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

KingsCrowd has become my first stop for information before making a crowdfunding investment. The product is phenomenal, and just keeps getting better.

We’ve spent seven years building the hardest part: a comprehensive database that tracks every startup crowdfunding deal in real-time. The next step is to aim to be the platform retail investors use by default.
With our recent acquisitions integrated and 2025-2026 plans, this funding round will help us:
to reach institutions, founders, and platform partners who need our data
to enhance our custom AI-trained tools for performance tracking and advisory

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.
