  • Great investing ideal & invested!

    So far I’ve had no issues w the app & have been using it quite a bit. I have no probs sending feedback and do often but haven’t had to reach out yet so I can’t speak to the level of customer service, but would be very surprised if it was less than excellent 🫣🫠😁
  • Beautifully designed, easy to use

    I am new to investing and when opening the app, had no idea what I was doing. The app made it easy, with great videos and resources!
  • Great content!

    The app has great content for investors who may be new to venture as well as portfolio company content featuring founders. All it needs is a Stockperks-like marketplace to provide coupons for the consumer facing products and more meaningful ways to be ambassadors for portcos, as well as for Sweater (invite a friend to well diversified venture returns!).
  • Great app! I’ve already seen lots of improvements

    The company and app are amazing! I completely understand having some bugs in the app upon launch and have already seen those problems get fixed.

    I’m excited to be part of the Sweater family and to finally be able to access venture capital.
  • Easy app

    The app is easy to navigate. I haven’t had any problems with this app. I would recommend to friends and family.
  • Easiest way to invest in the venture capital asset class

    Big fan and supporter of Sweater. I loved how easy it was to invest and track which companies I’ve invested in through the fund. The recurring investment option makes this an easy set and forget, much like a 401k long-term strategy. Excited to back and learn about the next generation of venture-backed rocketships! Also, Jesse and team are great people and top-notch great investors.
  • I’m a VC Investor!

    Thanks to Sweater, I’ve now diversified my investment portfolio with another asset class. Thank you Sweater!

    As for app functionality, I’ve had no issues logging in or navigating the app. If you are having those issues, be proactive and email support instead of leaving a bad review.

    Also, the explainer videos the app forces you to watch before investing and the final “complete” button are very clear that your money will be invested immediately after pressing the button, and there is no way to get your money out until the 2 withdrawal periods every year. Don’t blame Sweater that you didn’t pay attention to their policies. Watch the videos and be 100% sure you are ready to invest your money with no ability to withdraw for a while.
  • Easy to use & great tool

    I found the app and account set up very easy.! 😀 Even family & friends have the same feedback. Really like how you can get to the website of each company they have in the portfolio. While I’m in this for the long term, like how you can check your account with ease at any time. 👏
  • Extremely efficient, responsive, peace of mind

    Love the fund. The founding members have personally messaged and called me after investment. They are extremely knowledgeable and excited about their future as a fund. Their due diligence goes above and beyond and their work ethic is unparalleled. This will eventually equate in the funds value. App very useful. Happy to have a percentage here. Thanks.
  • Exciting Work in Progress

    The app certainly isn’t perfect- I’d say it was probably launched as a minimum viable product- but I think it’s awesome what they’re trying to accomplish. I think it’s worth it to deal with the half-baked app in order to be able to invest a safe amount of your portfolio in VC. Hopefully this will help level the investing playing field for lower net worth individuals.
