence-free lane means regulatory availability, not that everything in it is switched on. Where a surface is counsel-gated, it degrades to whatever the securities-counsel opinion allows — and it stays off until then.

The hard boundaries

What Kollide will not do, in any phase.

  • No pooling of capital into a Kollide vehicle.
  • No continuous secondary trading — windows only, if and when permitted.
  • No tokenization, in any form.
  • No equity fees inside the market entity. Where equity is earned at all, it is earned only in the builder entities — disclosed, recused from the grade, and quarantined there.
  • Where an introduction occurs, it is professional-only and it is filtering, not advice. Nothing is transaction-contingent.

Residency & governance

Hosted in the EU. AI is on its way there.

Your data is hosted in the EU by architecture, not by a setting you have to find. AI processing is not there yet: it runs at our model provider, outside the EU, until EU-resident inference is in place — and Investor OS keeps its AI switched off until then. The grade resolves every score back to its source. Even the typefaces on this site are served from our own origin — no visitor request leaves for a third party.

Our posture, in three sentences

We say what we are — and what we are not.

Kollide runs the market and clears it. We are not a broker and not an adviser, and we do not give investment advice.

Where an introduction happens at all, it is professional-only and it is filtering, not advice — nothing is transaction-contingent, and no fee ever depends on whether a company gets funded.

The licensed activity — under folkefinansieringsloven / ECSPR, in force in Norway from 1 August 2026 — requires an authorisation we do not hold. Until we hold it we operate only in the licence-free lane, and we say so on every surface.
