Crowdfunding with Glassless

Everything you need to know about crowdfunding, Republic Europe and how to get ready for the Glassless campaign.

The basics

What is crowdfunding?

Equity crowdfunding lets individuals invest in private companies, usually online, in exchange for a small share of the business.

Unlike buying shares of a publicly traded company on a stock exchange, shares in a private startup usually can't be sold easily, and their value isn't set by a public market.

  • Startup investments are higher-risk and can be illiquid
  • You can lose some or all of your investment
  • Returns are not guaranteed

Motivations

Why do people invest through crowdfunding?

  • Access to private companies at an early stage
  • The opportunity to support businesses and founders they believe in
  • Potential to participate in a company's future growth
  • Exposure to private investments as part of a diversified portfolio

These potential benefits come with significant risks. Only invest what you can afford to lose.

The platform

Why Republic Europe?

Glassless will run its campaign on Republic Europe.

Republic Europe provides the platform for:

  • Investor onboarding
  • Campaign information
  • The investment process
  • Required verification
  • Investment documentation
  • Payment

Practical steps

Get ready before we launch

You don't need to wait for the campaign to launch. Setting up your Republic Europe account in advance means that when the campaign goes live, you can focus on reviewing the Glassless opportunity rather than starting onboarding.
