Update: Most of my investments are on the Start Engine platform but have quite a few on Wefunder and Republic (The Big Three). Also have invested on Seedinvest as well as Microventures. SeedInvest has NowRX which seems to be expanding and generating increasing revenue. They aim to compete with Walgreens and CVS with improved service and delivery. Interesting story. Seedinvest and Microventures also has some REG D deals and you must sign an NDA to view. I invested in 1 that was more or less a fund. Some of these have a lot of fees as well as Carried Interest. I avoided some just because of the Carried Interest. In some cases they get large current investors who want to sell some of their shares. I am also noticing more collectable deals in such areas as wine and sports memorabilia. Also heavy fees here but you can grab a piece of a Michael Jordan card valued at $400k for as little $500 (I think - that is the wine on SE) Also more Real Estate. Have noticed a few deals on multiple platforms. Knightscope has a round that ends in a week or so after which they plan to list publicly. Kingscrowd is company focused on research on pre public companies. I tend to check out any new investment on them (via subscription). They are also doing an offering on Republic. I think some of their analysis is based on matrix and some they do deeper dives. They tend to assign valuations and the two top categories are "Deals to Watch" and "Top Deal". They evaluate companies across a variety of metrics including: leadership, pricing, ability to differentiate, market size etc. At this point, I am not sure of the value of their opinion but it does offer some extra scrutiny. I have avoided a few based on what they wrote and always check out their "Top Deals". Liquid Piston is doing a "Test the Waters" on SE. I invested in past rounds and have done a non-binding pledge to get into the round. They recently did a REG D off platform and I didn't invest becasue the minimum was too high and you have to go through a tone of paperwork to get accredited. This round would be priced higher but you can get discounted shares. My guess is that 90% plus will fail. This is almost pure spec although some companies are generating revenue and some are even profitable. The question is how much can they scale the business and what competition will emerge. StartEngine's latest round (now closed) was after a 3 for 1 split and is priced quite a bit higher than prior rounds. Theoretically making money on this.... Hoping to get a bit more discussion. I am seeing quite a few interesting companies and would love to hear other opinions.
