About this raise: KingsCrowd, with a post-money valuation of $4.6 million, is raising funds on NetCapital. The company is creating the first data-driven online ratings and analytics platform for private companies, with particular emphasis on growth-stage companies. KingsCrowd uses artificial intelligence to capture, rate, and track early-stage companies and is building a related database. Through the process, the company is taking the guesswork out of investing in startups. KingsCrowd was founded by Christopher Lustrino in 2018 and has raised $106,999 and $23,063 respectively in its two prior raises on NetCapital. The current crowdfunding round has a minimum target of $10,000 and a maximum target of $1,000,000, and the proceeds will be used for developing the ratings and analytics platform, growing the research team, business development and customer acquisition, and general purposes. KingsCrowd already generates annual recurring revenue of more than $20,000 and has recently acquired Crowditz to give it a massive data advantage.
