Great platform for startup funding. Great platform connecting startups and crowd funding. Interface is easy to use. Wish to see more ways to pay back investors/share profits/dividends, this will encourage them to keep investing.

The Republic User Experience I believe Republic's platform (compared to others) in the crowdfunding space is probably the best. I only gave it 4 stars for the fact that many of the campaigns are food, clothing, or beverage related. Would be nice to see other options (deep tech, climate, supply chain, etc.).

Smooth and seamless Smooth and seamless. Fees are relatively high because even after linking my bank account through Plaid, I cannot generally process purchases without using my debit card linked to the account, with results in higher fees. Still, the platform is a good means to learn of or connect with good opportunities to invest in private entities.

Even though the Republic platform… Even though the Republic platform claims to conduct due diligence checks before listing a company for crowdfunding, over 95% of these companies cease to exist or perform below average. Many of them fail to provide any updates post fundraising. Therefore, I strongly advise exercising caution when investing in startups, particularly through this platform. The failure rate is not 80%, but rather 95% or even higher.Also republic never give an update on status of starups on users dashboard. So we don't come to know that the investment exist or not!

Republic is a good investing platform Republic is a good investing platform. I have had at least four investments on the platform and it has always been easy to use. At one point, I used my business email to invest in a company instead of my personal email. This caused some confusion about one of my investments. Republic figured out the issue and got me back on track. Republic is my go-to investing platform.
