In this week’s episode of Investment Roundtable, the Kingscrowd team discusses potential regulatory changes in 2025 and how they could impact startup investing. We also dive into our Chart of the Week, analyzing data from the top equity crowdfunding platforms and how their investment sizes and median raises compare.
Scott Kitun joins us to break down the evolving regulatory environment, including how Andreessen Horowitz and the SEC’s new crypto task force could reshape reg CF and reg A offerings. Plus, we explore how funding platforms like Wefunder, Republic, StartEngine, and Dealmaker are performing and what it means for investors and founders.
What regulatory changes are expected for equity crowdfunding in 2025?
The SEC is under pressure to increase fundraising caps for reg CF & reg A offerings. Venture firms like Andreessen Horowitz are pushing for clearer crypto regulations under reg CF, which could bring more blockchain-based investments into the space.
How are equity crowdfunding platforms performing in 2025?
Our Chart of the Week shows that Dealmaker is emerging as a top-performing platform, raising higher median investments than competitors. Meanwhile, Wefunder and Republic continue to dominate in volume, but raise lower average amounts.
Q: What should investors look for when choosing a crowdfunding platform?
Investors should consider platform specialization—some platforms focus on high-growth startups, while others cater to local businesses and consumer brands. Kingscrowd helps investors track platform performance and identify high-potential deals.
