About

EquityZen is a financial technology investment platform and private market marketplace that connects shareholders of private companies (often employees or early investors looking to sell their equity) with accredited investors seeking access to pre-IPO investment opportunities. It simplifies secondary market transactions in late-stage private company stock by providing a clear process and structured investment products that help introduce liquidity to traditionally illiquid private markets and enable participation in the growth of leading private firms. Since its 2013 launch, EquityZen’s marketplace has facilitated tens of thousands of private placements across hundreds of companies, bringing together buyers and sellers and offering pooled investment vehicles and direct share acquisitions to accredited investors. Its tools and network aim to unlock equity compensation value for shareholders while giving investors diversified access to private company shares.

About

Your friends, customers, supporters, and local community can invest in your company - with only one entry on your cap table. We help you raise more money, faster, so you can get back to what matters, building your startup. Plus, you'll have an army of evangelists motivated to help you succeed. Wefunder lets investors own a small stake in your company, while kickstarter allows you to sell products. We think kickstarter is super cool, but a customer is very different than an investor. A customer just expects a product – an investor wants to help your company long-term. Make your most loyal customers into owners, they are often your most passionate evangelists. Investors have a financial interest in helping your business succeed, for instance, if you own a brewery and your customer is also your investor, she'll likely drink more beer there, and bring her friends more often.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • When I signed up in 2017, I liked the idea of making investing accessible. I thought this would be the future, and a movement for the people.
  • Great for startups that can not raise money anywhere else. I know of 3 companies that tried raising but they were rejected and end up using this platform and all went out of business. So, if you have failed raising anywhere else, this is the platform to use.

Cons

  • Not only is this pretty much a return-less operation, Wefunder has been evading ALL accountability for allowing fraud on its platform. For almost half a year now, they've been playing games about this issue.
  • A place to lose your money, 100% of the startups I have invested in this platform have gone out of business since 2016. They do not do a good job in due diligence because they are desperate to get more companies on their platform. Use your local angel or venture fund organizations instead of these platforms.
