Wefunder, Inc.Wefunder is the largest stock market for retail investors to invest in 'private' startups. We created this industry in 2012. Then we lobbied 9 years for regulatory reform. We petitioned Congress & shaped law. Invited to watch Obama sign the JOBS Act.We’re a Public Benefit Corporation with a goal to fund 20,000 more founders by 2029. In all 50 states. From all backgrounds. From coffee shops to supersonic planes. Backed by the people who believe in them. We help anyone invest in what they believe in – to vote with their dollars on what our society should fund. Together, we help more scrappy, hungry risk-takers take their shot to move our world in a better direction.Our vision is to be the pre-NASDAQ stock market. We want to make it normal for every high-growth startup to raise from their customers and fans in a "Community Round." Startups will be able to raise up to $150M in a primary offering from the public... but legally, they remain private companies. Secondary trades happen once every 9-18 months in a "long term stock market" that lines up with traditional VC raises. Companies get the upside of fans investing and liquidity, but without public company restrictions or quarterly earnings pressure.

The platform is very easy to input information and to upload files. The people are also great to work with.

Hi Brad, Thank you for your feedback. I apologize that my service only earned two stars in your opinion. I would like to point out that I consistently responded to your inquiries within a few hours and your money has settled into your account. If you have any suggestions on how we can improve our communication beyond the email that provides you with wiring instructions, the link to your wiring instructions in your portfolio, and the prompt answers you received when emailing us, please let me know. We are always open to ways to improve our service. Merc Head of Investor Success Wefunder, Inc.

It is offering the opportunity for non-accredited investors to buy into startups. However, more support is needed: 1. updates are not sent to investors e-mail accounts usually so updates are often missed. 2. Investors are not always notified of the failure or functionality status of an investment. This is important for tax purposes. 3. WeFunder has no secondary market so investors can trade and sell investments 4. The system is flawed. Some old investments don't show up. The system seems stuck at a certain amount of investments.

Hi there! Thank you for your feedback. Founders have the option of emailing their investors when they make an update, so unfortunately, this is out of Wefunder's control. However, if you make it a habit to log on every so often, you can always check your notifications at the top right of the screen to see what is new since your last visit. We are making great progress in addressing your second concern. In 2023, our team is aiming to ensure that all companies submit updates every quarter, preferably, but at least twice a year. Additionally, we are working on making our portfolio more dynamic to display these types of updates. This project has taken much longer than we first anticipated, but we are making good progress. In the meantime, we are beginning to post the dissolution paperwork for companies that fail to provide these documents to us. Unfortunately, many companies that fail stop responding to everyone, and this is out of our control. It's important to note that Regulation CF does not currently have a secondary market - not just on Wefunder. However, this may change in the future. Stay tuned. If you're having trouble viewing your investments, please let me know by emailing me at [email protected], and I'll be happy to quickly fix this issue for you.

This has been a great experience, it is easy to get set up and get the compaign going. Other crowdfunding platforms, require you to summit an email and wait for a response, that never happens. They helped malus.com get to the next level. With great great response times and knowledgeable customer service representatives.
