We have developed (and will continue to develop) many resources to aid new investors in equity crowdfunding.
Academy
Free courses (we strive to be better than most paid content out there) to help you learn everything you need to get started, as well as topics for the more advanced investor.
Calculators
Online calculators to assist investors with converting between IRR and exit multiples, figuring out your Regulation Crowdfunding 12-month limit, and more.
Investor Book Summaries
We read books about equity crowdfunding, angel investing, venture capital, and investor psychology and boil down the key takeaways for crowdfund investors.
