Read Ezell is the Southeast Growth Lead at Wefunder, a platform that can be described as the “Kickstarter of Investing” - allowing anyone to invest as little as $100 into an early stage company. Through Wefunder’s platform, founders can allow their early supporters and community to be a part of their cap table and potentially earn a return on their investment.

Our conversation with Read covers the change in regulation that allows non-accredited investors to invest in startups, how founders can successfully raise capital on Wefunder, and the dynamics of early stage capital in the south.
