BOSTON - July 28, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
KingsCrowd is proud to announce its participation in the inaugural Equity Crowdfunding Awards (ECAs), a night dedicated to highlighting excellence and innovation in companies driving the equity crowdfunding industry forward. This night is all about 2021's best of the best.
The ECAs is in partnership with the 2022 Equity Crowdfunding Week conference, hosted by the Going Public series and presented by StartupStarter — the on-demand business education platform. Using quantitative and qualitative factors assessed within the power of KingsCrowd's rating & analytics platform, over 75 nominees have been selected. Participate by Voting Now. This event will culminate with an award ceremony hosted at this year's Equity Crowdfunding Week conference in Los Angeles, California, Sept. 21-23, at which point the winners will be announced and recognized on stage surrounded by industry leaders.
KingsCrowd partnered with StartupStarter this year in an effort to shed light on companies leading the charge in helping the industry go mainstream. With a down-turning investment market and a recession looming over the global economy, investors are finding new recession-proof strategies for where to generate the best return. Equity crowdfunding continues to see exponential growth across a diverse range of industries, accumulating billions of dollars in investment with more opportunities on the horizon.
2021 had an explosive year of record-breaking crowdfunding campaigns attributed to the increase of maximum raise amounts due to the Securities and Exchange Commission's adoption of new regulations. The ECAs were created to celebrate and award the Issuers who had outstanding performance along with the technologies and industry leaders who support them. The future of equity crowdfunding is looking even brighter as a much more even playing field emerges for companies wanting to raise capital on their own terms. Now, private companies have a better chance of becoming unicorns by raising from the crowd.
"KingsCrowd helps Investors find, research and track their next startup investment all in one place while using aggregated data from platforms like Wefunder, StartEngine, and Republic to help investors make more informed decisions — keeping track of their portfolio all in one place," said Chris Lustrino, founder and CEO at KingsCrowd.
"We should be asking ourselves: Is equity crowdfunding the future of alternative investment and is the world adequately prepared for a new era of retail investors on the scene? This is why we are so dedicated to educating the masses," said Lorel Scott, COO and co-founder of StartupStarter.
While the 2022 ECA nominations are a culmination of campaigns from 2021, a consortium of industry leaders from the Equity Crowdfunding Week advisory board, created in spring 2022, was also enlisted to oversee the awards. There are three award categories and 20 awards, including honorary Lifetime Achievement Award to the Barack Obama Administration for its passing of Title III of the JOBS ACT. The crowd gets to vote on the nominees utilizing a proprietary data system which allows for transparency and continuity of the awards.
The 2022 Equity Crowdfunding Week immersive experience includes three days of hybrid programming and activations throughout the city of L.A., with startup exhibitions across five immersive domes, and will cover six industry tracks to include Startups, Cleantech, Real Estate, Cannabis + Wellness, E-Commerce, Web3, and more.
In addition to being in-person, the event will offer live-streaming, online-only tickets and access to the conference through the ECW2022 iOS and Android app stores. Register to attend at www.startupstarter.co/ecw.
