For example, you had a $1,000 investment finalized and you later invested an additional $600. You can now:

increase your total investment to $1,800 ($1,000 finalized + $600 new + $200 increase),
decrease your total investment to $1,200 ($1,200 locked + $200 new),
cancel your $600 investment (prior to the cancellation deadline) and be left with the original $1,000 investment
but you could not reduce your total investment below $1,000.

Remember, if you want the ability to raise over $107,000, you must have your GAAP finances reviewed by an independent CPA.

Investing on Republic is free for Investors.

Companies pay only if they successfully reach their funding goal: 6% of the total funds raised in cash, and 2% as a Crowd Safe.

Companies raising on Republic may also use the proceeds of their successful
financing to pay for the escrow agent and other transaction-related fees. Related: how much does it cost to launch a campaign?

Example using a Crowd Safe: Equity Startup, Inc. raises $100,000 at $10M valuation and hits its funding goal, effectively selling an equivalent of 1% of its equity. Republic takes $6,000 and Crowd Safe with a $2,000 face value (0.02% in an equity equivalent).

You are limited from selling or transferring your Token DPA for the first 12 months, unless selling back to the company, accredited investors and the like. See general selling restrictions. Additional restrictions may apply for Canadian investors.1

With a standard SAFT, investors must wait for a public token sale or distribution by an issuing company to receive tokens, otherwise their right to a return on their investment can be left unfulfilled, possibly forever. In contrast, the Token DPA provides a method for investors to either receive part or all of their principal back, earn a cash return or receive the desired tokens when certain events occur. It should be noted, these protections rely on the company issuing the Token DPA abiding by its terms, there can be no guarantee of this. For example, if a company issuing a Token DPA spends all of their capital before investors’ right to request a return of capital occurs, investors’ could force the company into insolvency when they make the request.

Credit Card: ~3.5%
If you would like your investors to have the convenience of using a credit or debit card for investment a ~3.5% fee is charged by the service provider. For example if an investor uses their card for a $100 investment your fee would be $3.50. This would only apply to investments made with a credit or debit card, and only if the campaign is successful. Please note, currently Token DPA offerings cannot utilize credit card processing.
