Baqqer – Equity Crowdfunding for Makers, Inventors, Developers and You

Hey HN! I left my previous job three months ago, decided to die going broke and homeless building products I loved.

    We were a part of Boomtown Boulder's second accelerator class, and after a few months of thrashing and pivoting, we feel we've got something pretty cool! We are a new crowdfunding platform with a twist - we let you partner with retail businesses by financing their inventory, helping them with marketing/lead generation and then collecting a return when that inventory sells.
