The ABCs (all the way through Z) of Startup Investing
If you’re reading this, you probably already have an interest in investing in early stage startups (and some of you already have). But it’s hard to know where to begin. The market is constantly changing, and with so many variables at play it can be difficult to figure out which companies are truly “high potential”—and if you’re even allowed to invest in them. The question is, what megatrends will be coming of age in what time horizon?
Luckily, our Chief Financial Officer, Alice Neuhauser, broke nearly everything down in an exclusive interview with Stocks for Beginners on Monday. This one comes with our highest recommendation, and it’s as close as it gets to a definitive overview of Seismic’s unique, democratized approach to private investing. There’s not a minute wasted as Alice jumps from the current and future states of the private market, to our Regulation A+ offering that’s broken the barriers to Venture Capital investing, to the tax advantages that come with Seismic’s Qualified Small Business Stock structure, to so much more.
While the entire interview is worth a listen, here’s our best attempt at a “too long; didn’t read”: thanks to Seismic, investors of all backgrounds can now add Venture Capital to their portfolio through one simple investment in our growing selection of startups that we carefully vet for high potential. When we say “high potential,” we mean “high”—we’re searching for the next “unicorn” (aka a startup valued at $1 billion or more), and we intend to find it before it gets big. And through our active management of our portfolio companies, we aim to take the risk out of Venture Capital investing, while also maximizing returns.
