Founded in 2012 by Ryan Feit and James Han, the platform is one of the largest in the United States having raised capital for over 65 different companies with an average investment of $500,000 per issuing company. More than $40 million has been raised on the SeedInvest platform since launch. Total users of the SeedInvest platform number over 120,000.
In a recent letter Feit stated;
“Equity crowdfunding is important because it has the potential to allow founders to spend less time fundraising and more time building their businesses, which is what really matters.”
