Create Your Account
Sign up in 2 minutes. No credit check, no minimum balance required. You'll complete a brief onboarding to confirm your accreditation status and calculate your Reg CF investment limit.
Browse Vetted Campaigns
Explore startups across tech, food & bev, biotech, climate, and more. Every company on our platform has been reviewed by our team. Filter by investment type (equity or rewards), industry, funding stage, and more.
Do Your Due Diligence
Each campaign page includes a full pitch, team bios, financial data, use of funds, risk disclosures, and investment terms. For equity campaigns, you can view the Form C filed with the SEC.
Invest from $50
Choose your investment amount, select your equity position or reward tier, review and agree to the terms, and confirm your payment. The whole process takes under 5 minutes.
Funds Held in Escrow
Your investment is held in escrow until the campaign reaches its minimum funding goal by the deadline. If the goal isn't met, your money is returned to you in full, automatically.
Track Your Portfolio
Your investor dashboard shows all your investments, statuses, and updates from founders. For equity investments, you'll receive securities documentation. For rewards, you'll receive your perks when the company fulfills them.
Understanding Your Investment Limit (Reg CF)
Under Regulation Crowdfunding (Reg CF), non-accredited investors have annual investment limits across all Reg CF offerings combined:
If income OR net worth < $124K
Greater of $2,500 or 5% of the lesser of income/net worth
If income AND net worth ≥ $124K
10% of the lesser of income/net worth, capped at $124,000/year
Accredited investors have no investment limit under Reg CF. These limits are self-certified. It is your responsibility to track your total Reg CF investments across all platforms.
