million, and more than $200 million in the pipeline by August.
“Based on our research, there is more private capital being raised through WealthForge right now in aggregate that has ever been raised online,” said Mat Dellorso, CEO and Co-Founder of WealthForge, which also operates as a broker-dealer. “We have only just scratched the surface and foresee big things to come.”
“The JOBS Act has been an important catalyst for moving a traditionally offline process online,” said Fred Bryant, COO and Co-Founder of WealthForge. “We are committed to helping companies speed up their funding processes and dramatically reduce the cost of onerous administrative work.”
WealthForge raised $2.5 million in a Series A round this past spring.
