Any one in here interested in Investing into a recycling program business in Texas? Or know someone who is? Feel free to shoot me a message! Business and financial models available for the business!

I have been a active investor for last 4 years. Pretty much learned everything about value investing. Also got pretty good returns in last 3 years. Want to venture into the world of equity crowdfunding. I am willing to risk around 5-10% of my income.

Getting started in Start engine and Republic (if you have some better resource let me know). I want to learn from my fellow investors about their experience, success (what strategy worked for you), failure (whats your learning out of it?), your investment thesis. Particularly how you do the due diligence, which appears to be the most critical part.

How do you keep upto date about your investment? Or any valuable suggestion you have for me.

Hello, I'm wondering what is anyone experience with Republic. Today another of my startups shut down... This time snacks TBH. But before it was StreamDX, AKUA, Capsule. The worst track record of all my crowdfunding platforms :/

Olá, sou Julio, e estou com uma missão: usar a tecnologia para apoiar a preservação da nossa Amazônia. Estou levantando R$ 1.000,00 para dar continuidade ao desenvolvimento do meu token sustentável, uma iniciativa inovadora que combina sustentabilidade e tecnologia blockchain.

Como funciona? Cada token vendido será revertido em apoio direto às entidades de proteção ambiental que estão na linha de frente da luta contra o desmatamento e a preservação de nossa biodiversidade. Esses recursos são destinados para projetos locais de educação, reflorestamento e ações de impacto social, como o apoio às comunidades indígenas.

Title says it all..what are your thoughts on investing in pre-IPO companies on StartEngine, and in particular, the one company called AtomBeam? Thanks!

Hey guys, we’re looking to close out this offering soon and wanted to share the opportunity with the group before it’s gone. This offering is a utility-scale solar energy project being developed in Georgia and we’re really excited to be able to help bring clean energy to their grid. Feel free to drop comments/questions on the website’s discussion board. See project details on our page here: https://tworiversinvest.com/ . (Energy Shares is an affiliate of Two Rivers project.)

I have invested $500 to earth ride at wefunder. And that fundraise was closed almost 2years ago around $800,000 usd. And my fund is gone. Did they just took and used my money?? Is there anyway to get it back please?? Thanks

Would love to get your thoughts on this? Not often you get access to these investments via CF

I like that it’s not just an LLM wrap around but extractive AI first

I work at a company that did a round on Crowdcube a few years ago aiming to add value to the company and of course get more funding. They had one main product that they believed could increase in value in the coming years, and made clear that buying shares you'd benefit from that product gaining traction in the future. They are about to close a deal where they are selling that product to another company, but not the company itself. Does that mean that they will cash the revenue from that product alone, and the shareholders will have nothing but the assumed value of the company? If say the company's value then plunges because they don't have any product anymore, what you end up with is fuck all, am I right? I'm a layman so not sure I understand how this works. Thanks for any help.

I could use your help reaching my fundraising goal. Every single share and donation makes a difference.

What is the best /most effective crowd sourcing app in your experience? The only one I remember is go fund me...

I just wanted to let you all know that Wefunder has been hiding from mandatory disclosures for months now. They were made aware that one of their tech/app offerings had lied about multiple factors, including who was on their current staff, and Wefunder has simply been dodging their need to alert investors. They are leaving questions hanging out there on their Q&A portal because they've been caught. The things they were told are so damning and they just won't admit that they are covering for this company (Tribel) because they enjoy having the founder's network on the site to hawk more offerings that haven't been properly vetted. The financials for this offering don't even include the predecessor project from which the "Content Team" actually comes. They hid a lawsuit that is specifically based on equity points, which is still ongoing. And everyone in the executive team, up to the CEO, has been made aware. The investors are clearly the product, not the customers.

Why I Don’t Work on Success Fees for Fundraising Deals

I’m often surprised by how many people ask me to help them raise money for free, only getting paid if they succeed. Even though I’ve written hundreds of articles explaining why this isn’t a good idea, people still ask. Let me explain why I don’t work on success fees.

Raising Money Takes Time and Effort Raising money for a project or business isn’t easy. It takes a lot of time, hard work, and planning. No one is going to help you raise millions of dollars for free. Expecting someone to do all that work without getting paid upfront is unrealistic.

