Until now, investors could invest into publicly traded companies that are listed on the exchanges (NY Stock Exchange, NASDAQ, etc.), with all information re: these companies being made available to the public via quarterly earnings announcements and audited financial reports.  But, the vast majority of companies are private, so investing in them was much more difficult, as was digging thru financial information of them.  The jobs Act of 2012 made many of these companies eligible for public investing but gathering and analyzing the financial info on the companies remained a daunting task.  This allows the small investor to participate in these Venture Capital and Private Equity opportunities.  KingsCrowd provides the information and analytics to evaluate these companies.  We hope  you enjoy this interview.
