About the launch
Product Hunt is a place for product enthusiasts to share their latest creations, including mobile apps, websites, marketing software, and more. Considered a must-read for any Silicon Valley VC, it’s where companies like Robinhood and Slack got their start. It’s the perfect audience for our biggest debut yet.
Fairmint today
After helping dozens of founders raise over $21 million over the last two years, we have built the first full-stack platform purpose-made to make equity easy for founders to distribute and receive. Fairmint founders Joris & Thibauld are passionate about giving ownership and equity to people who add value to their companies. Their community — the people who had invested so much time and love into their product — should reap the rewards of the product they help build.
Because of advancements in technology and our founders’ deep experience in launching startups, Fairmint was created to be a simpler and more cost-efficient way for founders to raise equity from anyone around the world. Our background in investment and DeFi has enabled us to build a platform that lets founders grant equity to their community in exchange for the time or money they invest.
The traditional world of equity is:
- reserved for insiders and usually unavailable to your community of partners, users, and megafans
- vulnerable to external forces — funding already is down 50% due to economic trends
- slow — contracts take months to create and finalize, and cannot be updated in real-time
- expensive — legal firms take out percentage fees that amount to $$$$$$
Companies promote their community offering with their logo and brand colors, and launch it on their website with an “Invest Now” button. Founders can choose the amount of shares they want to sell to raise money or compensate community members, and Fairmint handles the rest, like managing the compliance with legal regulations.
Recent updates to our platform have made it even stronger. Now, founders can:
🚀 go live with their offering in a few clicks — often in under ten minutes
🚀 cut their first checks in a matter of minutes
🚀 automate the legal process
This lets them access capital faster and cheaper than in traditional capital — and reward their community along the way.
Founders can open their equity to anyone they choose, whether they’re VCs, early adopters, super users, or gig workers. Web3 has made community ownership possible, and it all starts with startups. Whether you’re a founder, a first-time investor, or an established VC, we invite you to learn more about how our product works. Community capital builds stronger, fairer, and more transparent companies, and we invite you to discuss this with us at www.fairmint.com.
