Our mission is to connect businesses and
individuals to build vibrant communities.
By using the latest crowdfunding laws and technology, NextSeed is empowering business owners and everyday people to invest in one another and grow together.
Through NextSeed, local entrepreneurs are building places people love, creating jobs, and making a tangible impact in their neighborhoods. Investors are getting access to private investment opportunities once reserved for the well-connected and engaging with the businesses that matter most to them.
The team behind NextSeed created the first registered funding portal with the Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) and became a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). The portal closed the first-ever regulation crowdfunding offering in the country. Beginning in October 2018, NextSeed Securities LLC operates as an SEC-registered broker-dealer and FINRA member.
Anyone in the US, regardless of income or net worth, can now invest in innovative local business concepts that are defining the new landscape of Main Street. Everyday people have an opportunity to start building a portfolio of impactful, local and community-driven investments.
We've built our brand and our platform
on three core values.
