From the article: "Investors are only charged the small accounting, state entity, and filing fees FundersClub has to pay and nothing more. Otherwise it’s free." Apparently, though, they charge 12% of your investment (at least, it was 12% for my test values of 2.5k, 5k, and 10k): "Investment Amount: $5,000. Administrative fees: $600 ($85/yr x 7 year average fund life). Total to be charged: $5,600."
