No protection of investors' interests Hello. One of the main reasons for my negative impression is the quality of the audit performed by Republic. During my participation in the project, I discovered the insufficiency and illiteracy of audit work. It was clear that their specialists did not pay enough attention to detail and did not conduct a deep enough analysis of the financial stability of startups. This raises serious concerns regarding the security and profitability of investments made through Republic. You are deliberately misleading your investors. Overall, my experience with Republic left me feeling disappointed and dissatisfied. I believe that to ensure long-term success and investor trust, the platform must seriously overhaul its audit processes and improve its performance in ensuring the safety and quality of investments. And at least somehow protect their investors and even compensate for damage. Thank you.

Smooth and seamless Smooth and seamless. Fees are relatively high because even after linking my bank account through Plaid, I cannot generally process purchases without using my debit card linked to the account, with results in higher fees. Still, the platform is a good means to learn of or connect with good opportunities to invest in private entities.

Even though the Republic platform… Even though the Republic platform claims to conduct due diligence checks before listing a company for crowdfunding, over 95% of these companies cease to exist or perform below average. Many of them fail to provide any updates post fundraising. Therefore, I strongly advise exercising caution when investing in startups, particularly through this platform. The failure rate is not 80%, but rather 95% or even higher.Also republic never give an update on status of starups on users dashboard. So we don't come to know that the investment exist or not!

The Republic User Experience I believe Republic's platform (compared to others) in the crowdfunding space is probably the best. I only gave it 4 stars for the fact that many of the campaigns are food, clothing, or beverage related. Would be nice to see other options (deep tech, climate, supply chain, etc.).

Nearly perfect I am missing the European republic app to be even more happy. Otherwise, company and offering is great
