About Wefunder, Inc.

Wefunder is the largest stock market for retail investors to invest in 'private' startups. We created this industry in 2012. Then we lobbied 9 years for regulatory reform. We petitioned Congress & shaped law. Invited to watch Obama sign the JOBS Act. We’re a Public Benefit Corporation with a goal to fund 20,000 more founders by 2029. In all 50 states. From all backgrounds. From coffee shops to supersonic planes. Backed by the people who believe in them. We help anyone invest in what they believe in – to vote with their dollars on what our society should fund. Together, we help more scrappy, hungry risk-takers take their shot to move our world in a better direction. Our vision is to be the pre-NASDAQ stock market. We want to make it normal for every high-growth startup to raise from their customers and fans in a "Community Round." Startups will be able to raise up to $150M in a primary offering from the public... but legally, they remain private companies. Secondary trades happen once every 9-18 months in a "long term stock market" that lines up with traditional VC raises. Companies get the upside of fans investing and liquidity, but without public company restrictions or quarterly earnings pressure.

Slow to verify my identity Slow to verify my identity. Also, confusing auto reply messages about the status of my investment. Your customer service team was responsive and helpful. Unclear if they are people or bots, but at least that system is working. This is an issue, because it casts doubts over whether or not my investment will go through or be cancelled. I would be very disappointed if the investment was cancelled because of bugs in your platform. And yes, I am a first-time user. Wefunder is not making a great first impression.

Great Customer Service Experience The customer service was great. I had invested into a company, but for some reason it did not link to my account. So I had two portfolios, I contacted Wefunder to get that corrected. It was corrected, but then it was not showing up in the app. So I contacted Wefunder again and a ticket had to be sent. It took no real time to have my issue resolved. I’m very appreciative of Wefunder and my experience.

Went in with good intentions but got burned I "invested" in two companies and never got anything in return. I went into it with good intentions, thinking I was helping smaller companies expand. It felt more personal than Wall Street. But I never got anything in return. Twice burned, I will never use Wefunder again.

I was not comfortable giving out… I was not comfortable giving out certain numbers via email. I emailed asking if we could have a quick conversation, so I could provide what was needed. Merc responded right away, we had our call (which was very pleasant :) and we were able to button up this investor piece in a matter of moments! Thank you Merc!!

Regained access to my account/investment Lost access to my account. When I needed to check on things to see if my investment survived, I was honestly quite surprised that after not looking at it for 5 years, it was still there. Pleased to see that they worked with the startup to keep the record over the years. Today, it seems, most startup investments can't make it a few months let alone 5 years. As of the date of writing, I am very pleased. My investment survived, it has grown, and I have confidence I could probably walk another decade, come back, and know my capital is there (or at least a viable explanation as to why it collapsed to zero).
