WeFunder is an online equity crowdfunding platform that enables individuals — including those who are not accredited investors — to invest in early-stage startups and small businesses for as little as $100. It operates under provisions of the 2012 JOBS Act, which opened up private company investing to the general public, not just wealthy or institutional investors. WeFunder also provides a social platform where investors can interact with founders, receive updates, and track their investment portfolios.
WeFunder is considered the largest equity crowdfunding platform by investment volume since 2016. As of 2024, WeFunder has helped nearly 2,833 founders raise over $617 million, with companies going on to raise billions more in follow-on financing.
Sonical is inviting the music and entertainment community to participate in its groundbreaking CosmOS audio platform development with this crowdfunding initiative, available on Wefunder (wefunder.com/sonical).
"Our crowdfunding campaign is more than just a financial opportunity – it's an invitation to join a transformative journey in audio technology. We're not just seeking investment; we're building a community of innovators who believe in reimagining how we experience sound," says Gary Spittle, Sonical's CEO and co-founder.
"For decades, headphones have been slowly evolving but still fall short of their true potential. Sonical is changing the game by putting you in control of how you use your ears and giving you access to a universe of new applications. In the same way that the introduction of the smartphone unlocked the creativity of third-party app developers, Sonical has identified an inflection point in the market. Sonical’s platform is reshaping headphones into personalized "Smart Ear" wearable computers - transforming how we listen, communicate, and care for our hearing, and ultimately monitor our health," he adds.
Paul Watson, a Strategic Advisor and Lead Investor, expressed his commitment: "I am privileged to lead this funding campaign with Sonical. What sets this opportunity apart is not just the technological innovation but the potential to democratize the audio experience. We're not just investing in a product; we're investing in a future where users have unprecedented control over their audio environment."
Sonical was founded by a unique team of industry veterans, with the goal to introduce "Headphone 3.0" – the first appable audio platform, currently involving over 100 technology developers and with two strategic product investors already using Sonical's CosmOS. Patents filed by Sonical cover over 1,000 innovations in audio, AI, and operating systems.
