@alphonse86 Hi Sean, thanks for the heads up. We contacted support yesterday because there was an issue with our launch and they resolved it today. You should be able to upvote now. Hope you're enjoying the product!
Congrats on launching on Product Hunt! The app is really well done and fills a huge gap in the startup environment. Excited to learn more and get involved.
@jelveh Thanks Ali, we're really excited about more early stage startups having the ability to potentially raise their friends and family round on Miventure!
Great to see you launch on ProductHunt today! What you're doing in this space in much needed and provides so much accessibility to lots of folks. Keep up the great work!
@tharejamudit Hi Mudit, thank you for your question. There are two types of crowdfunding, investment based and non investment based. We're on the investment based side, similar to CC, but in the US. Investment crowdfunding is regulated by FINRA/SEC and there are supervisory funding portals must perform before they list a campaign. Kickstarter is on the non-investments based side and is not regulated because they offer rewards as opposed to securities to campaign backers. Gofundeme is another example of a non investment form of crowdfunding that is donation based as opposed to investment based. On Miventure you become an equity owner in the startup if the campaign is successful.
@petar-petrovic Thank you, we have an incredible teams that's been working really hard to make this awesome for founders and investors. We're glad so many people are able to finally experience it!
Conditioner is coming into the market as awareness and people are getting used to it, but it is very underrated and should be included in everyone’s daily routine. We are accustomed to varied problems due to pollution stress, genetic defects, chemical impacts, and whatnot, and just as oiling is important for healthy hair, shampooing and conditioning are important too.

@brandon_gregg Thanks for your feedback. Did you try to access this from your mobile device or desktop? The way the redirect link currently works is from an android phone, it takes you to the android store. From an iphone it takes you to the apple store and from desktop it takes you to the apple store. Regardless, this is really good feedback, we'll detect if a user is using desktop and send them to our marketing site going forward so no matter what device the user is on, we send them to the right spot! Thanks for your feedback
@brandon_gregg Thank you, we're working on a fix that from your desktop it'll take you to our website and from your phones it'll take you to the appropriate app store. Thanks again for pointing this out. We are also working on invest from website functionality and expect it to become available in the next 6-8 weeks!
@muntasir_rashid Thanks for your kind words, we have an amazing team! Currently we are only licensed and structured to support US legal entities. I suggest talking to Hannah Forbes on Linkedin, she's the EU crowdfunding platform expert and super helpful!
@saskisnerdtalk Hi Saski, thank you for your interest in the app! Currently we are only licensed and set up to allow people with a US tax ID to invest. You can still check out the app and explore all it's functionality without investing and we are exploring ways to allow international investors in our roadmap.
I downloaded your app from the app store, tried to sign in with apple login and when i put in my name and dob, it throws up an "oops something went wrong error" and pushes me back to the sign up page. Then when i pressed the sign up again with apple mail, it throws me straight into the app.
@miventure@andrew_reed2 Thanks, we'll take a look and make sure there's no issue. Feel free to send us feedback by hitting submit feedback in the menu once you explore everything! Have a great day.
Maybe the comparison to Robinhood is not appropriate for you (regarding their last "scandals"), but your product is really smart! I like the UX and the fundamental idea, very good job guys and thanks for sharing :)
@benoit_chambon Hi Benoit, we appreciate the feedback. Really where we feel there's a comparison is we've invested heavily in optimizing the user experience so anyone can easily understand the investment opportunities and sign up and invest in under 1 minute! We appreciate you checking it out and your kind words.
Well, need of the hour Jason. So excited to see your support structure for such ideas & executions. #startupinvesting Such a brilliant idea.
NB: Do post your growth journey in Indiehackers, which will bring you even more traction + submit it in r/startups (May month thread) + be active on r/startups & r/Entrepreneur/
I am a member of couple of slack groups who are into User Acquisition & Growth Hacks. No doubt for many of them this would be a great opportunity and for this startups guys it would be more sign ups & traction. Let me know if you are interested, will connect with them.
Sent you a message via LinkedIn.
All the very best. 😊 🙏
@achyuthan definitely interested, follow up with me via email jason@miventure.com. We also have a founders helping founders discord group if anyone would like to join it, please reach out.
Cool concept! Im wondering how the valuation of companies work in such an early stages? Also is it based on SAFE notes? I have a startup of my own and am interested both from the founder side as well as investor side. Cheers!
@christian_dooley Hi Christian, thanks so much for your question. The startups on the platform are all currently using what we call CrowdSAFEs, which is similar to the YC safe. Please check out our educational materials to understand the differences. They determine the valuation cap and discount on the CrowdSAFE and investors can determine which campaigns based on the traction and deal terms they want to invest in. Each campaign sets a minimum and maximum goal and the campaign is not successful if the minimum goal is not reached. In the even a campaign is unsuccessful, investors get a refund on their investment. If the campaign is successful, investors receive signed deal documents at the end of each campaign. You can easily track all your agreements in your portfolio so they're easy to find whenever you need. Hope this helps!
