Thanks!

1. They get you signed up and in the contract it doesn’t say anything about your commitment to bringing a set number of investors or amount of investment. Then, they ask you to convince them that you will bring the first $300K to the campaign by yourself. If your plan is not convincing for them, they excuse themselves and cancel your campaign after weeks. So, don’t waste your time.

2. It’s very expensive. They’ll take 3.5% of your company plus $70k (based on $1.07M goal) for just listing you on their website. Also, they force you to your lackluster cap table software.

3. Every single VC I talk to, literally tells me if we raise money with any crowdfunding platform, they won’t be interested in investing anymore. Not sure why, but it is what it. You raise CF, you should expect to raise the next rounds with them forever.

4. It takes days to get an answer from them. They have internal communication issues.

5. They’re extremely rude and unprofessional. Trustpilot doesn’t allow explaining.

I would say, stay away from these crowdfunding platforms. Go straight to VCs, angel investors, or use kickstarter or indiegogo so that you don’t use anything. You’ll keep your company and grow. You’ll just have to give your backers some perks. They deserve it!
The salesman is a good guy though. He doesn’t belong there.
