Here are seven charts that sum up key findings:

Pitchbook Angel/Seed Deals are Trending Down. Investment Crowdfunding Deals are Trending Up and Hit Record Highs

Pitchbook released the “Q4 Venture Monitor First Look” that breaks down its data. While they show Angel and Seed deals declining in 2022, Investment Crowdfunding saw the most deals funded in history. Also, this trendline continues to show an increase in funded deals. As more issuers find it challenging to access capital in 2023, we expect to see them turn online for capital.

What are the costs for a RegCF Issuance?

KoreConX
Posted at 2/2/2023

Raising capital is necessary for many companies, but it comes with a price tag. This is why we often receive questions from companies seeking to understand how to budget for the fundraising process. With Regulation Crowdfunding (Reg CF) issuances becoming increasingly popular in the United States, understanding the costs associated with these offerings is essential to successful capital raising. 

To shed a light on this topic, we have worked with our KorePartners to research the estimated budget for a Reg CF offering. However, this estimated budget is based on a variety of factors that can influence the total cost of capital raising. Thus, this information will not apply to all companies but is a general guide to the expenses involved in a Reg CF raise.

Visit our blog to learn the end-to-end details.

Change the zoning codes. Open up solutions for everyone.

Remember the “starter home?” It was a bungalow. Or a cottage? No, a rambler! I’m writing wistfully in the past tense because the starter home has largely disappeared.

This at a time when experts widely agree we need at least 6 million new homes to house all Americans? Yep. Because many cities and boroughs have made building small homes all but impossible.

The hardest project of my life was a 235 SQF “tiny home” on a 1500 SQF lot in Pittsburgh’s Garfield neighborhood.

I was attempting to build a single-family, detached home in a neighborhood with existing amenities and infrastructure. But the zoning codes as written originally left me with only 50 SQF to build on. 50!

I had to fight the zoning board and building inspector. I had to crowdfund the project (on www.SmallChange.co of course) because I couldn’t get a bank loan since there were no comps. It was as if the city had intentionally designed the codes to make the unit economics of building a starter completely unaffordable.

Online Capital Formation

KoreConX
Posted at 12/20/2022

We do write a lot about the democratization of capital because we believe that everyone should be able to participate and share in the benefits, whether as entrepreneurs, brand advocates, innovators, or investors (both accredited and non-accredited). What we may be missing here is that Regulation CF (RegCF) has matured over the past decade, and it is time to look at it in a more complex way.

For many individuals, the word “crowdfunding” still evokes Kickstarter as a Top of Mind idea. Entrepreneurs that need money to launch a product pitch their ideas online and people can contribute based on a variety of rewards listed on a website. But that is far from being a regulated entity.

RegCF helps companies turn investors into shareholders. Companies and product makers are not selling their stories anymore. They are selling their stock. And that is why we feel the word “crowdfunding” doesn’t encompass the whole idea behind it.

That is why we put together our KorePartners, like Sara Hanks (CEO...more

Risks of investing

Many of the Securities listed on our Platform are speculative and involve significant risk, including the risk that you could lose some or all of your money. We’ve described some of the factors that make these investments risky in four ways:

  • First, because many of the opportunities on our Platform will be in the real estate sector, we’ll describe risks common to that industry.
  • Second, because many of the opportunities on our Platform will be in startup or early-stage companies, we’ll describe risks common to those companies.
  • Third, we’ll describe risks common to many of the companies on the Platform, not covered in the real estate or startup categories.
  • Fourth, we’ll describe risks associated with particular kinds of securities (e.g., debt securities or equity securities).
  • Fifth, when you review a particular investment opportunity, the Issuer will also provide a list of risks specific to that opportunity.
    The order in which these factors are discussed, either here on
