Apply for Fundraising

Mr. Crowd is an equity crowdfunding portal for US entrepreneurs. If you need capital for business expansion, equipment purchases, facility build-out, or next year's operating expenses, we can help you raise up to 5 million USD in a 12-month period, by selling part of your business to retail investors.

To help us do that, we may need further information from you and your business. Before you start, please read the following guide carefully, which can help you understand the fundraising process on Mr. Crowd.

Your application may take you some time to complete. All the information you provide is held confidentially.

Application Review (1 week)

The Application Review process is an assessment of an issuer's eligibility to conduct a crowdfunding offering and to complete the due diligence required under Regulation Crowdfunding. We try to understand the issuer's business operations, financials, compliance as well as funding needs. After the Application Review, we will notify the issuer whether the fundraising application is approved.

Securities Offering Preparation (1-2 weeks)

Once the Application Review process is finished and the issuer's fundraising application on Mr. Crowd is approved, the issuer can start working on its securities offering. This includes the preparation of the funding campaign page, the creation of cover video and multimedia. We provide necessary supports to assist the issuer to draft the offering materials (SEC Form C) and to submit required documents to the SEC.

Pre-Fundraising Period (1 week)

After filing Form C, but prior to the first day when securities are sold to investors, the issuer's funding campaign page will be accessible to the investing public and the issuer may receive questions from potential investors through Mr. Crowd that are publicly available on the portal. The management team has to answer these questions and address any inquiries from potential investors properly.

Fundraising (30-45 Days)

Once the Pre-Fundraising Period is finished, the fundraising process will be started! Investors registered with Mr. Crowd can buy the shares of the issuer during this period with investor funds being held in an escrow account maintained by an FDIC insured bank until closing. In this crucial period, the issuer needs to communicate with the potential investors to ensure the fundraising target can be achieved.

Successful Fundraising!

If the fundraising minimum target is reached, the offering will be ready to close and funds disbursed from escrow. However, this is not the end of the story. Mr. Crowd serves as an investor relationship platform for successfully funded companies to communicate with their investors through the issuer's post-campaign page, the news channel and the corporate Q&A section. Building a relationship with investors is critical and developing a communication strategy to keep investors aware of activities, status, and the needs of the issuer is paramount. A well-managed investor relationship is also crucial in attracting future investors. We provide the tools and channels to help issuers to build these relationships.
