Step-by-Step Guide to Using Kingscrowd’s Watchlist

Kingscrowd’s Watchlist feature enables investors to easily track companies they’re interested in, monitor funding progress, and stay informed on upcoming deadlines. This tool is ideal for those looking to organize and prioritize potential investments in the equity crowdfunding space. Here’s a guide on how to build and manage your Watchlist.

Step 1: Adding Companies to Your Watchlist

  1. Navigate to a Company’s Raise Page: Start by visiting the raise page of a company you want to follow on the Kingscrowd platform. For this example, let’s go to GameFlip’s page.
  2. Select ‘Add to Watchlist’: On the right-hand side of the page, you’ll see options to ‘Add to Watchlist’ and ‘Add to Portfolio.’ Click ‘Add to Watchlist’ to begin following the company.

Step 2: Accessing Your Watchlist

  1. Go to ‘My Portfolio’: Click on the ‘My Portfolio’ link in the main navigation to view your Watchlist and followed companies.
  2. Open the ‘Following’ Section: In the left-hand menu, select ‘Following’ to see all companies you’ve added to your Watchlist. For instance, GameFlip will now appear with details like days left in their fundraise, funds raised so far, and valuation.

Step 3: Managing Companies on Your Watchlist

  1. Remove Companies from Watchlist: If a company has already completed its funding or you’re no longer interested in it, you can easily remove it. Go to the raise page and click ‘Unfollow’ or use the delete button within your Watchlist to remove it.
  2. Stay Updated on Key Dates: Kingscrowd’s Watchlist helps you prioritize active deals by showing how much time is left before they close or sell out. This feature is essential for keeping track of deals that may require timely decision-making.

Step 4: Prioritizing Deals

  1. Monitor Closing Soon Deals: The Watchlist highlights companies nearing the end of their fundraising period, allowing you to finish due diligence and make investment decisions accordingly.
  2. Track Funding Progress: You can see which companies are close to reaching their funding maximum, giving you the chance to act quickly on popular deals that may sell out.

Step 5: Searching and Adding Companies from the Following Page

  1. Add Companies Directly from the Watchlist: From the ‘Following’ section, you can add companies by typing their name in the search bar. For instance, searching “Kings” will bring up Kingscrowd, which you can then add to your Watchlist with one click.
