What Investors Say

LEAD INVESTOR
Invested $5,000 this round
I’m a former researcher and professor of network economics, and I love to invest in businesses where the founder attacks the market with a network-economics mindset. For markets like this, it's a battle to win the market. I am convinced that founder has the plan, and especially the grit to take Idle all the way. The “rent anything” category is still up for grabs, and so far, Idle is already defining the category. Excited to see capital raises like this on Wefunder — where investors can also become users. Join me in this adventure!
