I Raised $2.1M+ With Wefunder
First, a quick response to some of those 1-star reviews. Some investors are under the impression that Wefunder should provide updates on companies. As a CEO I can tell you - this is not Wefunder's job, it's mine! If you've invested in a company and you're not receiving updates, ultimately it is the CEO that is to blame, not Wefunder. It's also the investor's responsibility to do enough due diligence on the company before investing to make sure they are legit and have enough runway to survive etc. It sucks when companies fail, but being on the platform is not an endorsement and early stage investing is inherently risky, so do your own research! If something doesn't add up, don't invest. Now for my personal review: I honestly had a really great experience with Wefunder. We have completed two successful rounds with them and our company has raised a little over $2.1M in total. Was it a lot of work to raise this money? YES! Was I hustling every day, often 7 days a week? YES! But I really felt like the Wefunder team was with me every step of the way (special shoutout to Justin and Jake). Wefunder is not going to do the fundraising for you, but they were always supportive of everything I was doing to promote our raise. The few times that there was an issue or question from an investor, they were extremely prompt and got it resolved quickly. I should also note that I interviewed all the other major crowdfunding platforms before our raise. Wefunder had the best terms at the time, had more companies who had raised than any other platform, and the team came across as really good humans (proven to be true). In contrast, some of the other platforms are overly salesy/aggressive, with fee structures that were not founder or investor friendly. Are there some kinks to iron out? Yep, for sure, but I trust this team to figure it out. If we were doing a third round it would also be with them.
