Case Study: LiquidPiston Raises Over $50M with DealMaker

LiquidPiston's $50M Multi-Year Raise Strategy

LiquidPiston, a developer of compact rotary engine technology, sought to fund its innovative R&D and commercialization efforts without resorting to traditional, bureaucratic funding routes. The company's challenge was to secure significant capital on its own terms while maintaining its operational momentum and cultivating a dedicated community of supporters. They partnered with the online capital-raising platform DealMaker to achieve this.

Using the DealMaker service, LiquidPiston implemented a multi-year, community-based funding strategy. This solution involved launching a series of successful online fundraising campaigns that directly engaged their investor community. The results were exceptional; their most recent round on DealMaker raised $31.4 million, bringing their total community-raised capital to over $50 million from more than 10,000 investors. This capital was instrumental in accelerating their research, expanding operations, and validating their groundbreaking technology.
