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 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: 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: 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…

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…
