Wefunder

Wefunder is an online service that allows individual investors to crowdfund startup companies. Wefunder uses a provision in the 2012 JOBS Act that allows unaccredited investors to purchase equity in early stage private companies.

Foundation

Wefunder was founded by Nick Tommarello, Mike Norman, and Greg Belote in 2012. The startup incubator Y Combinator backed Wefunder during its development and launch.
Wefunder is predicated upon the idea that anyone, regardless of wealth, should be able to invest in a company.
