Early Stage Multi-Company Fund (Partner: MicroVentures)
By Adam Sharp on March 31, 2015
Dear Startup Investor, Not all funds that invest in startups are created equal… I’ve tracked dozens of them over the past few years. I found that the truly outstanding ones are run by managers with a knack for identifying winners. And that’s why I’m so excited about our new fund partnership with MicroVentures. It’s another exclusive for Startup Investor members. I expect the first one will fill up fast. We’re targeting early-stage companies this time, and there are excellent opportunities…
New Recommendation: Care at Hand
By Andy Gordon on March 24, 2015
Dear Startup Investor, Obamacare… It’s the most expensive healthcare system in the modern world, right? If that’s not bad enough, the numbers rarely add up. Patients either pay too much or too little… Hospitals get reimbursed too much or not enough… And doctors get overcompensated or undercompensated. The government…
New Recommendation: Bohemian Guitars
By Andy Gordon on February 19, 2015
Dear Startup Investor: Bohemian Guitars is not your typical musical instrument company… Founded by two blokes from Johannesburg, the company makes its guitars from empty oil cans, scrap metals and other recycled materials. Here’s a picture… Hey, even somebody of my advanced age can appreciate its looks.
Dealflicks
By Adam Sharp on January 2, 2015
Dealflicks is Priceline for movie tickets. $40 billion dollars are spent every year on movie tickets, popcorn, and soda, but 88% of movie theater seats are empty. Dealflicks partners with theaters to fill these empty seats by selling movie tickets and concessions for up to 60% off.
Social Bicycles
By Adam Sharp on December 10, 2014
Social Bikes is building the ultimate platform for bike rental.
NetPlenish
By Andy Gordon on December 10, 2014
I’ve probably seen dozens of e-commerce services launched by startups over the last year.
None come close to NetPlenish’s. It’s a great idea backed by uber-successful entrepreneur Steve Markowitz. He already led one startup to over a $2 billion market capitalization.
Knightscope
By Andy Gordon on November 10, 2014
Knightscope is the latest impressive startup raising funds on AngelList. The company has designed the world’s first effective crime-fighting “Robocop.” These “autonomous data machines” come outfitted with predictive analytic and social engagement capabilities. As you see, they look more like R2-D2 than Robocop… I’ve checked off all my…
Liquidity Nanotech Corporation
By Andy Gordon on September 17, 2014
Dear Startup Investor: Most of us take clean water for granted. But in large swaths of the developing world, clean water is only a dream. I know. I’ve been to many places in Asia, Africa and Russia where the water was filthy. I’ve also marketed clean-water technology in these regions.
Underground Cellar
By Adam Sharp on September 15, 2014
Our latest recommendation is exciting for a number of reasons. First, you’ll be investing alongside Barbara Corcoran from ABC’s Shark Tank. Barbara’s a real estate mogul who has migrated to startup investing, and happens to be my favorite of the “Sharks” who invest in startups on their top-rated TV…
MicroVentures Pre-IPO Fund
By Andy Gordon on September 2, 2014
Dear Startup Investor: This recommendation is a little different. For one, how would you like to start cashing in on this investment I’m recommending to you as soon as one year from now? You can, because it targets mature or late-stage startups poised to potentially go public in the next…
Privy
By Andy Gordon on August 19, 2014
Dear Startup Investor: Boy, does digital marketing have a long way to go. Sure, there’s no shortage of ways to advertise digitally. Choose one you like best: organic posts, promoted posts, Facebook ads, Google display ads, other online ads or email campaigns. It’s a pretty good range of choices, I’ll…
Social Rewards
By Andy Gordon on August 14, 2014
Dear Startup Investor: Restaurants, stores and airlines have loyalty programs. Heck, even your local supermarkets have them. And why not? Reward programs are booming. Retailers of all stripes are getting people more involved through sites like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Instagram. But left behind is the $40 billion movie industry.
Geekatoo
By Andy Gordon on June 26, 2014
Dear Startup Investor: My only question about startup Geekatoo is what took so long for somebody to do this? Need help with your computer, smartphone or TV? Place an order online, or go through the company’s app, and Geekatoo will send a qualified technician to your home. They’ll fix…
Magnises
By Adam Sharp on June 23, 2014
This new recommendation is one of the fastest-growing startups I’ve seen. The minimum investment is only $1,000, so I strongly encourage readers to take a look at this opportunity. Magnises is a “black card” for young up-and-comers. The company transfers the magnetic strip from an existing credit or debit card…
Apploi (Putting a Nation Back to Work)
By Andy Gordon on June 6, 2014
Dear Startup Investor: I’ve evaluated about 300 startups since the beginning of the year. Many of them had nice technology and pretty good leadership teams. But I didn’t bite. Why? They didn’t have what the company I’m recommending to you today has in spades. Many times these new technologies simply…
Connect.com: Strong Leadership, Great Product, Big-Name Investors
By Adam Sharp on May 20, 2014
Connect is not your typical social media startup. It pulls data from all the major social networks and puts everything together in one place. The app makes it easy to see where your friends are in real time and connect with them. Here’s what the app looks like:…
