Republic Opens Doors for Fundraising and Investment for Startup Projects

The cryptocurrency arena has gained a lot of popularity over the years, which has eventually led to major participation from investors in the industry. The marketspace is flooded with startup projects which enter the sector to gain the trust of the investors to pool in funds from them for the successful execution of their projects.

Are you someone who always wanted to invest in a startup but stopped because of the legal complexities involved therein? This fear restrains a major section of society from investing in a startup. Investing in a startup entails a suite of procedures which are needed to be followed before making the big investment in any concerned project. In May 2016, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission launched Title III of the JOBS Act, which allowed a major section of the US population to make investments in startups. To simplify the process of fundraising and investment in a startup, a team of dedicated professionals started a regulated crowdfunding platform, Republic. The platform was founded by alumni of AngelList, the world’s biggest digital investment solution for accredited investors. The funding portal and the broker-dealers of Republic are registered under the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and are members of FINRA.

Republic offers a complete stack of fundraising offerings in the crypto industry and strives to democratize startup fundraising and to invest in the global parlance. The expert team of the platform delivers the best services to the customers who come from their long experience in online fundraising, business, law, community building, investment, etc.
