Wefunder is an online service that allows individual investors to crowdfund startup companies.[1][2] Wefunder uses a provision in the 2012 JOBS Act that allows unaccredited investors to purchase equity in early stage private companies.[3][4]

Foundation

[edit | edit source]

Wefunder was founded by Nick Tommarello, Mike Norman, and Greg Belote in 2012.[citation needed] The startup incubator Y Combinator backed Wefunder during its development and launch.[5]

Wefunder is predicated upon the idea that anyone, regardless of wealth, should be able to invest in a company.[6]
