A few weeks ago, BetaKit reported that Spacefy would be the first Toronto early-stage startup to use Waverley’s platform, which, powered by InvestX, allows companies to fill financing rounds using its database of retail accredited investors. The company was seeking to fill $250,000 of its seed financing round.

Spacefy has announced it was able to reach 100 percent of its funding goal in just five days, and, at the request of InvestX, kept the offer open, offering another $50K in equity. That amount was filled in another 48 hours, with Spacefy closing at an oversubscribed offering of $300,000.
