With four very successful online fundraising initiatives, the founder of Society3 can be considered the inventors of equity based crowd funding. Introduced in 1997, four startups successfully raised seed rounds and all four had an exit later on. With close to $5 Million we raised one of the largest online rounds still today. Today we introduce the next generation online fundraising platform – Society3 FundersMart.
