IT investing

In 2025, global IT spending exceeded $5 trillion – more than the GDP of most countries. Seven of the ten most valuable companies in the world are in tech: Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, and TSMC. Behind this stands a key property of the IT sector: a digital product can be sold to millions of users without a proportional increase in costs. It is this scalability that makes technology companies some of the most attractive assets for investors. Let's explore how the industry works and what IT investment opportunities are available on the Regolith platform.

Investing in IT Companies

The IT sector spans dozens of areas: from software development and cloud services to cybersecurity, digital payments, and biotechnology. When you invest in IT, you're investing in companies whose business is built on intellectual property – code, algorithms, and patents. These assets are difficult to replicate, and their value grows as the customer base expands. This sets IT apart from traditional industries, where business growth typically requires a proportional increase in expenses.

What IT Investing Represents

IT companies are protected by a high barrier to entry. Replicating Google's search algorithms or Amazon's cloud infrastructure would take years of development and billions of dollars. This technological moat helps market leaders maintain their position far longer than in traditional industries.

Another advantage is resilience during downturns. IT companies generally have lower fixed costs: no warehouses, production lines, or large workforces. Subscription-based models provide predictable revenue even when the broader market declines.

The IT sector evolves rapidly – technologies and products are constantly being updated. When selecting a company, what matters is not just the current product but the team's ability to grow and adapt. The projects featured on Regolith have passed the Product-Market Fit stage – they have paying customers and a working business model.

IT Opportunities Available on the Regolith Marketplace

On the Regolith platform, IT companies are available at different stages of development – from startups to public funds. Each format differs in terms of timeline, entry threshold, and risk level:

• Pre-IPO. Major technology companies that are already generating revenue and preparing for a public listing. Example on the platform: Discord – a communication platform with hundreds of millions of users worldwide.
• IPO. Participation in the initial public offering of IT companies. A shorter investment horizon than Pre-IPO. IT companies regularly appear in the IPO section on Regolith – follow marketplace updates.
• Startups. Early-stage teams with maximum growth potential. Example on the platform: QwilMessenger – a corporate business messenger from the United Kingdom.
• ETF. Funds that combine dozens of IT companies in a single portfolio. Ideal for those who want broad sector exposure without picking individual companies. Example on the platform: SOXX – a semiconductor ETF that includes NVIDIA, AMD, and Broadcom.

The process consists of four steps:

1. Registration. Create a personal account and complete verification.

3. Purchase. Select the amount and transfer funds using your preferred method: Apple Pay, Google Pay, SWIFT, or USDT. The platform handles all legal support and document processing.
4. Monitoring. Track the status of your investments and portfolio company updates in your personal account.
