Over the past 20 years, there has been a dramatic capital shift from the public to private markets. Since 2000, private market assets have grown 10x, representing over $6 trillion globally.* The private market, or investments outside of the stock market, were historically reserved for institutional and wealthy individuals. These include investments in private equity, private lending, real estate, venture capital, real assets such as artwork and even cryptocurrency.
While these asset classes make up a significant portion of a high net worth individual’s portfolio** access to these types of investments wasn’t available to the average individual due to regulations and the risks associated with private markets.
Thanks to Republic and the JOBS Act, anyone can become an investor in private markets and invest directly in vetted startups, real estate, video games, local businesses, growth-stage companies, crypto, music, litigation finance and more. The Republic ecosystem has deployed over $800 million in investments, has supported over 600 companies, and boasts a community of over 1.5M users across 100 countries.
When you invest, you're investing in the success of founders, artists, entrepreneurs and creators. We’ve made it our mission to expand access to innovative investments, empower individuals through education and give people the power to invest in the future they believe in.
Republic brings opportunities to you within a click of a button. What you decide to invest in is up to you. Here are the types of private investments you’ll find on Republic:
Startups are young companies that look for funding to fuel the growth of a new business.
Crypto is a digital asset built on blockchain technology—investors are able to participate in cutting-edge technology.
Music & the Arts investing is a way for avid fans, investors, and communities to fund projects they love and receive a financial stake in return.
Video game investments fuel the creation of a game and are often revenue-generating, meaning they allow an investor to earn passive income from game sales.
Real Estate can range from fix-and-flips, city-specific funds, investing in buildings, digital real estate, and even innovative real estate technologies.
Litigation Finance is the practice of providing capital to a plaintiff with the expectation that a portion of the financial settlement would be paid back to the capital provider as a potential return on investment.
Local business investing involves funding the operations, expansion, or other efforts of a business. This type of investing is often structured as a debt investment where investors may receive passive income repayments.
