Invest in founders building the future. Wefunder is a new kind of stock market, meant for startups and small businesses. Anyone can invest as little as $100 in the startups they love. You decide which companies are worthy of funding. If the business does well, you may make money.  If it doesn’t do well, you can lose all your money.  Their opinion is that investing should not be solely about earning a return.  To invest in something as risky as a startup, you should feel something extra, beyond just the business model. This is your chance to get the next great start up off of their feet.

Once you have made an investment in a startup, you will hold private equity in that company. The value of your stake in the company may increase or decrease over time depending on how the company performs. You will receive cash or stock return on your investment if and when a positive liquidity event occurs – for example, as a result of the company going public or getting acquired by another company. Please bear in mind that startup investments are long-term investments that may take years to become liquid, if they do at all.

We also charge the company up to 7.5% of their total funding volume for Regulation Crowdfunding. For Regulation D, Wefunder charges up to 20% Carried Interest .

Investors must be able to afford the loss of their entire investment.
