The right raise type for you

## Can Wefunder support a Series A or later raise? Yes. Wefunder works at every stage — pre-seed all the way through Series C and beyond. We've helped raise capital for VC-backed companies, companies with notable angel investors, and growth-stage founders running their first community round. See [our explore page for venture-backed and notable-angel-backed companies](https://wefunder.com/explore/venture_backed_notable_angels) for a sense of who's raised here. The variety is wide — early-stage moonshots next to companies with seven-figure ARR and big-name cap tables. ## Which raise structure makes sense for a larger round? It depends on the goal: - **Regulation CF (Community Round)** caps at $5M per 12-month period. Best when you want a broad community of small-to-mid-size investors who become brand advocates, customers, and referrers. You can raise up to $5M from anyone (no accreditation required), which is unique to Reg CF. - **Private Round (Regulation D)** is for accredited investors only. By default, a Private Round on Wefunder is a **Reg D 506(b)** — you cannot generally solicit or publicly advertise it. **506(c)** (which allows public solicitation) is supported only on a case-by-case basis for specific approved situations. - **Running a Reg CF and a Reg D in parallel is not common.** It is supported in certain cases after the Community Round is already live and clears $5M. The parallel Reg D in that scenario has to be a **506(c)** — and 506(c) is only approved for specific cases on top of a successful Reg CF raise. Email **launch@wefunder.com** for details. If you're not sure which to use, [Maximum fundraising limits under Reg CF, Reg D, and Reg A+](https://help.wefunder.com/article/3c995b98-maximum-fundraising-limits-under-reg-cf-reg-d-and-reg-a) covers the raise caps. ## Will a Wefunder raise look bad to future VCs? This is the #1 worry founders raise. The short answer: not anymore. Top-tier VCs have invested into rounds with prior Wefunder community-round participants. The cap-table mechanics (SPVs that aggregate investors into a single line) were specifically designed to keep VCs comfortable. See [Why startups use SPVs](https://help.wefunder.com/article/7c14e78d-why-startups-use-spvs). The companies on our [venture-backed list](https://wefunder.com/explore/venture_backed_notable_angels) are evidence: founders raised on Wefunder and later closed VC rounds at higher valuations. ## What if my round is bigger than $5M? That depends on the situation. The $5M figure is the annual cap for a Community Round (Reg CF). If you clear $5M on a successful Reg CF raise, we can consider opening a 506(c) Private Round for specific approved cases on top of it. Email **launch@wefunder.com** with your stage, target raise size, and the context of your current raise — we'll let you know if a 506(c) makes sense for you. ## Bottom line Wefunder isn't just for early-stage. The default Private Round is a Reg D 506(b), which requires existing relationships with accredited investors and does not allow public solicitation. 506(c) — which allows public solicitation — is approved case-by-case. Email **launch@wefunder.com** with your stage, target raise size, and lead-investor situation — we'll point you at the right structure.
