GBMy two cents on Wefunder.com I'd like to see a better UX. To illustrate, the homepage defaults to wefunder/discussions, which I'm not interested in. Lastly, any chance we will see disruptive, deep tech campaigns? I've seen more than enough food and drink campaigns.

GBMore Support/ Secondary Market It is offering the opportunity for non-accredited investors to buy into startups. However, more support is needed: 1. updates are not sent to investors e-mail accounts usually so updates are often missed. 2. Investors are not always notified of the failure or functionality status of an investment. This is important for tax purposes. 3. WeFunder has no secondary market so investors can trade and sell investments 4. The system is flawed. Some old investments don't show up. The system seems stuck at a certain amount of investments.

DKCustomer Support line While I had an overall positive experience with Wefunder, I had a very non optimum dealing from customer support just recently. This was later address and I was happy with their final answer from customer support. Recently one of the company they featured and fundraised for (Here.co), ceased operation and is shutting down. I inquired on the Wefunder customer support line. While I fully understand that it is part of the agreement that I might lose up to the whole value of the investment, their first answer was quite short and uncaring, they pcorrected this in their second answer. I would have thought that since they had raised a consistent amount of money for Here.co on their fundraising rounds, that they might be able to give SOME help and assistance to investors like me, to at least give some directions on precise contact point in Here.co who would be dealing with this matter. Again I understand the terms of the investment and the risks but I believe that Wefunder customer support could have been more helpful in this situation. They did explain and were more helpful in their second answer.

GBHard to contact a person on the Investment Team Wire instructions were clear and I have sent wire funds before for an investment in 2022, but this time I did not receive an email verifying the wire was received, even with a confirmation from my bank. I tried numerous times via email, to contact someone because there is nothing on the website other than FAQ’s no phone numbers, my investment will expire within 1 day if no one responds. Oh well

CAGreat site for small investors WeFunder has outstanding customer support. They are prompt and friendly in their communications, and seem to be genuinely working to resolve issues. They also make it easier for small and non US resident investors to sign up than than other sites do. When I started investing with them over a year ago, their minimum amount was the lowest I could find and when I read that they had a big role in getting the law changed so that non angel investors could invest in start ups, I felt that their values could align with mine. I invested more and faster than I planned to, because of the quality of the offerings and have more investments pending. I have no regrets. I look forward to a long and profitable relationship with WeFunder.
