How it works

Three steps from curious
to co-owner.

We built Backerlist for the person who discovers every great startup months before everyone else — and now they can own a piece of it too.

01

Discover startups you already love

We surface early-stage companies from BetaList, Product Hunt, and Indie Hackers — the ones you already use and root for. Read their founder story before a single dollar changes hands.

02

Back them from $100

No accreditation needed. No minimum net worth. Pick your amount — $100 to $2,500 — and become an equity co-owner in the startups building the future you want to see.

03

Grow with your portfolio

Track your investments, read founder updates, and celebrate milestones. Your $100 bet might just become the thing you tell everyone you knew about first.

I used Mossy's product for months before I even knew they were on Backerlist. Being able to actually own a piece of something I already love? That feels different from any investment I've made.

I put $150 into three startups I found on BetaList. None of them had pitch decks — they had founder letters. That's the kind of investing I wanted to do.

Wefunder felt like a stock exchange. Backerlist feels like a community. I can see the founders. I can read their updates. I actually care how these companies do.
