Your Community Funds Your Growth
The alternative to traditional small business funding.
Since our launch in September 2020, the Equivesto portal has raised hundreds of thousands.
We have helped founders in various industries get equitable access to growth capital.
AIRO.LIFE
$43,441 of $20,000
Ever heard of a free phone with free data plan? Before AIRO.LIFE, neither had we. We love that they will be using the BE FREE Phone as a means to access information and evidence based research for the education, energy, and communications sectors. Not only is their mission great, but they also have a loyal community that helped them get 217% overfunded.
Cordelia’s Locket
$28,205 of $10,000
These 3 powerhouses joined forces to bring Squamish a business with a new hive style business model called Cordelia's Locket - an oceanfront wine bar and deli. Their vision of elevating diverse women in hospitality resonated with us, their community and many investors on our portal as they were 282% overfunded.
Award Pooll
$52,565 of $50,000
Award Pool is a family-founded esport management platform that was looking to allow their users to not only game with them but own a piece of them at a low entry point. Equity crowdfunding was a no brainer for this community-focused startup and we are happy to have been part of their funding journey.
Element79
$41,082 of $25,000
Element79 is a Canadian-based Gold exploration company focused on the acquisition and development of high potential Gold assets. Through the contributions of their supporters and their community, they raised almost twice their goal!
Why Equity Crowdfunding
Here are the top 3 reasons why thousands of companies around the world rely on equity crowdfunding.
Access to Capital
No need to rely on banks. Both accredited and non-accredited investors who believe in your business can now back it.
Dedicated Investors
More than capital, companies gain loyal investors who want to see them win and who will be open to providing valuable feedback.
Exposure
A digital campaign makes it easier for investors to spread the word. This results in more people knowing about your brand.
