Why raise capital for your startup on Republic

Here are a few reasons to consider Republic as part of your next round:

• Drive key metrics up

A Republic campaign is much more than fundraising. Our companies tripled user bases, sold millions worth of product, gained press coverage, connected with VCs, and raised follow-on rounds at great terms—all because of their Republic campaigns.

• New “smart money”

Republic investors are your true fans and engaged supporters. They spread the word with their network, offer help in their field of expertise, and introduce you to their connections. 

Our diverse 3.5M+ community includes top-tier angels, influencers, and engaged supporters, helping you beyond fundraising.

Our community comprises hundreds of thousands of investors and a strong network of ecosystem partners. We tend to drive most investment volume through our user base and partner network. 

Throughout your campaign, we provide exposure to our network through:

• Email announcements

• Newsletter features 

• Ongoing communications with our suite of ecosystem and media partners

Additionally, you will have access to a dedicated campaign strategy team to help you craft an action plan for your campaign. This team will guide you through email communication, strategy calls, webinars, and office hours through this process from beginning to end.

• One line on the cap table in summary

Republic investors represent a single line on your cap table and act as a single investor — without voting or information rights. Our tools make it easy to manage the group as if you’re dealing with one person. As a result, your community round won’t drive up operations costs.

• VC-friendly

Our Crowd SAFE is VC-approved*. You can raise capital on Republic before, during, or after your venture round. Ecosystem leaders backed many companies that ran a Republic investment campaign.

* A community round is an essential complement to traditional VC, not its replacement.
