Reasons to Invest

Offers institutional-grade startup data for a fraction of the price

while PitchBook and Bloomberg charge close to $24,000/year for limited private market data and focus more on public market data, Kingscrowd democratizes access to crowdfunding intelligence for $15/month.

$2.5M+ booked sales in 2025 with strategic market consolidation

Up from ~$700K last year. Kingscrowd completed 7 strategic acquisitions, including Lustro and CrowdCheck. We’ve also raised $2.1M for our in-house venture capital fund from 67 LPs.

Used by institutions and a community of 20,000+ newsletter subscribers

the SEC, Harvard, Notre Dame, and USC have referenced our research for private market analysis. Our newsletter maintains 60%+ open rates (3X industry average) and 1,000+ customers pay for our premium data and tools

For stocks, there's Bloomberg. For crypto, there's CoinMarketCap. For startup crowdfunding? There's Kingscrowd.

Industry estimates project private markets growing from $13 trillion today to more than $20 trillion by 2030 (source). Regular people aka retail investors have invested over $1.6 billion in startups since 2016 (source). Last year alone, 300,000 everyday investors backed 1,400 companies on equity crowdfunding platforms like StartEngine, Wefunder, and Republic. Most of them were investing in startups for the first time ever.

But here’s the problem.

Most Retail Investors Are Still Flying Blind

There’s no easy way to compare one startup deal to another. No standard way to know if a company is overpriced or underpriced.  Once you invest your money, good luck finding out how that company is actually doing.

Professional VCs and accredited investors have armies of analysts, expensive research tools, and inside connections. Regular retail investors? They’re reading comments on crowdfunding pages and hoping for the best.

That's where Kingscrowd comes in.

We’re inviting everyday people to not just use Kingscrowd to better inform their startup crowdfunding investments- but to own equity in Kingscrowd.

The Innovation

We built something new: a complete database of every startup raising money through equity crowdfunding in America, analyzed with industry standard methodology but priced for everyday investors. We’ve also raised $2M+ from 65+ LPs to launch the first fund focused exclusively on investing in equity crowdfunding deals based on our ratings.

We aggregate, clean, and standardize 300+ data points from 100+ crowdfunding platforms – tracking over 10,000 startups across Reg CF and Reg A+ (not sure what that means? Here is a comparison)

We don’t run equity crowdfunding campaigns. We don’t take a cut when startups raise money. What we do is analyze every metric, and rate every opportunity so you can make an investment decision with confidence instead of guesswork. Kingscrowd became the place investors go when they want real data instead of marketing hype:

We don't just analyze deals - we invest in them.

Kingscrowd Capital (KC Capital) is our $2M+ fund that puts our money where our ratings are.

We’ve deployed $928k+ across 65 investments to date, using our own algorithm to pick investments. We generate management fees (1%) and carry (10%) while aligning  our data analysis with real capital commitments.

What Is Equity Crowdfunding?

Equity crowdfunding lets everyday people invest in private companies—like startups or small businesses—and become part-owners.
  • You invest money in a private company (not on the stock market)
  • You get shares in the company (called “equity”)
  • If the company grows, your shares may become more valuable
  • If the company fails, you could lose your investment
  • Not listed on the stock market (like Apple or Google)
  • Usually early-stage or growing businesses
  • You’re investing early—before most people can
  • You invest online through regulated platforms like StartEngine or Wefunder
  • These are long-term investments (you might not see returns quickly)
  • Always read the company’s fundraising page and disclosures
  • You can lose money—only invest what you can afford

What is Equity Crowdfunding?

Equity crowdfunding is a way for regular people to invest in private companies. These are businesses that are not on the stock market yet.

When you invest, you give money to the company. In return, you get a small piece of ownership—called equity. If the company does well, your share might become more valuable. This is different from just buying a product. You’re helping a business grow—and becoming part of its journey.
