Happy weekend - thank the Lord!

Recapping this week, we’ve had some great events, taught our butts off as usual, and navigated some crazy swings in the Market no thanks to bananas banking news…

With that being said, The Boardroom welcomed its newest partner on Monday – CEO & Founder Chris Lustrino of KingsCrowd – in true webinar fashion which can be revisited HERE…

💥 And the timing of this interview could not have been more opportune. 💥

You see, KingsCrowd is really the only game in town when it comes to comprehensive data and reports on all CF deals out there. That has big upside in my opinion since the data they are gathering has huge long-term value and there are no other true competitors.

And, as CEO of a company that has a chokehold on the private investing research space, Chris has a unique perspective on how things really look for private companies after the SVB banking debacle we saw over the last week.

In this interview. Chris had some great insights about how the future of crowdfunding is going to look.

Simply put, he thinks the best companies out there (the ones his company rates 4-5 stars ⭐) should be just fine. There is a lot of appetite to invest in the strongest companies out there, just like the stock market.

Those that are poorly rated or that don’t have good business models? Well, they are going to have a very tough time surviving in the new world where money is harder to raise. It truly is...

Survival of the fittest – both with private companies and public ones.

There were a lot of really great interview highlights including the “provenness” of the company as well as its multiple revenue streams, so I encourage you to watch the full interview. But in the meantime:

1. If you are interested in checking out the services of KingsCrowd for your OWN investing decisions, head on over to their website HERE…

2. If you are interested in investing in the company itself as it is conducting a current RAISE, click here to learn more about this HERE…

To Your Success 🍻,

Hi everyone,

Today we’re looking at KingsCrowd, a platform that analyzes startups that are fundraising and finds "diamonds in the rough."

Since venture capital dried up last year, many startups have opted to crowdfund instead. But not all of these companies are created equal. Not even close.

This is where KingsCrowd comes in. These guys take data from popular crowdfunding sites (Republic, WeFunder, etc.) and rank each company using a proprietary score.

They're off to a terrific start, and now they're raising money themselves (so meta).

Let’s go

The problem with startup investing

Ten years ago, most alternative investing opportunities were restricted to accredited investors (i.e. just 10% of all Americans). Then the JOBS Act changed everything.

But while getting accessibility to startups is great, it has its challenges.

For starters, sifting through thousands of investment opportunities is a grind. And secondly, startups are notoriously risky:

Just 22% of all startups meet their crowdfunding goal
Under 10% of companies raising via a Seed Round make it to Series A funding
66% of startups never deliver a positive return to their investors

Transparency issues also add to the risk. Because crowdfunding is so easy now, many companies are doing deals with terrible financials, bloated valuations, and questionable business models. Without doing proper due diligence, investors can get screwed pretty easily.

But how do you perform DD on crowdfunding startups? Where's the transparency? Where's the data?

Enter KingsCrowd.

What is KingsCrowd?

KingsCrowd is a data platform capitalizing on the $13 trillion alternative assets industry.

They provide due diligence on startups. Hundreds of startup opportunities across the crowdfunding landscape.

But the strongest feature is their proprietary ranking system. Read more about their startup rating methodology.
