Invest in the Future of Festival Tech: Totem Labs Community Round Update

We’ve been absolutely blown away by the response to our Early Access launch on WeFunder.

Our global community has rallied behind us in ways that exceeded even our wildest expectations, and in true Totem fashion, you showed up in full force 💜

Since launching our Community Round, we’ve welcomed 72 new investors into the Totem Tribe. Combined with our Private Access period in Winter 2025, Totem has now raised a total of $XXXM toward our $2M goal.

As we move into 2026, we’re accelerating toward our full public launch—opening this round to the broader WeFunder investor community for the first time.

If you’re looking to invest in startups in 2026, this is your opportunity to join a fast-growing wearable tech company at a pivotal moment.

What Is Equity Crowdfunding on WeFunder?

WeFunder is a leading equity crowdfunding platform that allows everyday people to invest directly in promising startups—companies that were once only accessible to venture capital firms and wealthy angel investors.

This will allow anyone within this incredible community to become part of the Totem story and come behind the scenes as an official investor.

Through equity crowdfunding, you can:

• Own real shares in high-growth tech startups
• Support products you already love (like the Totem Compass!)
  
• Join early-stage companies before major venture capital rounds
• Participate in the future of innovation, with investments starting at only $250!

For Totem, this means our community doesn’t just use our products... you help shape our future. It just makes sense for such a community-driven brand like us.

By joining our Community Round, you become an official owner and play a direct role in building technology that keeps people safe, connected, and present in real life.

Thinking about joining the Totem cap table? You’re in the right place. 😎

What Investors are Saying About Totem

One of the strongest indicators of startup success is community trust. Here’s what current investors are saying about their Totem Labs investment:

• "Easiest investment opportunity I've come across. Totem Labs combines a revolutionary product with a team built to scale... Truly, the Compass is just the beginning here." — Christopher Perry (Lead Investor)
  

• "The number one thing that consistently threatens to ruin my festival experience is being unable to find my friends... Totem compasses present a brilliant and thoughtfully designed solution to this." — Brittany Solomon
  

• "The Totem Compass has been an absolute game-changer for our family, giving us priceless peace of mind when it comes to keeping track of our kids... it’s truly an indispensable tool for parents." — Priya Vijay
  

• "I just have a good feeling. When I was 14, Google had on their home page to invest with them... I got the same feeling with you guys." — David Sidaway
  

• "The zoom call was the icing on the cake for me. Very informative, and exciting to see what is coming down the pipeline. This level of connection between a growing tech company and consumers is rare, and truly makes us feel like we're part of the journey together. If I'm going to feel like I'm in this with Totem, I may as well invest in it to make that a reality." — Andrew Farrington
  

• "We’ve been using Totem for a year now and see the effort to continually improve and believe the company will be a success for years to come." — Cat Coppler And Chris Mancini

The Future of Totem

In January, we hosted our first-ever live investor webinar: “The Future of Totem.” Founders Carter Fowler and Chase Lemonds shared our long-term product roadmap and revealed early prototypes.

Our upcoming innovations include:

• A next-generation Pro Totem Compass

• A rugged outdoor-focused model

• A kid-friendly wristband tracker

• Industry-defining solar charging capabilities

• Upgraded processing power

• Expanded Unity Mesh Network features

All new products are designed to work seamlessly within the existing Totem ecosystem.

This roadmap positions Totem at the forefront of the future of wearable tech, bridging safety, community, and real-world connection in ways traditional devices cannot.

Why Totem Stands Out from Venture Capital Tech

Unlike the majority of hardware-focused startups, Totem has already proven:

• Strong product-market fit

• Global community adoption

• Viral organic growth

• Recurring customer engagement

• Sustainable brand loyalty

Our approach blends community-driven development with disciplined execution, making Totem a compelling opportunity in the evolving tech landscape.

We’re not just building offline devices. We’re building the infrastructure for real-world connection.

Next Steps

Right now, the full recording of The Future of Totem is only available to interested investors, but you can reach out to tribe@totemlabs.com anytime to be added to our shortlist and receive priority access to updates, product previews, and investment materials.

Additionally, we're inviting anyone on that list to book a call with Carter to learn more about this movement and solidify your confidence in backing it 💪

If you’ve been searching for a high-impact opportunity in equity crowdfunding or wondering where to invest in startups in 2026, this is your invitation.

This Community Round won’t be open for much longer. If you’re ready to help shape the future of wearable tech and startup innovation, now is the time. We can’t wait to welcome you as a co-owner. 💜
