Fairmint gives you a transparent view into your investment.
If you’ve ever owned or worked at a startup, you’re probably familiar with equity. Founders commonly grant their employees shares through platforms like Carta to make the process — from granting to vesting to exercising — simple.
However, it’s not all that easy.
Just ask the numerous employees who own stock without knowing how much it’s* really* worth until someone tells them. Or the contractors that never get access to equity ownership in the companies they help build. Or the mega-fan who would love to get their own small piece of the company they use everyday and love.
It’s difficult to determine how much a startup is worth, how much equity is up for sale, and how much yours is really worth. Technological limitations and traditional fundraising models made those details opaque to everyone but a few insiders.
However, Web3 has opened a lot of doors. The biggest one is inclusive ownership. At Fairmint, not only are we opening equity to a broader community of investors, we’re showing them exactly what they’re getting. It’s as simple as clicking a button.
Because we are decentralized, our dashboard is updated in real-time. But unlike a lot of things in Web3, our platform is easy to navigate. ;) We’re a bridge between Webs 2 and 3.
How does it work?
Any community member — whether they are an investor, contractor, partner, employee, or customer — gets the whole picture when they login to their portal, regardless of the size of their investment. They get a real-time look at how much has been invested, the company’s valuation, and how much equity was granted.
By being transparent with all investors, a company harvests many benefits, like increased engagement from a product’s users and employees, excitement from outside investors, and brand trust from the entire community.
Founders also get their own dashboard that they can access and update anytime. They brand it with their logos and colors, add product information and updates, and even create their own ticker (like $FAIR). They receive live updates — literally, through Slack or emails — of who has invested and how much. They can update their equity pool on a rolling basis without diluting the worth of their shares.
In short, founders get a lot more flexibility and the community gets access to ownership — all with just a few clicks.
