This week on Investment Roundtable, we tackle two major topics shaking up the investment crowdfunding space:
🚀 IPOs in Crowdfunding: Beta Bionics & Cloudastructure
Two startups that raised money from retail investors went public this week, but there were major hurdles for investors. From locked-up shares to poor planning, we discuss what this means for future IPOs in the industry.
💰 Is Equity Crowdfunding Truly Democratizing Capital?
Since it’s Black History Month, we analyzed whether Black founders are getting better access to capital through crowdfunding compared to venture capital. We dive into the stark funding gap, where Black-led startups get a fraction of VC funding but perform better in equity crowdfunding.
Join Brian, Teddy, and Leah, with special guest Scott Kitun, as they break down the numbers and discuss the real challenges and opportunities in startup investing.
