Message from the Founders

Like a lot of you, the pandemic got me deeper into the rabbit hole of personal investing. I made (and lost) the most amount of money during these last few years. A fixation I had was in trying to figure out how the really wealthy invest their money. Reports by UBS, Morgan Stanley, and US Trusts insights showed that while individual investors only had 6% in alternative investments, professional investors and family offices had over 40%.

Thankfully the introduction of the JOBS ACT in the US and similar acts in other parts of the world opened up Crowdfunding options for us.

But my experience with the legacy platforms was terrible. If you were not from the US or Europe, it was pretty hard to invest! Once you managed to invest, the money was stuck for an undue amount of time. The fact that most platforms cater predominantly to American Investors meant it severely restricted what a global investor could do.

This is how CrowdCandy started taking shape. A platform meant for the global everyday person to invest in the exciting opportunities provided by some of the fastest-growing startups in the world.

We have been working on this for a while and the platform is expected to go live soon. We have an initial group of companies that are looking to raise from you through us. Your interest will help us finalize which companies we launch first on CrowdCandy.

This is just the first step of a very long journey for us and we would appreciate any thoughts or feedback you might have.

We will also be sharing a lot of great content related to Crowdfunding, NFTs, DeFi, and more. If you are interested in these topics and want to stay updated, please feel free to sign up at crowdcandy.io
