Your investors already believe in you. Let's Put them to work.
Most founders send a weak "thanks for investing, please share" email and hope something happens. Nothing does. We built the system that actually works.
What if every dollar you spent acquiring an investor could multiply through their network, without spending another dime on ads?
Every company needs a tribe.
The most successful raises aren't built on viral campaigns or massive ad budgets. They're built on a core group of true believers who become your growth engine.
"To be a successful creator you don't need millions. You don't need millions of dollars or millions of customers. You need only thousands of true fans."
Kevin Kelly, Wired Magazine
"An individual artist needs only a thousand true fans in her tribe. It's enough."
Seth Godin, Tribes
"Raving fans, unlike satisfied customers, become part of your sales force. They tell friends, family and co-workers about your services."
Mac Anderson
Your investors already believe in you. They put real money behind your vision. They're your tribe, waiting to be activated. We give them the tools to spread the word.
Your investors are your biggest believers the moment they invest.
If your investors love you, why haven't they sent more referrals?
If you're like most founders, it's probably your fault.
Many founders know the power of their network but struggle to navigate how it works in crowdfunding.
Your investors would love to help you, but they don't know how. Because you haven't asked, or you asked wrong.
Hey there,
Thanks for investing! If you know anyone who might be interested, please share...
Need proof?
With what's grown to 7,000 ambassadors, they eliminated their need for advertising spend entirely. This company was stuck at $124K when we launched their ambassador program. Within weeks, momentum exploded. That flatline you see in March? They hit their $1.2M goal so fast they had to pause and refile to expand to $5M. Final close: $3.57 million, a 28x increase. That same investor network helped them raise another $5M in the next round, and the company eventually listed on NASDAQ.

The difference
See what changes when you stop hoping investors will share and start giving them a real system to help.
Without a real system
- ✕ Generic emails that get ignored
- ✕ Investors who want to help but don't know how
- ✕ Linear growth, rising costs
- ✕ Burnout from doing everything yourself
- ✕ Momentum that fades instead of builds
With Activate
- ✓ Structured program with clear paths to participate
- ✓ Believers equipped to spread the word
- ✓ Organic growth that compounds
- ✓ Ad costs collapse as word-of-mouth kicks in
- ✓ A community that gets stronger over time
What if you could skip the ad spend entirely?
Most founders burn 15-25% of their raise on ads just to stay visible. But what if your investors did the marketing for you, for free? That's the power of word-of-mouth at scale.
Meet the Team
Travis Brodeen
30 years in startups. A decade in crowdfunding. $300M+ raised.
Based in Austin, Texas, Travis has been in the trenches building companies, raising capital, and watching founders struggle with the same problem over and over: they attract investors but fail to activate them.
After seeing too many great companies leave money on the table, he built Activate: a system that turns the moment of investment into the beginning of exponential growth.
"Your investors already believe in you. They just need the right invitation and the right tools. That's what we build."

What does it cost?
Less than what most companies spend on a single week of Facebook ads, and it keeps working long after the ads stop. Every company is different, but expect $4-6K to get started and $1-2K/month recurring. Cancel anytime.

Everything you need to know about getting started.
We're the company that turns your investors into your most powerful marketing channel. With over $300M+ raised across 100+ campaigns and 30 years of startup experience, we've built the system that transforms passive investors into active ambassadors. We don't run ads. We don't do PR. We activate the people who already believe in you and give them the tools to spread the word.
Nothing. Zero. They're already invested and want you to succeed. This just gives them an easy way to help.
Fast. We plug into your existing campaign. Most clients are live within a week with no platform migration and no disruption.
Most do. A referral link and a "please share" email isn't a program. We build the actual infrastructure: onboarding, tools, engagement, and reasons to participate. Our CEO spent 12 years as a CTO, co-founded an Inc. 500 company (#21), then got bored with pure tech and dove into sales and marketing. Combine that with raising capital for his own ventures and a genuine obsession with helping startups win, and you get a team that actually knows how to make this work.
30-40% sign up immediately when the ask is right. These are people who already believe in you. They just need to be invited properly.
Whatever works for them. Some share on social. Some make intros. Some host conversations. We give them the tools and let them choose their level.
No, it plugs right in as a new channel. Often our content can improve your existing strategies too, if you want.
They want to, but you're just not helping them do it. If you ask an investor to spread the word, they'll likely say yes. They just need you to tell them what to say. Our Activate platform, custom tailored around your brand, makes it easy.
Your investors are your biggest believers. You've done a great job showing them the opportunity. What you're missing is that they want to help. They want to be part of your success. You're just not giving them an adequate vehicle to do that. We provide that vehicle.
We review your voice, develop a customized brand name for your own ambassador program, and implement you into our platform. Investors opt in (it's not for everyone, but we see 30-40% participating). The platform unlocks custom-tailored resources written by hand, not AI, for your brand and your investors to engage. We also include weekly or biweekly challenges for ambassadors to take direct action.
Once you have ambassadors engaged, we send targeted challenges that turn passive supporters into active promoters. For example: "We're hosting a webinar in 2 weeks with a goal of 1,000 attendees. Take 30 seconds to help us hit it." We give them a one-click link to share on LinkedIn, invite friends, or tag their network. A single challenge can generate hundreds of shares, comments, and registrations. It's word-of-mouth at scale, coordinated and easy.
Each ambassador receives their own custom-tailored links and QR codes, along with examples and inspiration for compliant promotions they can run. It's all built into the platform. You can easily see who your biggest influencers are, track referrals, and measure the real impact of your ambassador network.
This offer is only available to companies that have shown they can raise at least $150K and want more. While we work with other companies to get started, the Activate system is meant as a catalyst for companies who need to harness the momentum they already have for maximum results. It's helpful for smaller campaigns, but the results take longer to achieve and those companies typically require a messaging overhaul first.
You already have believers.
Stop leaving them on the sidelines.
