Why founders run their Reg CF on DealMaker
A predictable process, end to end
You should not need a securities lawyer on speed dial to raise from your own customers. DealMaker Securities acts as your broker-dealer of record, Form C preparation follows a defined checklist, and your raise follows a timeline you can plan a business around: about 60 days from kickoff to live offering.
Financial statement preparation is the most common source of delay, so we start it first.
Kickoff to live offering
Form CYour raise, on your website
Marketplace platforms list you next to hundreds of competing deals and market other offerings to your investors. On DealMaker, your raise lives at invest.yourcompany.com. Your brand, your story, your traffic, and every investor relationship stays yours.
Your offering page
On your domainCheckout your supporters will actually finish
No third-party account creation, no wall of suitability questions. Your supporters go from interested to invested in under 60 seconds, paying by card, ACH, or wire. When your investors are your customers and fans, friction is the difference between a maxed-out raise and a stalled one.

A clean cap table, even with thousands of investors
Reg CF allows a crowdfunding vehicle that consolidates your retail investors into a single line on your cap table. Future institutional investors see one entry, not four thousand. Rolling closes let you access funds monthly while the campaign runs.

In their words
What mattered most to me wasn't just the capital, it was who it came from and what it cost. Virtually all our investors were Flyover readers long before they invested. That led to an incredibly low cost of capital, and a strong signal of trust.

We wanted people who love great coffee and believe in what we're building to have a real stake in this story. Our investor community has become our most authentic advocates, and that's exactly the kind of growth that can't be manufactured.

Twenty years of R&D went into getting here, and we're just getting started. The people investing in Timeplast aren't looking for a quick exit. Neither are we. We're building toward something much bigger.

Questions founders ask
Who can invest?
−
Anyone. Reg CF is open to both accredited and non-accredited investors, and you can market the offering publicly.
How long until I can launch?
+
About 60 days from kickoff, driven mostly by financial statement preparation and Form C filing.
Do I need audited financials?
+
Two years of GAAP financials, reviewed or audited depending on raise size. Many first-time issuers only need reviewed statements.
Will thousands of small investors mess up my cap table?
+
No. A crowdfunding vehicle consolidates your Reg CF investors into a single cap table entry.
What if I want to raise more than $5M?
+
Graduate to Reg A+ for up to $75M per year. It is the most common path on DealMaker, and your investor community and campaign data carry over, so the second raise starts warm.
Can I raise from accredited investors at the same time?
+
Yes. A parallel Reg D offering can run alongside your Reg CF with proper disclosure.
