RockThePost, a leader in the startup investing space, announces its self-hosted investment crowdfunding round
Hi ,
My name is Alejandro Cremades. I am one of the founders of RockThePost, a startup investing marketplace that connects investors with early-stage tech startups. We're one of the first companies to help shape the equity crowdfunding industry that came about with the recent JOBS Act. I am excited to announce today that we are open for investments on our own platform, and we have reserved a portion of our round for Investopedia members for a limited time.
To give you a little background, RockThePost was created in 2010 at a historical moment in time when 80-year-old laws governing the advertisement and sale of private securities were changed through JOBS Act legislation. The old regulations restricted the general population from learning about and investing in startups. When the new laws are soon in place, everyone will be able to invest as little as $1,000 in the startups they believe in - an investment option previously reserved for ultra high net worth individuals, family offices and the Silicon Valley insiders.
RockThePost's mission is to democratize access to startup capital and empower individuals to make informed investment decisions.
To date, startups on the platform have collectively raised $30 million with our help, and one of our recent successes was covered by The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post a few weeks ago.
During 2013, we also established ourselves as thought leaders in the industry. I was invited to the White House and the US House of Representatives to provide my views on how crowdfunding will change the startup ecosystem. In addition, my co-founder became a contributor writer for Forbes, Huffington Post, and Business Insider, where she covers everything related to entrepreneurship and startup investing.
Lastly, the team of 7 that we have assembled is a brilliant group of experienced and hardworking individuals who complement and challenge each other to create the best experience for RockThePost's growing user base. Their backgrounds range from a former lead engineer at Tumblr (acquired by Yahoo! for $1.1 billion) to a Bain consultant and Wharton MBA.
We are united by our vision to make access to early-stage investment capital easier, and we're thrilled to bring these investment opportunities to a new group of investors like you for the first time.
