FundersClub has 2 important elements, I believe, (PG correct me if I'm wrong) that probably made it click:

1. It's not dependent on the JOBS Act. It's like Angellist, in that they vet to see if you're a legitimate investor, except you can actually invest right there on the platform. With the proliferation of standard seed docs, this makes a ton of sense.

2. It's curated. It's not a free-for-all, it's going to make impactive differences in targeted companies. That's dope.

3 would be their secret sauce and their plans, which I'm sure are awesome.
