Wefunder supports three different federal laws that allow startups to raise money legally. To comply with the law, Wefunder Advisors LLC and Wefunder Portal LLC (both owned by Wefunder Inc) also list startups depending on the regulation used.

Curious how well the companies have done? Or how many raised follow-on financing?
Some fine print: 1) These numbers include startups currently live on Wefunder if they pass their minimum target. 2) Some startups use two different laws at the same time (i.e., Regulation D and Regulation Crowdfunding).
Also, cannot find it in South Georgia...as asked above, what are some ways we can get it in stores?
Jeffrie, Thank you for your question. Thank you also for bringing my attention to David’s question too.. I usually respond to the questions on my mobile devices through a link provided on an email notification, so I did not see the thread. I’ll comb our Wefunder page to make sure there are no unanswered questions.
We are working tielessl to get Georgia on board ASAP! We have some great opportunities with distribution and are in process. Or sales manager there already has over 50 new accounts lined up. Yolo!!
Sincerely,
Phil
I am a Californian as well and would love to know how I can buy some Yolo and work to get it into stores here? As a former club/bar owner we worked with Young's Market and Southern Wine & Spirit distributors. Thanks
Brian,
Hello sir! Thank you for the question. Right now the only way to get Yolo Rum in California is to buy it online (shipping is almost the same for one bottle or two, so order two to get the price down). We recently submitted to Southern and were met with some gigantic opposition from the biggest name in rum. It's David vs. Goliath, and we know who won! For now it is making our journey more difficult, but we are being battle tested for what we will endure to elevate our brand to the next level. Thank you for your support and willingness to "pound the pavement" for Yolo Rum. If you have any contacts or referrals to share it is greatly appreciated. When we have a distributor and rum in California it will be easier to get sample bottles in your hands. Thank you for your continued support.
Sincerely,
Phil
David,
Hello! My apologies for the delayed response. I have been working hard to advance our agenda in California. We are working on our distribution there. It is an extremely important market for us, and we have a tremendous amount of interest there, especially after the Nightclub and Bar Show in Las Vegas! Cali was representing and we hear you, loud and clear...YOLO!!
