A message from D3VC founder, Sherwood Neiss
The private capital markets are undergoing significant changes. Venture capitalists are expanding their investment focus, and Investment Crowdfunding is becoming increasingly popular for Seed and Series A funding. This presents a unique opportunity to discover and invest in new and innovative companies at their earliest stage and with the lowest valuation. As a pioneer in the Investment Crowdfunding space, I have created the industry's first and only complete dataset that captures all companies raising money online. Since the industry's inception in 2016, I have collected over 125 data points on more than 8,000 companies. Through partnerships with leaders in data and AI, we have developed a machine learning model that can predict which companies are most likely to secure follow-on financing. We aim not to pick winners but to identify companies that later-stage venture capitalists would be interested in. By adding a human layer of diligence and diversifying investments with an average of $25K co-invested alongside hundreds or even thousands of investors who recognize the business's potential, we hope to deliver higher returns through diversification, as AngelList has noted. Since our data can be backtested, we can make even stronger predictions about our future.
