How does a startup graduate to the home page?

Every company raising funds on Republic's crowdfunding portal (OpenDeal Portal LLC) is viewable on our All Companies page. But how does a company conducting a Reg CF offering make it to the home page and to the top navigation section under the “For investors” label? We use objective criteria to graduate a company: A company graduates to the home page when:

(1) The company raises more than $25,000; and 

(2) The company has not requested to be left off of the home page; such request may be withdrawn at any time requirement (1) is met.

Appearing on the home page is not an endorsement of a company's offering. Companies that appear on the home page are offered the opportunity to 

(i) have their campaign's launch announced via an email to Republic's user base 

(ii) be featured in the Superheroes blog; and

(iii) be featured in Republic's social media advertisements.

Certain companies may appear on other landing pages, these are meant to objectively identify which companies are participating in certain programs Republic participates with. For example, offerings providing real estate investment opportunities will always appear on the Republic Real Estate landing page. Appearing on a topic specific page is not an endorsement of a company's offering.

Companies conducting offerings with or by Fig Publishing, Inc., OpenDeal Broker LLC, Republic Advisory Services, Republic Real Estate or other affiliates of OpenDeal Portal LLC are not subject to this policy and may appear on the home page or nowhere publicly accessible on the site. 

Republic reserves the right to change this policy without notice, this policy was last updated on September 15, 2020. Version 2.0.
