Raise up to $1 million from 250,000+ people while increasing product sales, growing your brand, and engaging your community.
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.
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 250,000+ crowd includes top-tier angels, influencers, and connectors.
All 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. Your crowd round won’t drive up operations costs.
Our Crowd SAFE is VC-approved. It won’t impact your current or future rounds.
You can run a campaign before, during, or after your venture round.
Ecosystem leaders backed many companies that ran a Republic investment campaign.
A crowd round is an important complement to traditional VC, not its replacement.
It's been a hugely successful and exhilarating 90 days here on Republic, and we're excited be able to use the support from our nearly 2000 investors to build the next generation of sustainable technologies.

Republic investors seek diversification across industries, stages and technologies, so many companies are a good fit. We’ve hosted startups across a multitude of sectors, including consumer, healthtech, edtech, AI, AR/VR, blockchain, food and beverage, CPG, cannabis and countless others.
We created a streamlined, startup-friendly process that makes running an investment campaign easy and affordable.
I'm convinced Republic is on track to completely disrupt early-stage fundraising for tech startups. Whether you're a first time entrepreneur or one with a proven track record, Republic is now an option you owe it to yourself to explore. Not only will the terms be more founder-friendly than you are likely to receive elsewhere, but in the process you'll be contributing to a future in which more of the power is in the hands of entrepreneurs.
Republic was a natural fit for our mission, and it means that not only are we supported by our members through subscriptions, but they can now own part of the platform.
