Congrats Republic team! How different is this from flashfunders? Are there any specific structure e.g C-Corp for startups to be able to raise funds?

@kausmukherjee Thank you! As long as you're an operating company (LLC or corporation) formed under US laws, then generally you're eligible to run a campaign with us. Please check out https://republic.co/learn/issuer... for more info.

I love the idea, and have been looking forward to someone to execute on this well. Just as a thought, it may be helpful to include feedback from individuals / entities who have chosen to invest in a specific company - essentially, as a way of mimic'ing the "lead investor" effect in start ups - i.e. someone reputable that has vetted a company and is able to articulate the reasons they have invested for others who want to "follow". Ultimately, the risk is still fully borne by each individual investor, but just adds more dimensions to risk evaluation. Anyway, just a thought! Looking forward to using this!!

Equity crowdfunding seems like a good idea, looking forward to it. But wouldn't be nice that the "investor" can also offer sth back to the startup? Like connections, consultancy, cooperation, etc. I think many ppl thinks that investment is always only about money, but what makes a Gd investor distinct from the rest is, not only he/she has money, but also has other things that can help the startup company grow.

@roy_hui Sure, but that's more like equity-compensation for services. That adds a bunch of variables making it difficult to build a model that works for all.

This looks like a great idea so far. I couldn't figure out if there are international restrictions on who can invest of if it is USA-only.

@odsamuels for now, foreign investors with US bank accounts can invest on our site. We'll work on accommodating non-US bank accounts soon.

What does this do to the cap table of an entrepreneur? If folks are able to get in with a minimum of $10 and I see that some of the campaigns on the home page are raising $100k, how does the final cap table look?

@onebandwagonfan a little complicated to discuss here, but please check out republic.co/crowdsafe and let us know if you have any questions.

Is it similar to Kickfurther?
Kendrick Nguyen
Maker
@chiancheng Not quite. Republic is less about promotion and more about investing and engaging founders with their investors.

What is the process for applicants ? Can they be international companies? Looking forward to see the projects developed thanks to the platform.
Kendrick Nguyen

@mickwho1 By law we can only work with companies formed in the US (Delaware or one of the states). Applicants can just send us a message to issuers@republic.co with some info about what they do and traction, and we will reach out for more info.
