🎭What can this classic comedy teach us about investing?

*Sponsored by

Sometimes it’s good to look to the past in order to determine the best course for the future, and heed the words of luminaries that have come before us. I am reminded of one such intellectual giant, Emil Faber and the words etched on his statue at Faber College, “Knowledge is good.”

For our millennial and Gen Z readers, Emil Faber is fictitious as is Faber College, which was the setting for “National Lampoon’s Animal House,” a movie that is a masterpiece of comedy and could never be made today because IMHO modern society is cautious, dull and generally hostile to fun 😆.

Just because he isn’t real doesn’t mean that Professor Faber’s message is not important, however. Knowledge is indeed good, and at the root of knowledge is information…

Which leads me to our favorite information source for private investing …KingsCrowd. 

To combat the lack of available information in the private markets space, KingsCrowd has developed a suite of tools that allow individual investors to access the type of information about private investment markets that were traditionally closed off to all but the most well-connected institutions.

Access to investment ideas and emerging companies in the private markets is what those in the private equity realm call “deal flow,” in between telling you how smart they are and name dropping whichever high priced business school they attended!

Deal flow is actually pretty important though, because as traders and investors, we need to be looking at a constant stream of ideas to where to deploy capital, to train ourselves to make the best decisions possible and maximize our returns.

Now with the power of the KingsCrowd platform, individuals can search through hundreds of companies and dig deep to analyze over a hundred data points on each such as deal size, founder information, and financials. The tools allow users to search based on 20 variables to quickly narrow the universe down to an actionable research list.

There are three levels of subscriptions, including a free tier that gives users the data they need to start transforming information into intelligence and take their private market investments upwards in confidence and sophistication. Some users will want to look at everything that comes along, and that is possible by just clicking into that section of the tool.

When you sign up, even for the free level, you get weekly emails from the company that highlight new deals in the pipeline. For example, this week’s email featured new offerings from companies called TeamUp, Papumba Inc, and VitaBowl with links that take you right into the platform to start digging in.

The tool also gives users market data at a more macro level, so they can look at trends by industry, offering type, platform type, etc. The Exits and Failures section is a great way to keep your finger on the pulse of what is working and not working at any given time so you can find companies that share similar characteristics to either evaluate further or run away from.

And right now, KingsCrowd is conducting a Reg A offering process with shares currently priced at $1.00 each and a minimum investment of $1,000.  

In the online private investing space, KingsCrowd is the Delta House fighting the good fight against the Dean Wormer types that would like nothing more than to keep quality market data walled off and only available to the privileged few.

Information that was previously hidden away is now available in a user-friendly platform and ready to become knowledge. Investors that seek the potential offered in private markets need KingsCrowd to level the playing field…

And YES…Knowledge is good!

To your success,
