Only ~10% of US citizens are accredited investors and can invest in this platform. Launching the product to these "insiders" first without a simultaneous crowdfunding campaign seems like a mistake. Is there a specific reason it was done this way? Will the other 90% be able to get the same terms when you do launch the crowdfund?
Ryan Nisbet
@mikestaub You do not need to be accredited to earn equity. Most people do not have the savings to invest any money in a risky startup. Giving people a way to earn is the best way to democratize ownership.
Mike Staub
@ryan_nisbet I tried to invest by clicking the "invest" button on your landing page and it turned me away saying that I have to wait for a future crowdfunding campaign unless I am accredited. Why didn't you allow both nonaccredited investors to buy $FAIR at the same time?
Joris Delanoue
Hi @mikestaub , my proposal to chat regarding Peapods is still valid ;-). I will resend the email from sept19th, calendly link might need an update. That said, communities are borderless and if US persons are still under the rules of the 30's💁‍♂️, that's not universal, fortunately.
Joris Delanoue
@mikestaub Regarding the US non-accredited particularly, I am glad you wanted to invest in $FAIR and as of today, Fairmint's offering for US persons is reserved for accredited investors. Our customers run their offerings and decide on their own.
Joris Delanoue
@mikestaub On the choice to not run an expensive and unjustified CF campaign for Fairmint: first there is what we believe: the concept of a campaign is totally broken. Fake signal, fake marketing, fake FOMO, fake scarcity, a lot of gamification, with money locked in an escrow account 🥴 And with the stats of campaigns ending with about 10% of success, it really doesn't justify the effort and expense. As of today, the traction from US non-accredited ppl is barely over $55K, from 20ish US non-accredited. Would it make sense to file a form C? Not really considering the cost, the effort. Do we want to be exposed to the 1M database of people in all CF portals, but not our community? Not really as well. And this is just part of what drove our decision. We have so much more 😂 [All I say now doesn't apply to successful startups and founders like Immad at Mercury or Alex at ReflectApp with large communities able to raise even $5M in minutes. For them, it is not a matter of portal or tech] So Mike, yes, Fairmint is not in the business of CF marketplaces/funding portals at all. But I already have multiple examples of communities who got skin in the game using our tech! without any crowdfunding campaigns. Finally, Fairmint tech is unique as it allows people unable to invest because they simply can't afford it, to earn equity. Don't you think it makes sense for a gig worker to earn equity for providing service rather than invest his small income in risk capital, in an early-stage company trying to raise on a crowdfunding portal?
