What is KingsCrowd Capital?

KingsCrowd Capital is a data-driven venture capital fund specializing in identifying and investing in promising startups primarily within the United States. Unlike traditional VCs, they focus on equity crowdfunding platforms to find ventures that are often overlooked.

They make use of an innovative, proprietary algorithm which evaluates potential investment opportunities across more than 500 data points.

This meticulous approach to data analysis entails in-depth benchmarks and measurements of key market and company indicators, giving them a distinct edge in the early-stage investment landscape. The fund's investment philosophy is to build a diversified portfolio, aiming to increase the chances of high returns while mitigating risks associated with startup investing.

With a focus on scalability, cost-effectiveness, and time efficiency, the fund allows accredited investors to access a portfolio of roughly 100 startups with a single investment. KingsCrowd Capital primarily invests at the Seed and Early Stage phases, with reserve capital allocated for follow-on investments to double down on selected winners.

Their investment sizes range between $50,000 to $100,000, with the potential for larger follow-on amounts. The fund has a 10-year term, with a structure designed for up to 250 accredited investors, a 1% management fee, and a 10% carry.
