There are nearly 6 million businesses in the US that need capital to grow. A great idea shouldn’t fail because they can’t raise the money to develop into a profitable business.
Existing financing options, such as private equity and venture capital, can’t fund all of these businesses. That’s where we come in.
We believe that any driven entrepreneur with a great idea should be able to raise capital. We’ve built a platform where they can pitch directly to the crowd.
