Is there any sort of geographic restriction for investors?

With a few exceptions, investments can be accepted from international investors as long as you represent that you are complying with the law in your country. Here's a step-by-step guide on investing from outside the US: https://help.wefunder.com/154992-linked/international-investor-guide

The only exceptions are the Canadian provinces of Quebec, Ontario, and Alberta which have requested that Wefunder bar their residents from investing on Wefunder’s platform, as well as certain sanctioned countries: https://help.wefunder.com/legal/304306-can-i-invest-if-i-don-t-live-in-the-united-states

For accredited investors from one of those Canadian provinces, we’re looking into creating an opportunity to invest. You can email wefunder@substackinc.com to express your interest.

i wish i lived in Quebec, Ontario or Alberta. seems perhaps they have their citizens best interests in mind to PROTECT them from outsiders coming around to take money. . . i mean “offer investment.”

None of this is mandatory. The cautions and the risks are there in black and white. If I choose to invest, I do it willingly and with eyes wide open.

And, by the way, I wouldn't wish to live anywhere else. I'm a big girl now. I don't need a keeper.
