My gut tells me humane is going to ultimately enter the annals of history as just another insanely well backed startup that fails like quibi and essential. Creating tech for tech-saque rather than solving a problem is a failing proposition. https://t.co/MpNYFxEmJL

While 38% of VCs disappeared from dealmaking things year, @kingscrowdinc capital leaned in with 25 data-driven investments across 13 industries with 20%+ in female and minority founders. What a year!

There is so much we can learn from John Kempf and his team @AdvancingEcoAg. Learn how John has grown this regenerative farming company to $18M in revenue without raising a dime and how you can invest today! https://t.co/ugPSeGdfmf

Excited to announce the launch of @raisepapers, a @kingscrowdinc company focused on serving founders with affordable, easy to use tools for filing docs to raise online via RegCF, RegA and RegD! We are here to serve exceptional founders!

Likely won't get tons of coverage but plenty of amazing companies raising capital in public that are providing returns to investors along the way and creating great outcomes! Love to see it. Thanks for sharing @Crowdscale1

Just received word that one of my earliest startup investments is issuing a $100,000 distribution to investors!

Two of my most successful startup investments have been boring businesses: data compaction and sidewalk repair

I usually find people build in public for no more than 2-4 weeks on average. #hbu

Dang i invested in some pappy van winkle on @OnRallyRd after reading about the incredible fervor of the whiskey in Pappyland. And it's up 600% since first being listed and about 150% since I invested. Not too shabby...

[Chris Lustrino @SimpleInnovativ]

@cluesdotlife 100%

[Chris Lustrino @SimpleInnovativ]

@JonnyCPrice Yep they will want to be owners in the winners of the @KentuckyDerby like #mage via @CommonwealthFN

[Chris Lustrino @SimpleInnovativ]

Unbelievable, the most prestigious race in the world was won by a fractionally owned horse #Mage via @CommonwealthFN with over 300 owners lives being impacted forever.#the future of ownership. Love to see it. The reinvention of asset ownership is upon us. @Jason @KendrickEsq

[Chris Lustrino @SimpleInnovativ]

@ccnaysmith Congrats! Not easy.

[Chris Lustrino @SimpleInnovativ]

@etanbutler and I sat down to discuss how Dalmore Group is creating one of the most accessible, low cost solutions for all founders and capital raising providers to raise from retail investors! I love seeing the evolution of private capital markets! https://t.co/KnRaEyBOG6

@Jamesashields @kingscrowdinc That's easy, how could we not let our customers back us? They've become our greatest advocates and grow from nothing into the leading data provider for alt investing with thousands of paid customers!

[Chris Lustrino @SimpleInnovativ]

(1 of 15) #AI will dominate the next decade of #VC investing. Now every #VC will tell you there is no way you can invest in #startups with data. What they didn't plan for was @kingscrowdinc and our data set of 6,000+ private startups with real financials. Here's how we did it!

[Chris Lustrino @SimpleInnovativ]

The best part is, investors had unreal access to accurate financial and operating data in these cos before investing. This to me is the reinvention of startup investing.

[Chris Lustrino @SimpleInnovativ]

@HarryStebbings what r ur thoughts on the fact that platforms like @Seedrs in the #UK and @Wefunder in the #US are enabling anyone to become a venture investor with competitive VC backed investment opportunities that can provide outsized opps to anyone globally??

[Chris Lustrino @SimpleInnovativ]

Companies like @InvestWithAlto @mercury @MavenHQ r just come of the amazing companies that have been available to invest in via platforms like @joinrepublic

[Chris Lustrino @SimpleInnovativ]

@Jamesashields Of course. But the deals u r getting via #regcf and #regA+ are already great. Don't discount the access bon-accredited has. In many instances the deals r better than ud find in traditional private markets, just saying.
