Crowdfunding vs HNW investors

Which one to choose?

I hear this question a lot, so here’s a quick summary 👇

– Crowdfunding: Investors are normally users of the product.

– HNW: do not only provide money. They are often successful entrepreneurs themselves, which means they are in the perfect position to give you advice.

– Crowdfunding: Check sizes around $1000

– HNW: Check sizes from $25K up to $250K

– Crowdfunding: It doesn’t have to be equity-based.

– HNW: You give away equity and have the investor with you in the long run.

In conclusion:

🎯 Go for crowdfunding if you have a working prototype and enough capital (or a large enough audience) to give your campaign the needed initial traction.

🎯 Go for HNW investors if you think you would benefit from mentorship and connections and if you have the right kind of scalable business to attract angels.

It looks like a fund with no thesis. It is not really a fund.

An umbrella fund structure holds multiple single-purpose sub-funds, each with its own unit class and segregated assets held in the trustee’s name. Investors select an individual project rather than acquiring exposure to the whole portfolio, which means they carry concentrated exposure to that project and do not obtain diversification across the fund’s other investments.

What they took out paid for the production line

Flint’s paper battery is usually described by what it removes. Carlo Charles’s even more interesting point is that removing the materials also removed a lot of machinery, and that is why two products reached production on roughly US$4 million. Asked what is inside his battery, Carlo Charles starts with what is not. No lithium. No […]
