How they compare
Republic and Rocketbook are different categories of product. Republic is a licensed investment marketplace: an SEC-registered funding portal running Regulation Crowdfunding offerings open to non-accredited investors, alongside a Deal Room for accredited investors under Regulation D, with SPVs typically structured as limited partnerships where a Republic affiliate acts as general partner. Its value is distribution, meaning access to Republic's own investor base. Rocketbook is infrastructure for sponsors who already have investors: you own the relationship, your community is yours, and we never market other deals to your members. Choose Republic to reach new investors; choose Rocketbook to run vehicles for the ones you have.
