    The Nest Egg — with Niles Lichtenstein, founder of Nestment

    In this episode, we interview Niles Lichtenstein (linkedin.com/in/nileslichtenstein), founder and CEO of Nestment — a San Francisco-based startup helping first-time homebuyers hack the outdated housing system. A three-time startup founder, Niles saw the massive, growing problem of declining home-ownership in America, and determined to do something about it. And being committed to expanding economic opportunity for more citizens, it made perfect sense for Nestment to invite their community to invest in a community round. To check out their Wefunder page, visit wefunder.com/nestment.

    Nixing Nosebleeds — with Liz Clayborne, founder of NasaClip

    In this episode, we interview the co-founder and CEO of NasaClip, Liz Clayborne. Liz had the idea for NasaClip — a simple device that stops nosebleeds — while working as an ER doctor. And in case starting a startup isn't enough of a challenge, she still works several shifts in the ER each week. After raising a $1M pre-seed round, Liz and her co-founder Romil Patel recently raised $500K on Wefunder, as part of a larger round. In this interview, Liz discusses how and why they did it.

    SenSational — with Jim Iversen, founder of Sen-Jam

    In this episode, we interview the co-founder and CEO of Sen-Jam, Jim Iversen. A community round veteran, Jim has run a number of Regulation Crowdfunding raises — both on Wefunder, and other inferior platforms. (Boooooo!!!!). Of the thousands of founders that have raised capital on Wefunder over the years, Jim stands out as someone who's deeply committed to transparently communicating with his investors, and building community around his company. One of the best examples of this, is that wherever he travels around the country, he reaches out to any of his investors in that city, and grabs a drink or dinner with them. You've got to love it.

    Take Your Shot

    In this episode, we interview the founder of Pirouette Pharma, Conor Cullinane. After graduating from Y Combinator's S21 batch, and raising from angels and VCs, Pirouette launched a community round on Wefunder in 2024. It was one of the largest ever — raising $7.9 million from a combination of Regulation Crowdfunding and Regulation D. You can view Pirouette's page here (wefunder.com/pirouette), and the 1,072 investor notes here (wefunder.com/pirouette/buzz). One of our favorites: Stanley Forward, a semi-retired cardiologist, simply said he was investing "for my grandchildren". This is what community rounds are all about.

    Welcome to Life in the (Community) Round

    This week, we talk with Micha Mikailian, the CEO of Geoship. Towards the end of 2024, Geoship closed on $1.9 million in capital, raised from 1,151 investors on Wefunder. A serial entrepreneur, Micha has raised loads o dough for a number of companies he's founded, and been involved in down the years. And he's also raising from institutional investors for Geoship — in parallel to his customers and community. But he also sees great value in inviting his community to become owners and investors in Geoship — which he articulates beautifully in this episode.
