Time really does fly. It seems like just yesterday that we opened up the doors to our crowdfunding campaign, allowing you to own your own share of Defynance for as little as $100. And if you didn't take advantage of that opportunity then, it's not too late. Our crowdfunding campaign is still alive and kicking. But hurry, because this window of opportunity will close on January 29th, 2021.
What is Crowdfunding?
You've probably heard of sites like Kickstarter, which allows you to put money into an idea to help build it off the ground. That's crowdfunding, getting a crowd of people to fund an idea or a project. However, not all crowdfunding is focused on giving you items for certain cash payments.
There's also equity crowdfunding, where companies can sell shares of their company in return for some capital. In this kind of crowdfunding, you actually own a share of a company, just like when you purchase stocks in a company. This also means that the share is worth a part of the company, so it's price can change over time. And if the startup is successful, you could sell those shares for a huge profit.
Why Invest in Defynance?
Over the last three months, Defynance has offered equity in their company through their Netcapital crowdfunding campaign. This allows you to have a share of the company and invest in an idea that you believe in. Investing now can also help push us down the path to success. An investment in Defynance tells us that you believe in us and what we're trying to build. And every dollar that we raise is an extra dollar that we have to help eliminate the student debt crisis. We hope that it's a goal you can get behind.
But if that's not enough to convince you to invest, we also have a great team who's dedicated to solving the student debt crisis. Our founder and CEO, Farrukh Siddiqui, has over 30 years of experience in financial services and social responsibility. He basically eats, breathes, and sweats this stuff. And the rest of our team is just as great and have been working day in and day out to solve this crisis and bring the best solution possible. Together we can solve the student debt crisis.
TechStars?
One other reason to invest is that we just got accepted into TechStars accelerator program! We're really excited to be joining this great program and hope that you can get excited too. TechStars has helped many startups to succeed and thrive on their own through their three month program. With the program starting today, we're excited to learn as much as possible so we can continue to grow. TechStars wants to help entrepreneurs succeed and we know that their expertise can help us grow. With their backing, we know that the sky is the limit.
So if you haven't yet, make sure you invest in our crowdfunding campaign before it's too late.
