A capital raise that runs like ecommerce

All three regulations let you market your raise publicly and accept investments online. That makes a raise a funnel: ads bring investors in, your story sells them, checkout closes them in under 60 seconds. And like ecommerce, the customer experience matters.

Checkout that converts

Marketplace platforms put 10 to 15 suitability questions between your investor and their investment. On DealMaker, investors answer an optional suitability questionnaire and go from interested to invested in under 60 seconds, on your website, under your brand.

You own your data. You own your investors. You own your future.

On marketplaces, your investor list is their profit center. They gate what you see and cross-sell your investors other deals. On DealMaker, every investor who touches your raise is yours forever. No one else markets to them.

Full-funnel visibility built in

See which ads, emails, and channels drive actual investments, not just clicks. Retarget abandoned checkouts. Double down on what works, mid-campaign.

One team, end to end

Technology, broker-dealer, transfer agent, and an in-house marketing agency that has raised $1B+ for clients. No handoffs, no vendor wrangling, no data lost in translation.

Founder-friendly terms

Set your own valuation. Keep your shareholder loans. No forced debt conversion. No equity dilution to the platform. Our revenue comes when you raise capital, so our incentives are aligned.

Questions founders ask

If I raise Reg CF first, can I upgrade to Reg A+ later?−

Yes. It's the most common graduation path. Your investor community and campaign data carry over, so your second raise starts warm, not from zero.

Which regulation is best?+

There's no universal answer. It depends on raise size, audience, and timeline. Rough guide: Reg CF up to $5M, Reg A+ from $5M to $75M, Reg D 506c for accredited rounds of any size. Strategy matters more than size; talk to our team.

How do I know if I'm ready for Reg A+ vs. Reg CF?+

Rough benchmarks: Reg CF for $500K to $5M, Reg A+ for $10M and above. But strategy, company stage and size, and advertising viability matter more than size alone.

What if I want to raise beyond $75M?+

Layer Reg A+ ($75M) and Reg D (unlimited), followed by a greenshoe Reg CF ($5M). Or pursue traditional VC or IPO. We help with all paths and our customers have done them all.

Do I need audited financial statements?+

Reg A+: yes, for the previous two years. Reg CF: reviewed or audited financial statements are required for the previous two years, depending on raise size. Reg D 506c: no financial statement requirement.
