In April 2023, the online startup investing market (Reg CF and Reg A) experienced a slight downturn, with a total of $48.3 million committed across equity and debt deals, compared to $82 million in March. Wefunder maintained its position as the top platform for dollars invested, with $20.2 million coming from equity Regulation Crowdfunding (Reg CF) offerings.

The most popular industry for the month was Business Services, Software, and Applications, which attracted $8.2 million from Reg CF equity offerings. A total of 243 equity deals closed in April, consisting of 238 Reg CF deals and five Regulation A deals.

However, the number of new deals going live saw a decline, with only 103 new deals in April, down from 146 in March. Despite this slowdown, online startup investing remains an essential avenue for businesses to secure funding and for investors to discover promising opportunities.

Posted at 3/29/2023

This post was originally shared on Superpowers for Good.

Regulated investment crowdfunding is a powerful tool for building local capital in your neighborhood or town.

There are three perspectives I’ll discuss here:

Investor perspective
Entrepreneur perspective
Community leader perspective

For clarity, whenever I talk about crowdfunding today, I’ll be referring to the regulated investment crowdfunding on websites like Wefunder, Republic and Start Engine—and dozens of others. I’m not talking about GoFundMe or even the popular rewards crowdfunding sites Kickstarter and Indiegogo.

That said, there may be no better way for an entrepreneur to prepare for an investment crowdfunding round than to conduct a rewards campaign. We’ll talk about that another day.

Sherwood Neiss
Posted at 2/13/2023

Here are seven charts that sum up key findings:

Pitchbook Angel/Seed Deals are Trending Down. Investment Crowdfunding Deals are Trending Up and Hit Record Highs

Pitchbook released the “Q4 Venture Monitor First Look” that breaks down its data. While they show Angel and Seed deals declining in 2022, Investment Crowdfunding saw the most deals funded in history. Also, this trendline continues to show an increase in funded deals. As more issuers find it challenging to access capital in 2023, we expect to see them turn online for capital.

What are the costs for a RegCF Issuance?

KoreConX
Posted at 2/2/2023

Raising capital is necessary for many companies, but it comes with a price tag. This is why we often receive questions from companies seeking to understand how to budget for the fundraising process. With Regulation Crowdfunding (Reg CF) issuances becoming increasingly popular in the United States, understanding the costs associated with these offerings is essential to successful capital raising.

To shed a light on this topic, we have worked with our KorePartners to research the estimated budget for a Reg CF offering. However, this estimated budget is based on a variety of factors that can influence the total cost of capital raising. Thus, this information will not apply to all companies but is a general guide to the expenses involved in a Reg CF raise.
