We’re the Robinhood for pre-IPO startups. Everyone can angel invest $100 in a Community Round. On May 16, 2016, it became legal for everyday people to invest as little as $100 in startups and small businesses. Since then, we’ve helped 1,860 founders raise almost $500M from their community - for flying cars, coffee shops, and everything in between. We’re a Public Benefit Corporation with a mission to revitalize capitalism and keep the American dream alive. GDP growth is slowing. Wealth inequality is increasing. Entrepreneurship is dying across America; falling from 10.6% to 3.6% among those under 30 since 1989. We’re reversing these trends by funding more deserving businesses across all of America, not solely tech startups in Silicon Valley. Want to help? Join us! We’re a team of founder types: enjoy autonomy, responsibility, the opportunity to learn, and no red tape. Just make it happen.

We support you over time, during expansion phases and their more challenging periods alike. By providing a full range of solutions suited to your needs, we play a facilitating role to help you realise your ambitions and leverage your potential. This is why we intend to develop an authentic advisory relationship for all of your financial issues, specifically risk anticipation and management. Our model is based on both bankers who have a very detailed knowledge of their clients and the sectors in which they are active, as well as a broad cross-asset view of the bank’s various products and experts who bring sophisticated technical skill to their work. This client coverage model, though not in itself unique to Societe Generale, finds a better home there because of the bank’s ability to pool expertise in order to provide bespoke solutions to your needs. As a key pillar of the Societe Generale Group’s universal banking model, SG CIB supports the economy by playing a key intermediary role, offering broad market access to issuers and smart investment solutions to investors. The service we bring to our corporate and financial institutions clients revolves around three main activities - investment banking, financing and markets - and our global franchises of equity derivatives and natural resources. For our clients we stand out because we are a trusted advisor with a worldwide leading engineering expertise and a quality product suite.

Since 1983, we’ve been designing pieces that feel both familiar and refreshingly new, crafted with unbeatable quality and distinctive point of view...it’s no wonder we’ve been in your closet for four decades and counting. Today, we continue to do the classics our way, inspiring not only how you shop but also how you express your personal style. Our commitment runs deeper than just making great clothes—were proud of our role in getting you dressed with confidence, character and the unique style sensibility that makes us who we are.
