Thesis
Wefunder is an equity crowdfunding platform founded in 2012 with the mission to democratize access to private investments. It facilitates startup fundraising through Regulation Crowdfunding (Reg CF) for community rounds, allowing raises up to $5 million from both accredited and non-accredited investors with minimums often set at $100, and Regulation D (Reg D) for private rounds targeting accredited investors. The platform focuses on seed and Series A financings, typically up to $10 million, across a wide array of industries including technology, food, energy, and business services. Wefunder charges founders a success fee, typically 7.5% of the amount raised. While primarily operating in the US, it has facilitated investments in companies from Canada and Denmark.
