I've just found out about wefunder.com – a platform where you can invest, even small amounts, into different types of founders/projects. For instance, I got an email from a mobile app for offline communities I used some time ago, saying they’ve started a round there. It reminds me a lot of token and app launches, but it also makes me think how crypto token launches look sketchy compared to this. On wefunder, I can instantly see all the personal details about the founders, project metrics (including all financials), investors, and more. I get what are the big benefits of raising with crypto token launches: * Liquid markets – both investors and founders can profit much faster * Low regulated space – people around the world can raise money from anyone, even without disclosing much (and pump and dump their own tokens) But despite those benefits, when I look at how fundraising pages are structured on this platform, I totally get why crypto is perceived as something shady by most people
