In its initial beta release, GetFunded.com will allow users to contribute to a project in exchange for services or products. Depending on the implementation of the JOBS Act, it might be possible for companies to use crowdfunding as a source of financing by selling securities.

Adam Kotkin, CEO of Apps Genius, stated: "We see two very unique and large opportunities with Getfunded.com. The first is to open up traditional crowdfunding to all businesses and the second is to build and position the GetFunded platform to take advantage of the JOBS Act which will allow investors in projects to receive equity instead of the current product pre-orders or gifts given."
