WiGL: First Issuer to Raise $5 Million Reg CF Funding Cap on StartEngine, Returns to Pursue Reg A+ Funding Round

In 2021, WiGL became the first issuer to raise the maximum $5 million in a Reg CF (Regulation Crowdfunding) on StartEngine. In 2021, the Securities and Exchange Commission increased the amount a company could raise using Reg CF from $1.07 million to $5 million – in recognition that the exemption would appeal to more established firms (lower risk) and the fact that many seed rounds need far more than a million dollars. Many platforms, including StartEngine, quickly saw issuers hit the new funding cap.

Today, WiGL is returning to StartEngine seeking to raise up to $20 million in a good example of an issuer pursuing a series of funding rounds via a securities crowdfunding offering.

WiGL has already raised just under $4 million, backed by 2510 investors. WiGL is selling equity in the company at a pre-money valuation of $146.59 million.
