What We Do

The fundraiser creates a campaign and provides detailed information about their product, company, team, qualifications, track record, valuations, and the amount they are seeking, as well as the equity available.

Our Trust & Safety team verifies the details of the company and the campaign to ensure the safety of our users, to maintain the integrity of our platform, and to ensure compliance with applicable regulations in the fundraiser's country and in the United States. Through our Fundraiser Services, we can help remedy most issues as needed to qualify campaigns for fundraising. 

At this stage, we encourage investors to learn as much as possible about the project and the people behind it by reviewing the story, team profiles, updates, comments, asking questions, and independent research to get a good sense of what you’re backing and to feel confident in your decision.

Once an investor decides to fund the project, they may use a credit, debit card, or wire to submit their contribution based on the preset amounts levels or a custom amount. Investors can submit contributions more than once.

After verifying each contributing investor, we facilitate the formation of a holding company. Investors nominate a trustee committee usually from among themselves to manage the investment fund. Equity certificates are issued. We transfer the raised funds (minus 5% fee, 2.9% + 0.30 credit card processing fee, and any fees incurred setting up) to the investment fund holding company.

The holding company's committee receives periodic reports and audits, which they in turn share with all members. If agreed upon, they may also become members of the board of advisors for the beneficiary company and may assist as necessary. They are also responsible for extracting and distributing returns (capital gains, dividends, profit share) to all members.
