Overview

Wefunder, founded in 2012 and a Y Combinator alum, lobbied for the JOBS Act rules it now operates under and has become the largest Regulation Crowdfunding platform by volume, branding its raises as 'Community Rounds.' Funds encounter it when portfolio companies top up a priced round with customer capital — non-dilutive of your ownership target if structured alongside the lead's terms.

  • Founded 2012; went through Y Combinator (W13)
