For founders
initPub gives you a way to raise capital from a community of investors — without giving up board seats, signing complex term sheets, or waiting for a VC's calendar.
Why initPub
- Raise capital without traditional VC gatekeeping or dilutive terms
- No equity taken by the platform — pay a flat listing fee per offering
- Build a community of investors who are also your early adopters
- Full control over offering terms: price, supply, min/max per investor
- Transparent cap table — see exactly who holds your shares
- Issue dividends and communicate corporate actions directly to shareholders
- Secondary market liquidity gives investors an exit — making your offering more attractive
- Low documentation threshold: prove your startup is real, not its legal form
