Invest in founders building the future

Invest as little as $100 in the startups and small businesses you believe in.

Hi. We're Wefunder.

We're a Public Benefit Corporation with a mission to fix capitalism. We want to help fund 20,000 more founders to take their shot, backed by those who believe in them.

Startups are hard; most fail. Investing in them is risky. Never invest more than you can afford to lose. Do it to support the people you believe in, not because you think you'll make lots of money.

From Coffee Shops to Flying Cars

Vote with your dollars on the future you want to see

Wefunder is a new kind of stock market

Unlike the NASDAQ, we’re meant for startups and small businesses. What’s the difference?

It's much riskier

Never invest more than you can afford to lose. Startups are hard. Even the best founders fail.

Win big or lose all

Startups win big or go bankrupt. Consider investing in them more like socially-good lottery tickets.

Hold for the long term

When it works, it takes a long time to earn a return. Expect to hold for years.

Build the future

Your dollars go to the company to help create jobs, build products, and grow companies.

There are often perks

Investors often get perks like VIP access to new products or discounts.

You can help

You can offer more than money. The best angel investors help the companies they invest in succeed.

The best angel investors invest to also have an impact. Sure, they want to earn a return. But, unlike investing in Apple, you can actually help these companies succeed.

"This country provides an opportunity like no other in the world. It's never easy and you never give up. I want to give back and support those in the next-generation who have grit and vision."

I felt this was a chance for small-town America to show it's still possible to survive. To be part of something in my own community, for the benefit of my friends and neighbors. People used to get together to help a neighbor build a barn - this is the same kind of thing.
