Raise capital for your business
Reach everyday investors - not just VCs and accredited investors - and raise up to $5 million under Regulation Crowdfunding without giving up control the way a traditional VC round might require. RealRise reviews every business and its principals before approval; not every applicant is approved to raise on our platform.
Diligence
RealRise conducts eligibility and background review of your business and its principals before any offering is approved to list.

Once approved, your offering goes live to our investor base. Track your raise, investor communications, and funds through the platform.
