Congrats on the launch @kendrickesq & team! Spent a lot of time thinking around equity crowdfunding when the JOBS act was passed way back in 2012. (4 years later... Funny how Congressional "mandates" work πŸ˜‰). Curious on your take on a couple q's: 1) how do you manage against adverse selection, i.e. avoiding presumably lower quality dealflow that's already been passed on by traditional angel / vc capital. 2) how's the expected cost of capital of each tier of title III deal compare to 506b/506c Reg D deals?

@jsandlund Thanks, Johnny. Republic fundraising is fundraising AND marketing at the same time, so it's def not an option of last resort. Second, many good ideas and innovations never get a chance to pitch or meet traditional angels, so the presumption of lower quality is misplaced. Only time can validate my confidence though. :)

And by anyone, you mean ONLY USA citizens, right?

@mouadmohssine Hi Mouad - No anyone with a US bank account for now. And we will be able to work with non-US banks soon.

@kendrickesq I get to see a lot of services like this, but Republic seems to be cooler.. but too bad I don't have a US bank account, I'm from Morocco. I hope I'll be able someday to invest through Republic, good luck guys!
