About us
We’re the Robinhood for pre-IPO startups. Everyone can angel invest $100 in a Community Round. On May 16, 2016, it became legal for everyday people to invest as little as $100 in startups and small businesses. Since then, we’ve helped 1,860 founders raise almost $500M from their community - for flying cars, coffee shops, and everything in between. We’re a Public Benefit Corporation with a mission to revitalize capitalism and keep the American dream alive. GDP growth is slowing. Wealth inequality is increasing. Entrepreneurship is dying across America; falling from 10.6% to 3.6% among those under 30 since 1989. We’re reversing these trends by funding more deserving businesses across all of America, not solely tech startups in Silicon Valley. Want to help? Join us! We’re a team of founder types: enjoy autonomy, responsibility, the opportunity to learn, and no red tape. Just make it happen.

Raising Capital in 2024

I spoke at the Chattanooga Entrepreneur Week conference on Tuesday -- about Wefunder, community rounds, and raising capital from your customers. A few minutes previously, I had walked into the press box at Finley Stadium, the home of Chattanooga Football Club, where the conference was being held. I was confronted with the view in the photo below. And I was pretty moved. In 2019, Chattanooga FC opened up a community round on Wefunder, raising $873K from 3,256 fans and local citizens. I reflected that this stadium that I was suddenly looking at was owned by the people of Chattanooga. This is cool. And it's powerful. Over the last 50 years, too much of the wealth created by capitalism has been concentrated in too few hands. If ownership is diffused through a broader swathe of the population, that will make for a stronger economy, and a more dynamic capitalism. Capitalism is great. But it has its challenges, and our current version of capitalism can be improved. More community ownership, vs. concentration of ownership, is one such improvement. And it's not just about "wealth" or "economics". It's about culture, civic pride, passion, engagement, citizenship. The Green Bay Packers have the most passionate fans in the NFL. Because their fans own the team. Thank you to Tim Kelly, Sheldon Grizzle, and all the team at Chattanooga FC -- for letting your fans become owners, and sharing the love!

This week marked six years at Wefunder! I'm super grateful to Jonny Price, who convinced me to take the leap initially; to Nicholas Tommarello who might have made a greater influence on my life than anyone I've ever worked with; to Jake Suggs for being my right-hand guy for the last four years. Lots of love for this group. And as usual at Wefunder, we're hiring! We're looking for a builder to come in as our first full-time Controller. Smart, CPA / CFA, founder-type. DM me if you know anyone! https://lnkd.in/gnA3Cn7u
