How do you choose Superheroes to feature on your blog?
Companies raising funds with Republic are offered the opportunity to be featured in our blog's superheroes section once they've graduated to our home page. Features are on a first come, first served basis. We generally publish one blog post per week. Many companies choose to not participate in the blog; appearing on the blog is not an endorsement of a companies offering. We also feature entrepreneurs not raising on Republic if they have an interesting story or are furthering our mission. |

How do I calculate my net worth?
Your net worth is the sum of all your assets, minus all your liabilities. For purposes of investing on Republic, the value of any primary residence should not be included in your assets. Similarly, any mortgages or other loans on that residence do not count as a liability (up to the fair market value of your home). |

What is the AngelList family of startups?
In 2016, Republic spun out of AngelList, a community of startups and accredited investors that makes fundraising more efficient. When Title III equity crowdfunding regulations were enacted, Republic adopted a similar mission to make fundraising and investing easier for startups and all investors––especially unaccredited ones. Ken Nguyen, Republic’s CEO, is the former General Counsel of AngelList and co-founded Republic with Paul Menchov, a former technology officer of AngelList and co-founder/CTO of CoinList. |

Token DPA — an interest bearing loan that can be converted to tokens
When you join a project on Republic Crypto, you typically receive a security called the Token DPA (Debt Payable by Assets) from the company you loaned money to. As a loan contract between you and a blockchain startup, the Token DPA is the right to receive interest on your loan or have your loan paid back in the future with the token. The ability to have your loan paid back in tokens is contingent on a trigger event, meaning you will not receive tokens unless a token distribution event occurs. The Token DPA allows investors to earn interest on the money they lend blockchain companies. With the value of principal of the loan rising due to interest and a promised discount on tokens, investors who hold a Token DPA can receive an advantaged rate on Tokens after a period of time, token distribution offering occurs and the company uses the money responsibility. Companies provide check-points when investors can request to be paid back, in cash. It should be noted that payment can only be made if the company has retained assets sufficient to service the debt or made money. |
