Our take
Republic is an investment platform looking to democratize access to traditionally gatekept investment opportunities in startups, real estate, crypto, and gaming. It curates special deals for retail and accredited investors alike, and connects founders and entrepreneurs with a broader investor base.
Republic are developing into strategic and exciting areas that will cement and develop their market niche. They have acquired Fig, Compound, and NextSeed, and will also be expanding into hosting digital assets on their platform following the creation of their own flexible token presale instrument. This will let them tap into a growing market for crypto trading.
The SEC raised the regulation crowdfunding cap in 2021 by 400%, making crowdfunding a more attractive option for early and later-stage businesses. Because Republic were swift to capitalize on the regulatory easing, they have secured some of the platform’s quickest and highest value deals. Having since raised significant Series A funding, and with partners such as Binance, AngelList and Product Hunt, Republic’s prospects look strong.

Republic's product is always evolving and requires new features and enhancements. Being involved in finance, bitcoin, and other industries allows me to grow not just my skillset but also by experience in a wide range of subjects and fields that is normally more siloed in other engineering organizations.

Since it's evolving, there are always new things to have to learn. We've had several folks enter with a desire to jump into something, like crypto currency, who were able to work on crypto projects.
