Wefunder, Inc. について

当該企業による記述

Wefunder is the largest stock market for retail investors to invest in 'private' startups.

We created this industry in 2012. Then we lobbied 9 years for regulatory reform. We petitioned Congress & shaped law. Invited to watch Obama sign the JOBS Act.

We’re a Public Benefit Corporation with a goal to fund 20,000 more founders by 2029. In all 50 states. From all backgrounds. From coffee shops to supersonic planes. Backed by the people who believe in them.

We help anyone invest in what they believe in – to vote with their dollars on what our society should fund. Together, we help more scrappy, hungry risk-takers take their shot to move our world in a better direction.

Our vision is to be the pre-NASDAQ stock market. We want to make it normal for every high-growth startup to raise from their customers and fans in a "Community Round." Startups will be able to raise up to $150M in a primary offering from the public... but legally, they remain private companies. Secondary trades happen once every 9-18 months in a "long term stock market" that lines up with traditional VC raises. Companies get the upside of fans investing and liquidity, but without public company restrictions or quarterly earnings pressure.

As an analyst of social science

As an analyst of social science, I think they have a good concept, but using a 2 step verification like having Wefunder send texted code to the client phone and input it after logging in would be a great idea. When an organization deals with money and finance verification that are user friendly and provide another user friendly layer of protection is always a comfort. Best regards.

It wasn't great

It wasn't great, Wefunder needs to ensure funded companies provide regular updates, at least every other month on progress, revenue, pipeline, etc. If the companies do not do this then Wefunder needs to.

Hi Robert,

Thanks for reviewing us. This is actually an initiative that we have already started working on at the end of 2022. We are making sure that all companies have provided an update at least within the past 6 months, but recommend companies to provide them quarterly.

Confusing Credit Card Charges

I had a problem with my credit card charges. I emailed Wefunder (there is no phone number) and reached Sofia. She passed the issue off to Merc (Head of Investor Success). It was really hard to get Merc to engage beyond a basic level. Merc would not pick up the phone to follow-up, advance the investigation, etc. He would only communicate via email and it took almost 24 hours to answer each email. When Merc did respond, he would send me the same response. After about a week of back-and-forth emails and trying to get Merc to advance the investigation, I ended up having to dispute the issue with my credit card company. When Merc noticed that I disputed the charges, he then became interested (finally I got a different response). His approach to handling this issue was just all wrong. In my experience with WeFunder, this team has poor communication, an inability to problem solve quickly, and meager customer service skills. My issue could/should have been resolved in 1 day with a proper investigation, but instead I had to create an investigation with my credit card company. My advice, always check your credit card or banking activity when dealing with WeFunder. Give them 2 days to properly investigate any billing issues. If they send you the same response 2x, escalate quickly with your credit card company. The biggest mistake I made was giving them a week to resolve the issue. It was a complete waste of time. WeFunder only wanted to resolve the issue when my credit card company got involved. By then, I was fed up!

Update: Merc from WeFunder responded to my review-no problem. In his response, he decided to disclose the name of one of the investments I made to the public. I have no idea why a company would do that-disclose investor information for NO REASON AT ALL. For me this is just another example of why WeFunder has a lot of work to do - starting in their customer service department. His response here was faster and provided much more details than his emails. I should have started here first. Merc, DO BETTER!

Update: My credit card company was notified and was also confused by the charges. My credit card asked Wefunder (or its representatives) to explain the charges. The explanation by Wefunder were unsatisfactory. The charges were reversed in my favor. This issue has now been resolved.

Hi Nic,

Thanks for reviewing us. I want to be sure that we clearly state what happened here, however.

You wrote me an email at 7:52AM PST on January 31, 2023 and I replied at 1:25PM PST on the same day. You then sent a response at 7:31AM PST on February 1, 2023 and I responded at 1:14PM PST on February 2, 2023 because I was not working on February 1, 2023. I apologize for the delay in response there, but we work hard to make sure that responses are given within one business day, if not sooner.

