RBIFunder is a Regulation CF investment platform built cooperatively, for cooperatives. Every investor is a member with an ownership stake in the platform — and in the projects they help fund.
Investors are members
When you invest through RBIFunder, you become a member of the platform cooperative — not just a transaction on a ledger. Members share in the platform's success, vote on platform governance, and have a stake in both the projects they fund and the infrastructure they use to fund them.
RBI due diligence on every project
No project reaches the RBIFunder platform without going through RBI's full research and feasibility process first. Members then vote on which projects to advance to funding. This is participatory development — not passive investment.
Projects are cooperatives
Every project funded through RBIFunder is cooperative in structure. Your investment doesn't enrich a single founder — it capitalizes a cooperative enterprise where workers, members, or community stakeholders hold ownership.
Patronage transparency
RBIFunder's reporting layer shows members not just project ROI but patronage dividend accrual, equity position, and membership value over time — the long-term wealth creation picture that most investment platforms don't show because their projects don't generate it.
RBIFunder's process is what makes it different from a bare platform — the research and governance steps between idea and investment are visible to members, not hidden in the back office.
Research & Feasibility
RBI researches and conducts a full feasibility analysis on candidate projects — market, financial model, cooperative structure suitability, and capital requirements. Only projects that pass feasibility advance.
Member Review
Feasibility reports are shared with RBIFunder members. Members review the project prospectus and vote on whether to advance it to the active funding stage. This is participatory development, not passive investment.
Active Funding Round
Approved projects open for investment under Regulation CF. Non-accredited and accredited investors alike can participate. Commitments are held in FINRA-qualified escrow until the funding target is reached.
Capital Deployment & Reporting
Funded projects receive capital and begin operations. RBIFunder members receive ongoing reporting: project financial updates, patronage accruals, and equity position — the full picture of their investment as cooperative owners.
These projects are in the research and feasibility phase. Expressions of interest help us prioritize which projects to advance to member vote first. No commitment — just signal your interest.
An institute building the knowledge infrastructure for sustainable local economies — combining education, applied research, and cooperative enterprise development. KISLE is structured to generate long-term community wealth through the cooperative model.
RBI is conducting current feasibility work with KISLE. This project is a strong candidate for RBIFunder's beta round.
Do you have a cooperative development project that needs capital? RBIFunder is accepting project proposals for feasibility review. If your project passes RBI's research process, it becomes a candidate for member vote and the platform's first funding rounds.
Eligible: worker cooperatives, consumer cooperatives, producer cooperatives, housing cooperatives, community development projects structured as cooperatives.
RBIFunder is in regulatory approval with FINRA and the SEC. Charter members who join the waitlist now will be first to participate in the platform's beta funding rounds — and will receive founding member equity in the platform cooperative itself, at the earliest available rate.
Charter membership is not a financial commitment — it's an expression of intent. When the platform opens for investment, charter members have first access. No obligation until you choose to invest in a specific project.
Express your interest. No financial commitment. We'll keep you updated as the platform progresses through regulatory approval.
