Our mission
Built by women to expand women-owned business capital access
100%
Women founded & owned
AQi is a Reg CF funding portal founded by women and designed to expand women-owned business capital access. Through our platform, women entrepreneurs can raise capital online under Regulation Crowdfunding. We provide an educational, crowdfunding marketplace where women entrepreneurs and founders connect with investors nationwide.
Offerings are available to both non-accredited and accredited investors, subject to Reg CF investment limits. Investors should carefully review each issuer's Form C and offering materials before investing.
How an offering reaches you
Four stages ofregulatory diligence
01
Registered & supervised
AQi is registered as a funding portal with the SEC and is a member of FINRA (CRD #338492), operating under Regulation Crowdfunding rules.
02
Issuer eligibility & bad-actor checks
Issuers complete onboarding and the required background and securities-enforcement checks before an offering is posted. These checks confirm eligibility to raise funds — they are not a review of the investment merits or likelihood of success.
03
Full disclosure on file
Each offering is accompanied by the issuer's Form C and offering materials, including risk factors, filed with the SEC and available to review.
04
Regulated closing
Investor funds are held at a qualified third-party escrow agent and released only when the offering's terms and conditions are met.
Regulatory process does not reduce investment risk. AQi does not recommend or endorse any issuer or security.
Affiliated partners
Behind every bold founder?
A smart, strategic partner
No one builds something extraordinary alone. That's why we've curated a trusted circle of experts in legal, marketing, accounting, and compliance — partners who understand the unique needs of women entrepreneurs and the fast-moving world of crowdfunding. Whether you're launching your first campaign or scaling your next big idea, these are the advisors we rely on to help founders rise with clarity, confidence, and support.
Affiliated partners are independent third parties. AQi does not provide legal, accounting, or investment advice, and partner services do not constitute a recommendation of any issuer or security.
What is Regulation Crowdfunding?
A regulated pathwayfor private companiesto raise online
Regulation Crowdfunding — “Reg CF” for short — is an SEC-regulated exemption that establishes a regulated pathway for eligible private U.S. companies to raise money online from a wider pool of investors. Instead of only courting venture firms or accredited investors, businesses can raise limited amounts from their own communities, all under SEC rules and investor limits.
In short: Reg CF widens who can invest and who can raise — within clear regulatory guardrails.
