In order to attract the type of high-quality companies currently fundraising on Wefunder, we've were forced to figure out how to take away all of the downsides. The most important thing we do is manage a fund that aggregates all of the smaller investors. These investors are actually Wefunder's investors. Wefunder then makes one investment into the startup.
