Why your round isn't on the Explore page

## The $50k requirement To show up on Wefunder's Explore page, you need to hit $50,000 in commitments. This includes testing-the-waters reservations or actual investments made on Wefunder. The full $50k has to come from Wefunder. Money raised outside the platform doesn't count toward this number, even if it's on the same terms. ## Why $50k? Think about it from an investor's perspective. You're browsing Wefunder's Explore page looking for campaigns to invest in, and you find one that looks cool. But it shows $0 raised. What does that tell you? It probably feels extra risky. The $50k threshold creates a baseline of credibility. It shows that other people have already decided to back you, which makes new investors feel more confident. It also needs to be all on-platform because we want to treat every company fairly. All companies on Wefunder follow the same rules - no shortcuts based on off-platform raises. ## How to get there The solution is straightforward: go get your first $50k in commitments on Wefunder. Once you hit that number, we automatically run a compliance review, and boom - you're on Explore. You can elect to go live in the "All Raises" section and other relevant carousels. Once you're there, you'll start getting organic traffic from investors browsing the platform. So bottom line: if you're not seeing yourself on Explore yet, it's because you haven't hit $50k on Wefunder. Get there, and you're in.
