Republic

Republic is a financial technology company focused on private-market investing, capital formation and digital asset infrastructure. Founded in 2016 as a spin-out from AngelList, it initially developed a crowdfunding platform that allowed non-accredited investors to participate in early-stage private companies alongside venture capital investors. Its origins are tied to Regulation Crowdfunding under Title III of the US JOBS Act, with investment opportunities offering entry points as low as $50 to $100.

The business has expanded into an investment ecosystem spanning primary fundraising, private capital, asset tokenization and secondary trading. Its retail platform supports community fundraising and securities offerings under Regulation Crowdfunding, Regulation A+ and Regulation D. Accredited and institutional investors can access special purpose vehicles and pooled venture funds through its investment advisory businesses. The combination connects companies seeking capital with investors pursuing opportunities beyond public markets.

Digital assets and private markets

Republic's digital asset activities encompass token structuring, issuance, custody integration and regulatory lifecycle support. Its broader group also provides blockchain strategy, tokenomics advice, smart contract review, wallet infrastructure and staking operations. These capabilities support the company's development of tokenized private-market investments and mechanisms for trading digital securities.

International expansion has combined regional operations with acquisitions. Republic acquired the European crowdfunding business Seedrs in 2021, subsequently rebranding that platform as Republic Europe. Its acquisition of INX Digital, completed in November 2025, added regulated broker-dealer and alternative trading system capabilities supporting secondary trading of tokenized assets. The group also participates in video game investment and crowd-publishing through Fig Publishing, acquired in 2020.

Republic is headquartered in New York and retains operational roots in San Francisco. Its wider business reaches investors and enterprises across North America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East. As of late 2026, the company reports more than $2.6 billion deployed across over 2,500 ventures and a community exceeding three million members in 150 countries.
