A Note from GigaStar CEO, Hazem Dawani:With just 6 days left before our Wefunder offering closes on September 2nd, I want to personally thank each one of you who are now a part of our incredible story.We’re thrilled that you’ve joined us on this journey to democratize the Creator Economy and open the door to broader participation—not to mention flipping the script on our fundraising expectations.What HappenedOur platform enables Creators to bring their community along on their journey as Investors – and we wanted to do the same for our own community. We’ve seen firsthand how the engagement has grown between Creators and their Investors on our own platform, and we wanted to develop and deepen the same connection with our community.Our raise unfolded in ways we never expected. As part of our Series A, we initially planned to offer our community up to $1.2M on Wefunder, with the remainder going to institutional Investors through a Reg D offering.But the community’s response—including yours—was extraordinary. Within just 12 hours of launch, we raised $1.5M, setting a 2025 record for the fastest raise on Wefunder. This outpouring of support made it clear: people believe in a future where Creators can turn their channels into investable assets.So, we decided to expand the opportunity. We increased our funding goal, and we’re already past $3.7M and going strong in these final days.If you haven’t yet confirmed—or if you’d like to increase—your investment, there’s still time to be part of this movement.Fostering Our CommunityLooking ahead, we’re excited to further activate you as part of our “army of Investors.” We’ll be sharing new opportunities to connect—not just with us at GigaStar, but directly with Creators on our platform.Thank you again for your support. The incredible momentum we’ve built together strengthens our mission to empower both Creators and Investors. I look forward to closing GigaStar's offering with you by our side.Cheers to this exciting partnership,Hazem Dawani, CEOGigaStar
