We built the system. Now we’re productizing it.
The advertising business funds the product chapter. Both are growing.
Most AI startups raise to build their first audience and their first revenue. GenAI Works already has both. This round funds the expansion stage.
Every AI company is fighting the same battle.
If the market does not understand or trust a product, it does not grow — whatever its quality.
The product can be powerful.
The model can be impressive.
The team can be world-class.
Market understanding, trust and timing decide whether a product grows. That is the problem GenAI Works was built to solve — the go-to-market engine and distribution moat for AI companies.
Multiple revenue streams, one growth engine.
Every product we ship launches into a paying customer base, an active community and a media engine we already own.

Frequently asked questions.
Why invest in startups?
Early-stage companies offer the potential for outsized returns by letting you invest before a business scales. Equity crowdfunding under Regulation CF opens that access to everyone, not just institutional or accredited investors. Returns are never guaranteed, and startup investing carries real risk, so only invest what you can afford to lose.
How much can I invest?
Regulation CF sets investment limits based on your income and net worth. If either your annual income or net worth is below $124,000, you may invest the greater of $2,500 or 5% of the greater of the two. If both are $124,000 or more, you may invest up to 10% of the greater of the two, capped at $124,000 across all Reg CF offerings in a 12-month period. Accredited investors have no limit.
What if I change my mind?
You may cancel your investment commitment for any reason up until 48 hours before the offering deadline. If you cancel within that window, your funds are returned. Inside the final 48 hours, your commitment becomes binding.
What happens if the round doesn't reach its funding target?
If the offering does not reach its minimum funding target by the deadline, the round is cancelled and all committed funds are returned to investors in full.
Can I sell my shares?
Securities purchased in a Regulation CF offering generally cannot be resold for one year from the date of purchase, with limited exceptions (transfer to the company, an accredited investor, or a family member, or in connection with death, divorce or an SEC-registered offering). After that period, resale may still be limited because there is no established public market for the shares.
Are these investments risky?
Yes. Investing in early-stage companies is high risk. You could lose your entire investment, these securities are illiquid, and many startups do not succeed. Never invest more than you can afford to lose, and treat any startup investment as a long-term, speculative part of a diversified portfolio.
What is GenAI Works' pre-money valuation?
Shares in this round are offered at $7.35 each. The pre-money valuation and full capitalization details are disclosed in our Form C and offering materials filed with the SEC, which we encourage you to review before investing.
How do I keep up with how the company is doing?
Companies that raise under Regulation CF file an annual report with the SEC and post it on their website. As an investor you will also receive ongoing updates from GenAI Works on product milestones, growth and key developments.
Equity crowdfunding investments in private placements, and start-up investments in particular, are speculative and involve a high degree of risk and those investors who cannot afford to lose their entire investment should not invest in start-ups. Companies seeking startup investment through equity crowdfunding tend to be in earlier stages of development and their business model, products and services may not yet be fully developed, operational or tested in the public marketplace.
There is no guarantee that the stated valuation and other terms are accurate or in agreement with the market or industry valuations. Further, investors may receive illiquid and/or restricted stock that may be subject to holding period requirements and/or liquidity concerns. Forward-looking statements are included that the Company believes to be accurate given current information; they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors which if changed may affect the outcome(s).
