Fairmint - Equity of the Future

Maker

Hi Product Hunt👋! I’m Joris, co-founder of Fairmint. I am thrilled to launch today on Product Hunt! Since 2007, I've been working on ways to give more ownership and equity to people who add value to my companies. I wanted to give them more skin in the game, to be able to share the profits I had from the success of my businesses. But aligning interests and sharing your equity is so hard. Traditional equity is an outdated model — lots of intermediaries, designed for big checks, and reserved for insiders. In late 2018, with my co-founder @thibauld , who is also a serial entrepreneur and angel investor, in crypto for a decade, we started to design an equity tool that would offer a 10X better experience. ✅ We wanted our product to benefit both the founder and their community. ✅ We wanted founders to be able to issue and distribute equity simply, without all the hoops. ✅ And we wanted individuals to be able to invest or earn equity in companies they love. 👉 Introducing Fairmint, equity of the future. Fairmint empowers founders to receive investment from their biggest fans as well as VCs and grant equity to anyone that adds value to their company, like users, gig workers, employees -- anyone really. You can launch in minutes, and get back to building your business. To put it simply, we are building the Shopify for equity. Inspired by the crypto movement, we've built a full-stack solution with every process automated on-chain — giving our product the transparency, programmability, and compliance our customers deserve. During our successful beta phase, we helped a dozen of start-ups raise over $20M from their community. And as "skin in the game" is our motto, we eat our own dog food 🤗. We've used our own technology to raise $7.4 million to date from 330 investors all around the world who support our mission. You can check out how much we've raised from our community and where our valuation is right on our home page. Have you ever woken up in the morning with $10K or even $150K in your account from an investor you never even pitched? We have and so have our customers. It's an aha moment for them. With Fairmint, you can raise in your sleep 🚀 The cherry on top is that it's completely free until you get your first investment, making it a no-brainer for founders at any stage. Big picture, we believe Fairmint will help democratize access to opportunities to create wealth that were previously reserved for insiders. When the next Airbnb or Uber goes public, the earliest hosts, drivers, guests, and riders should access the financial upside that the community helped build. We're super excited for the Product Hunt community to take a look at what we've been up to. Best, We’d love to hear any and all feedback you have and we’ll be looking at comments here all day.

@thibauld @joris_paris congratulation guys for this launch! I am following Fairmint from the beginning at TheFamily. Super idea and perfect execution! Keep going to deploy your vision! I am very interested to use it with Magma but I have 2 questions: → It is possible to use Fairmint with a French company? → Can I bring my first round into it (shares and employees equity)? Or should I do it for another round? Happy to discuss about it! Cheers!

MERCIIIIIII @edouardpetit ❤️ Quel chemin depuis TheFamily indeed. I still remember our 1st photo shooting, or 1st keynote about Fairmint by @thibauld 25 rue du Petit Musc in Paris. There is such a strong bond with TheFamily ecosystem, between all founders, still years after. This is amazing.

OK so I stop the nostalgia 😅 and address your questions @edouardpetit : → is it possible to use Fairmint with a French company? We are designed for US C-Corp 🥰 and we start to have multiple requests from Europe and Asia. Multiple founders have already decided to embrace the 🇺🇸 play and have incorporated an entity in the US. Some also explore the ability to do it while being abroad. It is something you might want to discuss with local lawyers and we will be happy to join the discussion at any time. As soon as we feel the regulation is as clear in Europe as it is in the US, count on us to pave the way :-)

and your 2nd question @edouardpetit → Can I bring my first round into it (shares and employees equity)? Or should I do it for another round? OH YEAH! 💯 We've been building Fairmint with @thibauld with the objective that anyone who adds value to your company could access the financial upside he helps build. It works for employees yes. But they are among the insiders in the traditional (and outdated) equity world. We've also focused our work on community members. Imagine if Travis Kalanick, early days at Uber, had had Fairmint and offered $UBER to his 1st drivers... How many lives would have been changed? We believe in social capitalism, in community ownership. More than happy to continue discussing it! Ping us on telegram or twitter or email us: jorisATfairmint.co or thibauldATfairmint.co

I love the idea - and the video. Congrats on the ProductHunt listing too! I still don't get how the equity works though ... e.g. how is my company valuation determined and tracked and how does say the influencer buy in and benefit? ... is there a more detailed explaination somewhere?

@shazjones Thank you! Checkout our website for more information. Companies determine their own valuation, and can also automate pricing for their equity tokens based on demand. Influencers can invest just like customers and others, or receive stock options and RSUs and equity compensation if they are an employee or qualifying service provider. Let us know if you have any other questions!

This is an awesome product and I loved talking to Joris a few months back when we were raising our pre-seed. @joris_paris - question for you though - What is Fairmint's competitive advantage over someone like Party Round ?

@robinsinghvi as @ryan_nisbet said it, at Fairmint we extensively rely on the Regulation D 506c as we value General Solicitation. This is probably the major difference with PR. Now with Capital, they extend their services a lot. But so far, if you plan to give skin in the game to your community, we are a no-brianer.

There are several reasons to vote for Fairmint. I especially love to fact it is a game changer for marketplaces. With Fairmint a marketplace can easily set up an equity incentive plan to supercharge client acquisition. For instance, Lyft drivers see hundreds of Uber clients each month. What if they were motivated enough to bring those clients to Lyft ? Fairmint makes that possible accross all industries !
