Republic is discovery by the crowd; Angels Partners is targeted outreach from your own inbox to the specific angels who lead rounds, so you arrive on Republic with the anchor commitment that makes the campaign credible on day one. The one thing Republic cannot give you is a targeted list of anchor investors: that is exactly what the investor database is for.
A Republic campaign converts when a serious investor has already committed. Angels Partners is where you line up those anchor angels, reuse every asset, and turn public momentum into a closed round.
Target the specific angels most likely to back a public raise in your sector, reach them from your own inbox, and secure the day-one commitments that make a Republic campaign credible.
The deck, financial model and video you build for Republic are the same assets angels expect. Build them once and run the public campaign and the private raise from one AI fundraising CRM, not a spreadsheet.
After the campaign, convert engaged backers and near-misses into a follow-on angel round, and keep every investor relationship long after your Republic raise closes.
Line up the angels who commit first, reuse every campaign asset, and run the whole raise from one pipeline. That is how a Republic campaign actually closes.

For a Regulation Crowdfunding raise, Republic charges a 7 percent cash commission plus 2 percent in securities on a successful raise, plus pass-through costs of roughly 1,500 dollars for the Form C filing and about 1,500 dollars for escrow. Confirm current terms on Republic before you commit.
Both are leading US Reg CF platforms. WeFunder leads on dollars raised and a community ethos; Republic is multi-asset with a huge global member base and public listings. Either way, the campaign closes on the anchor angels you line up first through Angels Partners.
Backers can invest from as little as about 10 to 50 dollars depending on the deal. For founders, what matters is arriving with committed capital, since campaigns reward early momentum.
Yes, and most successful founders do. Secure anchor angels privately through Angels Partners, then open the Republic campaign to the crowd, reusing the same deck, model and video.
