Why run a Regulation Crowdfunding campaign?
One of the most common questions I get from founders is “why run a Regulation Crowdfunding campaign vs. raise money through more conventional means?” My answer is basically twofold: Money and People.
From a Money perspective, Regulation Crowdfunding allows you to raise more money, by tapping into three new pools of capital -- (1) accredited investors you know who aren’t yet ready to write a large check, but might write you a smaller one on Wefunder; (2) unaccredited investors in your network; and (3) Wefunder’s network of investors.
And from a People perspective, by running a Regulation Crowdfunding campaign, you can get a beautiful pitch of your company in front of hundreds of thousands of people (marketing!), and turn your existing customers into investors, and even more passionate ambassadors for your brand.
