Wefunder is echoing what we are hearing from other investment crowdfunding platforms that issuers are able to raise the capital they need while new investors continue to sign up and support early-stage ventures.

According to the Wefunder website, 438 issuers have raised over $160 million since the platform launched. The bulk of that amount was via Reg CF at $115.8 million, followed by Reg D at $35.2 million and Reg A+ at $9.8 million.

Wefunder hosts a page of results for some of its portfolio companies which is available here.
