At the time, it was only $2,000. If I had money back then…well, let’s just say I wouldn’t need to raise anything right now :)I was in high school though, and gradually invested in crypto more and more each year. As my affection for crypto investing grew, I found myself continually running into crazy 3-5% fees and 5-7 day settlements times when buying crypto on Coinbase or Gemini.There Had To Be A Better Way To Invest In CryptoThis past December, I set out to build a better solution...a bank account with all your favorite features like direct deposit, a debit card, and ATM access, with the added ability to buy and sell crypto for free (yes, free) with instant settlement. Normal Was BornIn March, I decided to leave my job as lead software engineer at a fintech company called Finotta to pursue building Normal full time. Since then, a lot of amazing things have happened.ProgressBanking and Crypto PartnerIt’s taken dozens of meetings and hours of research, but I’ve successfully found and partnered with a phenomenal banking and crypto partner to bring Normal’s vision to life.Mobile AppI’ve also built the mobile banking app for Normal which will be available on both iOS and Android. It looks and feels very similar to your current banking app, but with a handful of more useful design choices and budgeting tools.Crypto WalletAs an extension to this first iteration of Normal, I’ve also designed and built a new crypto wallet and connected browser extension allowing you to instantly use your fiat or crypto funds on your favorite Web 3.0 sites like Opensea, Uniswap, and more. This feature will not be available until next year.We Got Accepted!Normal has also been accepted into the Antler Startup Accelerator in Boulder, Colorado this summer! It’s a 6 week program focused on team building, idea validation, product market fit, coaching, mentoring, and so much more. The last week is Pitch Week with the opportunity to receive $200k in funding! All Antler companies continue to receive advising and guidance regardless of the investment decision.VisionI’m building Normal to connect the best features of traditional banking with the amazing new benefits crypto and DeFi have to offer. Crypto is still very technical and confusing (even for me as a software engineer!) and I strongly believe easy to use design is a must to share the benefits of crypto with everyone. My ultimata goal is to build the perfect gateway for people to invest in and use their crypto to empower their financial lives.Let's Do ThisI need your help in bringing Normal to life and making crypto easier than ever to invest in. Let’s destroy those annoying fees and ridiculous settlement times. It’s your money, you deserve better. Let’s make crypto mainstream.Additional InfoNormal Pitch Deck","quick_facts":["💰 Buy and sell crypto with fiat for completely free","💳 Spend fiat or crypto from a single debit card","⚡️ Convert between fiat and crypto with instant settlement - no more waiting up to 7 days","🤖 120+ user waitlist ready to get started","🏔 Accepted into Antler Startup Accelerator with $150k in funding","🔒 Banking and crypto program partners secured","🚀 Never miss another crypto investment"]},"computed_metrics":{"total_amount_raised":83255,"total_investors":50,"team_size":1,"featured_investor_count":1,"faq_count":5,"recent_post_count":0},"quick_facts":[{"claim_id":"claim-fact-1","value":"💰 Buy and sell crypto with fiat for completely free","citation":"https://wefunder.com/normalfinance#claim-fact-1","observed_at":"2026-06-22T05:03:34Z","expires_at":"2026-06-29T05:03:34Z"},{"claim_id":"claim-fact-2","value":"💳 Spend fiat or crypto from a single debit card","citation":"https://wefunder.com/normalfinance#claim-fact-2","observed_at":"2026-06-22T05:03:34Z","expires_at":"2026-06-29T05:03:34Z"},{"claim_id":"claim-fact-3","value":"⚡️ Convert between fiat and crypto with instant settlement - no more waiting up to 7 days","citation":"https://wefunder.com/normalfinance#claim-fact-3","observed_at":"2026-06-22T05:03:34Z","expires_at":"2026-06-29T05:03:34Z"},{"claim_id":"claim-fact-4","value":"🤖 120+ user waitlist ready to get started","citation":"https://wefunder.com/normalfinance#claim-fact-4","observed_at":"2026-06-22T05:03:34Z","expires_at":"2026-06-29T05:03:34Z"},{"claim_id":"claim-fact-5","value":"🏔 Accepted into Antler Startup Accelerator with $150k in funding","citation":"https://wefunder.com/normalfinance#claim-fact-5","observed_at":"2026-06-22T05:03:34Z","expires_at":"2026-06-29T05:03:34Z"},{"claim_id":"claim-fact-6","value":"🔒 Banking and crypto program partners secured","citation":"https://wefunder.com/normalfinance#claim-fact-6","observed_at":"2026-06-22T05:03:34Z","expires_at":"2026-06-29T05:03:34Z"},{"claim_id":"claim-fact-7","value":"🚀 Never miss another crypto investment","citation":"https://wefunder.com/normalfinance#claim-fact-7","observed_at":"2026-06-22T05:03:34Z","expires_at":"2026-06-29T05:03:34Z"}],"latest_fundraise":{"id":63134,"entity_id":"wefunder:fundraise:63134","state":"successful","offering_type":"4(a)(6)","structure":"safe","testing_the_waters":false,"can_invest_now":false,"funding_started_at":"2022-07-12T00:56:04Z","funding_closed_at":"2022-08-06T04:02:04Z"},"investor_memos":[],"team":[{"id":2724151,"entity_id":"wefunder:company_role:2724151","name":"Joshua Blew","title":"Founder \u0026 CEO","role":"founder","profile_url":"https://wefunder.com/joshua.blew"}],"featured_investors":[{"id":4828,"entity_id":"wefunder:company_investor_profile:4828","name":"Thomas Woodward","bio":"I've been a Finance \u0026amp; Fintech dual-credit professor at Summit Technology Academy for 5 years.

Wefunder - and the SEC - require us to wait at least 21 days from filing our Form C before we can close. Therefore, closing should happen within the first week of August. 2) Currently, we support BTC, ETH, LTC, DOGE, and USDC.
