What is Public Fundraise?

Public Fundraise is crowdinvesting for startups. It allows GmbH and UG companies in Germany and Austria to raise capital digitally from an unlimited number of investors—customers, fans, and private backers—via a digital startup fundraising platform.

No longer is startup investing limited to professional investors. Instead of relying solely on VCs or angel investors, you can turn your community into virtual shareholders. This builds brand loyalty, encourages word of mouth, and turns believers into long-term advocates.

Raise capital from a large audience – Engage your customers & fans.
Seamless investing with virtual shares – Digital ownership, easy transfers.
No traditional fundraising barriers – Direct investments from anyone at low minimums.
Raise continuously – Invest Now button allows new investments 24/7.

Powered by Tokenized Virtual Shares

When you raise funds with Public Fundraise, investors receive virtual shares in the form of GmbH tokens. These virtual shares offer investors a “Genussrecht” or right to participate in the economic profits of your company—just like a traditional shareholder—in compliance with applicable German and Austrian law.

Investors holding virtual shares participate in your success, but you keep control; Virtual shareholders are included in your cap table but do not have voting rights since they are not registered in the commercial register (Handelsregister). By leveraging blockchain technology, Tokenize.it ensures transparency, security, and flexibility for all.
