Meet Josh Xealan

Hello, I'm Josh Xealan, the co-founder and CEO of Unreal Investment. My career began in the intricate world of cybersecurity, where I dedicated over a decade to developing and implementing robust security solutions for multinational corporations. My journey through the ranks of IT security taught me the critical importance of safeguarding digital assets—a skill that proved invaluable as I transitioned into the finance and investment sector.

Venture Capitalist and Angel Investor

After my cybersecurity tenure, I pivoted to venture capital, drawn by the thrill of fostering innovation from the ground up. As a VC and angel investor, I focused on identifying and nurturing high-potential startups in their earliest stages. Over the past five years, I've been instrumental in closing funding rounds totaling over $120 million for more than 40 startups across Europe and Asia. My portfolio primarily consisted of fintech, biotech, and AI-driven companies poised to disrupt their respective industries.

Navigating Startups to Success

My role extended beyond merely funding these startups. I actively engaged in strategic advising, helping these young companies refine their business models, scale their operations, and navigate the often tumultuous waters of early business development. My hands-on approach has helped several of my investments reach key milestones, including two successful exits and three series A rounds.

Launching Unreal Investment

With a deep understanding of what drives startup success and the pitfalls of early-stage investment, I founded Unreal Investment. Our mission is to democratize access to innovative investment opportunities, allowing individuals to invest in pre-vetted startups with as little as $10. Unreal Investment combines my passion for technology and investment, aiming to create a platform where anyone can participate in the potential high returns of startup investing, backed by a foundation of thorough due diligence and robust risk management.

Vision for the Future

Looking ahead, I am committed to expanding Unreal Investment’s reach, intending to include more underserved markets and bring forth opportunities that align with our goals of innovation, security, and inclusivity. By leveraging cutting-edge technology and a transparent investment process, we aim to set a new standard in user-friendly investing, making it possible for more people to engage with and benefit from dynamic market trends.
