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.

Service Improving 1/6/2023: Wefunder reached out and helped me with my issue. They also provided a phone number. Hope my future interaction with them stays positive. ****************************************************************** If I could select zero stars I would. Reached out multiple times about an issue I had on an investment and it took almost two weeks for someone to respond. It doesn't matter if it's the year end holidays, there's no excuse for this poor service! I even reached out to Atakama for help and they sent you emails on my behalf. Unbelievable! Why don't you offer a phone number? Afraid of getting yelled at for this perfect example of horrendous service? Get your act together!!

My 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.

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).

Democratization of the private investment market. Overall, it is a great site helping non- accredited investors get access to good investments that have always been denied them. It also helps accredited investors who want to spread their risk around by making smaller investments than are normally required by non CF or non reg A opportunities.
