Regulation Crowdfunding

    Reg CF Crowdfunding, Raise Up to $5M From Anyone, Including Non-Accredited

    We set up your Form C, pair you with a FINRA-registered funding portal, and run the marketing campaign that actually fills your raise.

    TL;DR

    Reg CF (Regulation Crowdfunding) lets you raise up to $5M per year from accredited AND non-accredited investors, but you must use a FINRA-registered funding portal. We handle Form C, the financial reviews, portal selection, and the campaign that converts traffic into checks.

    • Form C drafted in 2 weeks
    • We pre-vet 4 funding portals for fit
    • Marketing campaign included
    • Accredited + non-accredited welcome

    The problem

    98% of Reg CF campaigns fail to hit even 50% of their target, not because of the SEC, but because founders treat the funding portal as a marketing channel. It isn't. The portal is a checkout page. If you don't drive your own traffic and pre-build a wait list, your campaign dies in the first 30 days when momentum signals collapse.

    What we do

    We treat your Reg CF like a product launch: pre-campaign waitlist building, Form C drafted to convert (not just comply), portal selection based on category fit and fee structure, paid + organic campaign for the live window, and a closing-week push that converts the fence-sitters.

    What's included

    • Form C drafted with conversion-focused narrative
    • CPA-reviewed financials (intro to reviewing CPAs included)
    • Funding portal selection (Wefunder, StartEngine, Republic, DealMaker)
    • Pre-campaign waitlist landing page
    • Investor pitch video script + storyboard
    • Live campaign marketing (paid ads, email, organic)
    • Bad actor disqualification check + EDGAR filings
    • Post-close investor reporting setup

    How it works

    1. 1

      Eligibility & strategy (Week 1)

      We confirm you qualify (US entity, not a fund, not a reporting company), set the target raise, and pick the right portal.

    2. 2

      Form C + financials (Week 2–4)

      Form C drafted, CPA review of GAAP financials, bad actor checks completed.

    3. 3

      Pre-launch waitlist (Week 4–6)

      Landing page live, paid traffic to capture 500–2,000 reservations before the campaign opens.

    4. 4

      Live campaign (Week 6–18)

      Portal goes live. We run the daily marketing engine, ads, email drip, founder Q&As, social proof.

    5. 5

      Close & comply (Week 18+)

      Cap table updated, ongoing reporting requirements (Form C-AR) calendared.

    Frequently asked questions

    $5M per rolling 12-month period (raised from $1.07M in March 2021). You can run consecutive campaigns, but the cap is per issuer, not per offering.
    Depends on raise size. Under $124K: certified by CEO. $124K–$1.235M: CPA-reviewed (not audited). Over $1.235M: audited financials required, unless it's your first Reg CF, then reviewed financials suffice.
    Wefunder (largest investor base, consumer-friendly), StartEngine (heaviest marketing, higher fees), Republic (curated, harder to get on), DealMaker (white-labeled, you control the brand). We help you pick based on category and check size.
    Legal + financial review: $8K–$25K. Portal fees: 5–7% of raised capital. Marketing: $20K–$150K depending on target. Our flat $3,339 covers strategy, Form C drafting support, and waitlist build, portal fees are pass-through.
    Yes, this is called a 'side-by-side' raise. Accredited investors go through your 506(c) offering (often at better terms), non-accredited go through Reg CF. We structure both simultaneously when raise size justifies it.
    Minimum 21 days, maximum 12 months. Most successful campaigns run 60–90 days with two distinct momentum pushes (launch week + closing week).
