Wefunder helps everyday people invest in the startups they love.
We've helped thousands of startups and small businesses – including flying cars, space rockets, breweries, Hollywood studios, and potential Ebola cures – raise almost a billion dollars.
We're a Public Benefit Corporation with a mission to revitalize capitalism and keep the American dream alive. GDP growth is slowing. Wealth inequality is increasing. Entrepreneurship is dying across America; falling from 10.6% to 3.6% among those under 30 since 1989. We're reversing these trends by funding more deserving businesses across all of America, not solely tech startups in Silicon Valley.
We're a team of founder types: enjoy autonomy, responsibility, the opportunity to learn, and no red tape. Just make it happen.

- Creatively source new leads and build a pipeline. Any tactic is on the table.
- Talk to dozens of founders every week, at basically every stage of business, and across multiple industries. You can empathize just as quickly with a Series B SaaS founder as with the restaurant owner down the street.

Requirements
- You’re passionate about helping founders succeed.