I asked you for a screenshot of the charge you were disputing on your bank statement and then explained to you that you were never charged for the charge you were questioning as the charge was not on there. You then told me you didn't believe anything I say (even though I was just re-stating what was on your statement that you provided) and that you would not talk to me any further or read anything else that I had to say and that I could sort it out with your bank.

You are saying that I should have noticed this earlier on, but in the first thing you sent me, you pointed to the charge in Kettle, which we were able to show you was charged and refunded. For some reason, however, your bank didn't show the charge on your account, which also didn't show the refund then. At the end of the day, there was no error except that your bank wasn't showing the charge on your account - and as a result - no refund for it either as it was never charged to your account.

We showed you the charge and refund, but my guess is because it happened within the same day, your bank didn't post it as it equaled out.

I would also like to comment that you involving your credit card company has nothing to do with me wanting to solve your issue for you. I am happy to work with a bank and if we are wrong, we will get it corrected. We still have yet to hear from your bank - so that clearly was not our motivating factor here.

I take all of your feedback seriously and will do my best to be better in the future. I believe that I care deeply about our investors and work hard to make sure we do right by them.

I invest through multiple startup portals…Wefunder complicates the process of investing by not allowing “editing” of pending investments, rather than cancellation. Additionally, an investor should be able to add more to an investment by selecting an alternate funding source (I have both my checking account and credit cards on my account, and would have added more to an investment, but for this.)

Do NOT invest with Wefunder!!

Do NOT invest with Wefunder. You will NEVER see your money again and the "support" team couldn't give a hoot. So glad I didn't put more money into the "investment" because I can see now it was basically a non-refundable donation. 3 and a half years and the notes have supposedly converted, but yet to see any interest payments as promised, and apparently there is no way I can sell or liquidate my investment, which basically means it's worthless. DO NOT waste your money here!

Hi Shannan,

I'm Merc and I am the Head of Investor Success here at Wefunder. Sofia messaged me to let me know you had concerns about your investment in MisterB&B.

First, I'd like to clear up some confusion. Your investment with MisterB&B converted on February 15, 2022. This information was sent out by MisterB&B last year. I have included the specifics of your investment and it's conversion in your email as it has information that is for you privately.

I read your message on TrustPilot and the message you posted on the MisterB&B raise page. Although you might feel that you should have been paid out the interest, that isn't how the process works necessarily. I can't provide investment advice to you legally, but in general, a convertible note can be beneficial because it gives the you - the investor - the potential to receive more than just the interest payments and the original capital. It is actually the spirit of convertible notes to convert - not just get back what you invested and a little bit of interest. The notes are designed to convert into equity of a company at a later date, usually when the company achieves a certain milestone such as a financing event or IPO.

Depending on the terms of the note, the investor may have their note convert into equity (which is what happened here) allowing you to participate in the upside of the business. As the value of a company grows, the value of those shares that you have now also grows - making it possible for you to make more money than you would have gotten with just a repayment of your investment with interest.

You also claimed that Wefunder refused to look into the situation further, yet Sofia replied and told that she would look into this and would get back to you with more information. Can you explain how she made you believe that she wasn't willing to help further?

I can completely sympathize with wanting to better understand how your investment works no matter how much you invested, why the lead investor (who also has an interest for the investments to do well as it will benefit them since they have a large piece in the game) would make the decisions they do, and why it takes so long for a return to happen. The average time line on getting an ROI (IF it happens) is about 3-7 years. This is the private market - much different than the public market. As your convertible note has already converted, you are already on your way to bigger possibilities with your investment if things work in your favor.

Investing in startups is very risky. We encourage investors to only invest what you can afford to lose; do not invest so much that it would impact your lifestyle or retirement plans. Every investment listed on Wefunder is much riskier than a public company listed on the stock market and it is entirely possible that you will lose every dollar you invest on Wefunder.

I'm happy to help you going forward and help answer your questions and concerns. You can email me at merc@wefunder.com.

Best,

Merc

My recent inquiry by email…

My recent inquiry by email was answered in a timely manner and resolved.
Although my overall experience in comparison to other platforms I have been using is lacking, namely in the lack of ongoing updates to the companies I am invested in.
I would hope for a improvement in this regard.
