Wefunder's 7.5% fee draws investor scrutiny

Original: Платформа для ангел-інвестицій бере 7,5% від суми раунду лише за інтродукцію інвестора. Wefunder утримує 7,5% готівкою п

Angel investment platforms are being criticised for charging substantial fees on fundraising rounds. Wefunder takes 7.5% in cash plus 2% of the company's capital as a warrant on every dollar raised through the platform, while Republic charges 6% in cash and 2% in capital for Reg CF offerings. Commenters argue such costs are steep merely for introducing investors to startups.

Why now: Debate over whether equity crowdfunding platforms' fees are justified for what is essentially an investor introduction.
