Overview
Republic, spun out of AngelList in 2016, lets startups raise from retail investors under Reg CF and Reg A alongside institutional capital, and expanded into Europe by acquiring UK platform Seedrs in 2022. For a fund, it is the venue where portfolio companies run community rounds — turning users into shareholders — while Republic's own capital arm co-invests in select deals.
