Easy Peasy.... the portal is easy to navigate and it makes me feel good to invest in anything Canadian even if there is no ROI. Helping Canadian entrepreneurs is reward enough, but if there is a retur... See more

FrontFundr is very slick

FrontFundr is very slick, while apprehensive at first to use the internet for financial matters, having gone through the process I find FrontFundr trustworthy. The ability to make financial agreements this smoothly is a step forward. Well done!

Highly recommended platform

I’ve been investing in FrontFundr since 2020 and it’s been a pleasant experience! They have a good variety of well-vetted businesses available and they’re very responsive to questions. I’m looking forward to more opportunities!

Good exposure to impact investments; room to streamline payment process

I appreciate the breadth of investment opportunities presented to me. I love to invest in small businesses who want to make an impact to our society. I receive regular updates from the startup owners and I feel that we are on the journey together.

The only glitches I experienced was the payment process. In my last RRSP investments, I signed all the authorization forms asap but still missed or almost missed the deadlines. My email inquiries were not responded until I picked up the phone and called two different parties to sort them out.

Painless purchasing and good web site

Purchasing the investments are fairly painless but note that each opportunity is quite different in what you are purchasing (not all are "shares"). And the timeline for capital return can stretch out, so your money is doing nothing possibly for years.
The website is straightforward and hopefully will be able to track the progress of your investments going forward.

I really appreciate that FrontFundr gives smaller players opportunities to invest in private companies

I really appreciate that FrontFundr brings opportunities to non-institutional investors who want to invest in private businesses. Without very deep pockets and exceptional connections, it is extraordinarily difficult to get in at the initial building phase of a business. Frontfundr solves this problem.

There is a wide spectrum of businesses represented, and at different developmental stages. So I could find a few businesses that fit my risk appetite, my desire to invest in green businesses, as well as my return on investment expectations.
I also appreciate that Frontfundr has done some investigation of the businesses before they are accepted. That the businesses are Canadian is another plus.

I invested in the Save the Rio theatre

I invested in the Save the Rio theatre. FrontFundr made it easy, did all the hideously
involved paper work and helped save an important part of Vancouver’s theatrical history. Thank you FrontFundr!

Frontfundrs has changed my life

Frontfundrs has changed my life. Their platform allowed me to access the world of investment that previously was totally foreign. I am able to choose investments that align with my values and small investments have turned into a very large sum of money! Thank you!!!