Legal Problems In many places, it’s illegal to pay someone only if they succeed in raising money for you. This is because it can break certain laws about how money is raised and who can help raise it. Getting involved in something illegal can cause big problems for everyone involved.

Show Your Commitment If you don’t have at least 25% of your own money invested from friends, family, and people you know, why would strangers want to invest in your project? When you put your own money into something, it shows that you believe in it. This makes other people more likely to invest, too.

The Value of Professional Help Professionals who help raise money are experts. They have spent years learning and building connections. They deserve to be paid for their hard work and knowledge. Asking them to work for free isn’t fair and doesn’t respect their expertise.

Be Realistic About Raising Money There is no free, easy, or guaranteed way to raise money. You need a good plan, a convincing pitch, and your own money invested to have a chance at success. If you think you can get money without effort, it’s time to think again. Instead of seeking free help, consider the value of paying professionals. This can greatly increase your chances of success. It’s an investment in your business’s future.

A Final Thought If you aren’t willing to invest in your project and expect others to work for free, you might need to rethink your approach. Raising money is a serious business, and you must be serious about it. Otherwise, you might need to look for other kinds of work. By understanding the realities of raising money, you can set yourself up for success and build trust with your investors.

Goodegg Growth Fund III

Invest in a Prime Real Estate Opportunity

https://preview.redd.it/ry14311axc4d1.jpg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a0dc3154689dbd7fd83a63b24623b9416645f8c6

Introducing Goodegg Growth Fund III – a chance to invest in the thriving multifamily real estate market of Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Whether you're an accredited investor or just starting out, this fund welcomes you with a minimum investment of just $10,000. Let's dive into why this could be a game-changer for your portfolio.

Why Crowne Club Apartments?

Prime Asset in a Growing Market

Goodegg Growth Fund III centers on the Crowne Club Apartments – a 250-unit class B+ multifamily asset. Built in 1995 and meticulously maintained by the original developer, this property is located in an affluent submarket, promising strong demand and stable occupancy.

Unlock Significant Value

Here's the kicker: Crowne Club offers an incredible value-add opportunity. With $196 rent premiums ripe for the taking, the potential to increase revenue by over $630,000 annually is within reach. The strategy is clear – upgrade the Classic and Partial Renovation Units to capture these premiums and maximize the property's profitability.

Strategic Purchase Price

Purchasing at $152k per door, which is a 16.23% discount to recent trades, Goodegg is setting the stage for potential cap rate compression. This means a solid footing as interest rates are projected to drop, enhancing the value of your investment.

Projected Returns to Excite Any Investor

Promising Financial Outlook

• Preferred Return: 7% annually, paid quarterly
• Internal Rate of Return (IRR): 12-15%
• Average Annual Return: 16-20%
• Equity Multiple: 1.7x - 1.9x
• LP/GP Split: 70/30 up to 13% IRR, then 50/50 thereafter

These projected returns underscore Goodegg's commitment to providing lucrative opportunities while maintaining transparency and alignment with investors' interests.

Why Winston-Salem?

A Thriving Hub

Winston-Salem is not just a beautiful city; it's an economic powerhouse anchored by institutions like the Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center and Wake Forest University. With a robust job market and low unemployment, this area boasts a high occupancy rate and strong demand for quality housing. Limited new apartment supply further amplifies the potential for significant rent growth.

A Track Record of Success

Proven Expertise

Goodegg Investments brings a stellar track record to the table, having managed over 8,000 multifamily units valued at $1.4B+. Their history of successful exits and exceptional returns speaks volumes about their expertise and reliability.

Has anyone looked into this Boom Boom Wefunder? The product is amazing and seems to be in every retailer. I’m surprised at how small of a company it is and after having been blown away by the product I feel it could really take off. One little sniff (it’s not even a spray) and you can instantly start breathing twice as good and air is instantly fresh. Like a breath mint for the nose. It actually helped me stop snoring last night…

Anyways. Curious if anyone’s looked into it and if you think it’s a legit investment!

Does anyone know how much WeFunder charges companies for their crowdfunding campaigns?

Hello friends! I'm an active investor on more crowdfunding platforms. I really like Kingscrowd, but the subscription is quite expensive. I was thinking of getting some more people to pool subscription (similar like sharing Netflix etc.). Would someone be interested in such an idea? Thank you :)
