How do I know if my financials are GAAP compliant?

GAAP refers to "generally accepted accounting principles", an industry standard for reporting financial information. To fundraise using Regulation Crowdfunding, you must submit your financial statements in GAAP format.

[VeloCHARAPtor]

If you're still not sure, it's best to check with a CPA. We recommend using Kristine Rasmussen from Assure (krasmussen@assure.co). Most startups that have raised on Republic work with Kristine.

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

How much can I invest?

[Neverlessyou]

If either your annual income or your net worth is less than $107,000, you can invest up to the greater of either $2,200 or 5% of the lesser of your annual income or net worth during any 12-month period.

If both your annual income and your net worth are equal to or more than $107,000, you can invest up to 10% of annual income or net worth—whichever is lesser up to a maximum of $107,000 during any 12-month period.

Reminder: This is your annual limit for all Title III investments—not just those on Republic.

How does the waitlist work?

If the campaign reaches the maximum goal, no more investments can get accepted and all following investment commitments get added to the waitlist.

If one of the earlier investors decides to cancel or doesn’t fund their investment in time, the first person with the matching or lower desired allocation on the waitlist will get their spot.

For example, If space opens up for $1,000 and your waitlisted investment is $1,500, you won't get in, but the person behind you with a $900 waitlisted investment will get in, and the next person with a $100 waitlisted investment or less will get in as well.

[VincentoDoraimon]

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.

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.
