Raise Capital

Your customers are your best investors.

Jean-Marc co-founded DealPoint Capital, one of North America’s first equity crowdfunding platforms, and has spent more than a decade raising community capital for housing, villages and the companies that build them. Geoship funded five years of development through repeated crowdfunding rounds before closing its Series A, with roughly 3,000 customers who are also shareholders. That model works for villages too.

Recommended platforms include;

Canada: Frontfundr, Vested or Equivesto

For professional fundraising groups choose DealPoint. Whether you are a company raising equity, or a community organization/innovation centre, angel network/VC or finance professionals.

Fundraising isn’t easy. I finally have my lead investor and I am filling the round with my network of angel investors, customers and advisors. My lead doesn’t want me to have that many investors on the cap table (no one likes a messy cap table), so I turn to DealPoint’s syndicate solution to round up all the investors into one special purpose vehicle (SPV). The investors purchase units in the limited partnership SPV and the partnership makes the investment into my company.
