San Francisco, CA (June 12, 2024) Radivision® and KingsCrowd today announced a strategic partnership to give retail investors the tools they need to participate in the growing private markets while delivering a new funding source to startups. This collaboration unites Radivision’s strengths as a streaming and social platform that connects retail investors to startup content and opportunities with KingsCrowd’s unparalleled expertise in private market data and analytics.

The partners’ shared mission is to demystify private market investing and give more people the confidence to participate in startup wealth creation, which has outperformed the public markets by 70% or more for most of the past 25 years. This is an especially vital need today. Shifts in the public markets since 1998 have disenfranchised Main Street investors while funneling outsized gains to the largest players, contributing to the widening wealth divide in the U.S. Radivision will soon offer its members the ability ...more

Industry trade group representing the Regulated Investment Crowdfunding industry releases major policy platform with recommendations for change  

Washington, DC (May 20, 2024) - The Crowdfunding Professional Association (CfPA), the leading trade group representing the Regulated Investment Crowdfunding industry, announced the board's approval of a Policy Platform containing eighteen recommendations for the industry.

On behalf of the Crowdfunding Professional Association (CfPA), I would like to express gratitude to @Devin Thorpe and @Chandan Saha for providing CfPA with the opportunity to co-host SuperCrowd24 and for giving the CfPA board and members the opportunity to share their perspectives and expertise and to connect with a community of attendees from all over the world. The event was highly engaging and informative (-- and provided a welcome diversion following the end of this year’s tax season). 

The agenda was packed, the speakers were amazing, and the topics were relevant across a wide range of themes. Personally, I was pleased to hear numerous discussions about the possible integration of regulated investment crowdfunding into the full capital stack of various businesses -- from small enterprises seeking SBA loans to major corporations managing complex divestitures – as it points to a future where crowdfunding and community-ownership could be an important pro-social subs...more

It's a wrap! 2023 was a game of chess for investment crowdfunding. Dealflow came under pressure, but investor confidence was strong in terms of average check size and total amount of capital deployed. More established issuers came to the table, and women and minorities ended up being some of the biggest beneficiaries. It seems like the economy is poised for the soft landing the Fed was aiming for which means 2024 should be a great year for RegCF as long as geo-policial events don't take over. Here are a couple of infographics that highlight some of the key points in our 120-page annual report coming out shorty! Contact sales@theccagroup.com If you are interested in the paid report.

Explore how impact investing equity and debt deals fare against the broader crowdfunding market since May 2022, with insights on median and average funding amounts, and investor preferences.

This week, we compare the median and average amounts invested in impact investing equity and debt deals with the amounts invested in all crowdfunding deals. Our data encompasses every Reg CF and Reg A deals since May 2022.

• However, the average amount invested in impact investing deals is smaller than that in most deals. This is because only four impact deals reached $5 million in funding. This is a small portion of the 20 deals that reached $5 million or more in funding. Five of these deals received $10 million to $50 million in funding.
• Overall, impact invest
