New Recommendation: World Tree
By Andy Gordon on April 2, 2019
New Recommendation: Geostellar
By Adam Sharp on August 24, 2017
Dear Startup Investor, What’s the first thing that pops into people’s heads when it comes to home energy conservation? Solar panels, of course. But what a lot of homeowners don’t know is that solar panels don’t make sense for ALL homes. Which way does the roof face? Do trees block…
New Recommendation: Pre-IPO Fund 3.0
By Andy Gordon on May 18, 2017
Our first two pre-IPO funds couldn’t have gone better. And now, in light of the success of our first two funds, we’re getting ready to launch Startup Investor‘s “Private Placement 3.0” pre-IPO fund. As you might expect… we’re not resting on our laurels. With this new fund, we’re looking to…
New Recommendation: WhiteClouds
By Adam Sharp on May 9, 2017
Dear Startup Investor, I’m going to keep this alert brief. Our new recommendation, WhiteClouds, just launched on Wefunder late last week and has already raised more than $100,000. WhiteClouds is an industrial-scale 3-D printing operation. It has $5 million in sales to date and brought in $2.5 million in…
New Recommendation: Black Medicine Iced Coffee
By Adam Sharp on February 9, 2017
Dear Startup Investor, Black Medicine Iced Coffee is a company we’ve been following for about a year now. We first recommended BMIC in May of last year. You can read the original write-up here. The original raise closed, but the company just reopened for a new round. The company…
Reliant Immune Diagnostics Deal Now Live
By Adam Sharp on January 20, 2017
Note to Members: In my January 4 advance notice to you, I said that this deal closes January 24. The closing date has since been moved back to February 7. However, since only 99 of our members are allowed to invest in this deal (under SEC rules, not ours, sorry!),…
New Recommendation: Pre-IPO Fund 2.0
By Andy Gordon on September 30, 2016
Dear Startup Investor, The great thing about investing in the early stages of a company? The price, of course. You usually get a very low price. Which makes sense. After all, you’re taking on more risk by investing in young companies. But then there’s the other side of the coin.
New Recommendation: Black Medicine
By Adam Sharp on May 12, 2016
Dear Startup Investor Member, I’m going to keep today’s recommendation brief. There is only $150,000 left in the $1 million round, and we’re excited about the company. Black Medicine is based in Oakland, California, and makes amazing iced coffee. The founder, Chris Cooper, is an experienced entrepreneur and previously founded…
New Recommendation: Virtuix
By Andy Gordon on April 12, 2016
Dear Startup Investor, The wait is over. Virtual reality is here. It’s going to get interesting quickly. Samsung’s Oculus-powered Gear VR arrived last November. Facebook finally announced last week that it would begin shipping its 3-D Oculus Rift headset. HTC’s Vive is coming this month. And Sony’s PlayStation VR will…
Last Chance to Invest in Wefunder
By Adam Sharp on April 11, 2016
This is the third time we’ve recommended Wefunder to members. I first recommended Wefunder in April of 2014. Back then, its valuation cap was $15 million. Today, you can invest at a $25 million cap, which is still very reasonable. It may be the last opportunity you get before its…
New Recommendation: Pairable
By Andy Gordon on March 29, 2016
Dear Startup Investor, Like a lot of startups, Pairable wants to make our lives easier. And like a lot of startups banking on the Internet of Things boom, it’s targeting our mobile phones to help us manage our physical world. It’s addressing one of our most pressing needs. I can…
New Recommendation: mPrest
By Andy Gordon on September 24, 2015
Dear Startup Investor, This investment opportunity should not exist. But the Internet of Things – known simply as IoT – is getting off to a slow start. Not in terms of size. The market is massive thanks to cheap, easily available off-the-shelf sensors. They’re going into everything… Cars. Pipes. Factories.
New Recommendation: Articulate Technologies
By Andy Gordon on September 18, 2015
Dear Startup Investor, I had no idea how big the speech therapy market was. That is, until I met Adrienne Penake, the CEO and driving force behind Articulate Technologies. It’s based in San Francisco, where my first conversation with Adrienne took place. She told me speech therapy generates $15 billion…
New Recommendation: Barbara Corcoran Venture Partners Fund (Exclusive)

MicroVentures
By Andy Gordon on August 19, 2015
Dear Startup Investor, Today’s recommendation is no stranger to you or me. It’s really good news. You have a chance to invest in MicroVentures’ (MV) Series B round of funding. It’s an opportunity to participate in the upside of a fast-growing, well-established financial tech (fintech) company. Fintech is one of…
New Recommendation: Trustify
By Andy Gordon on July 29, 2015
Dear Startup Investor, It’s often said that you can find anything and everything on the Web. Ashley Madison is a case in point. Maybe you’ve never heard of Ashley Madison. It’s a dating site that caters to married men and women. I’m not kidding. (It’s from Canada. Such a morally…
