“At KingsCrowd, we work tirelessly to bring data and transparency to the emerging online private markets. We feel fortunate to have a birds’ eye view of the industry and to be able to provide in-depth market insights to help investors maneuver these markets more effectively.” – Chris Lustrino, KingsCrowd Founder and CEO

“My conservative prediction… is that Reg CF investment volume will more than triple in 2021, exceeding $600 million.”  Jonny Price, Director of Fundraising at Wefunder

“We have been tracking the equity crowdfunding space since the beginning of the JOBS Act. It is an exciting time for equity crowdfunding right now — and KingsCrowd is in the right place at the right time…[and we] we continue to push the envelope everyday.” – Howie Schneider, KingsCrowd CTO

“As a venture investor, it’s clear that up until the societal shift that Regulation CF brought to the startup community, venture was a preserved asset class that was nearly aristocratic in nature — accessed only by the elite. The first iteration of the crowdfunding rule acted as a strong springboard for building momentum towards opening investing for all. Now the rule changes coupled with the evolution of the accredited investor thresholds make it clear that the archaic ways of raising capital are behind us. A new generation of solo capitalists supporting companies raising under Reg CF will see venture change for the better and provide founders with the ability to align with their community at the deepest levels.” – Andrea Walne, General Partner at Manhattan Venture Partners & KingsCrowd Advisor
