Republic’s Venture Partner (VP) Program, launched in 2019, equips experienced investors, founders and ecosystem builders with capital, training and a powerful distribution platform so they can champion underserved founders at pre‑seed to Series B. Each VP cohort of 25–35 operates for twelve months.
An initial four‑week boot camp covers sourcing frameworks, Republic’s diligence standards, SEC crowdfunding rules and community marketing tactics.
After onboarding, VPs work autonomously: meeting founders, prepping pitch materials and submitting candidates through an internal portal for Republic’s investment committee. When a deal is approved, VPs support the founder’s campaign, leverage Republic’s 2 M+ retail‑investor base and stay involved as informal advisors.
The network has grown to 240+ VPs across 75 cities and 17 countries who have referred hundreds of offerings on Republic—from impact‑driven CPG brands to AI developer tools—collectively raising over USD 250 million.
Republic's global network of mission-driven venture investors and executives is known as Venture Partners.
