We are thrilled to announce another exciting partnership, this time with Wefunder, a global crowdfunding platform that allows institutional and individual angel investors (like you) to invest as low as $100 in startups and small businesses you believe in from around the world, not just technology but across many other SME industries.
Yes! We are absolutely stoked about this partnership for GetEquity, and for our community.
Why the partnership?
As you know, GetEquity is focused on giving African based startups an opportunity to raise capital from their community, and investors at large.
So, Wefunder and GetEquity have partnered to offer investors based in Africa the ability to invest in African-based startups who’ve opened up community round allocations for global investors on Wefunder. Win-Win, for startups and for investors.
GetEquity will co-list a portion of the startup’s allocation on our platform. This allows investors across Africa to invest in these startups through GetEquity which makes use of African-focused payment platforms without the need for a dollar account.
This also facilitates a seamless raise for these startups who would have access to a wider range of investors from both platforms. GetEquity Founders can also have the opportunity to raise via Wefunder and have access to investors abroad here
“We have always been big on partnerships and collaborations that create more value and opportunities for our users and for our community and this partnership with WeFunder gives us a chance to do a lot more for startups, individuals and institutional investors across Africa, we are really excited about the possibilities ” Jude Dike, CEO, GetEquity.
“The team at Wefunder could not be more excited than we are right now to be working with Jude, Temitope, Lamide, and the rest of the team at GetEquity. We believe this partnership will allow us the ability to double down on our charter. Our mission is to reduce the barriers to investing in dreams. Create more value and opportunities by helping more founders on the continent raise capital from investors in their ecosystems. Allowing everyone the right to invest in what they believe in. This pivotal partnership with GetEquity does that!” Adie Akuffo-Afful, Head of Venture Partners at Wefunder
