VERDICT

Crowdwise Review

Depends

Should I use Crowdwise?

Invest in exciting startups and help create a brighter future for the world (and your portfolio). Helping investors master equity crowdfunding. - crowdwise.org

· 17 hours ago

Crowdwise is free-to-cheap investor education for equity crowdfunding, not a funding portal or investing tool — read the free guides if you're a retail investor, pay only if you're serious. Evidence is thin and mixed; the founder appears to have moved on to KingsCrowd.

Confidence

Low. Based on ~11 usable public sources; many search results were unrelated 'Crowdwise' sites (theme parks, bands, campaigns).

Gotchas - check before you buy

medium

Advanced 'Crowdwise Academy' courses exist but pricing isn't public

medium

No security page; unclear how investor account data is protected

Thin review footprint makes support quality unverifiable

Guess: future standalone content updates uncertain post-KingsCrowd move

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Large free library: due diligence, deal types, terminology guides
  • Portal reviews help compare equity crowdfunding platforms
  • Free investor account signup
  • Founder publicly engaged SEC on Reg CF reform
  • Guess: founder's expertise now folded into KingsCrowd analytics

Cons

  • Not a funding platform — no deals to invest in
  • Almost no public reviews to verify quality or support
  • No published security page
  • Guess: standalone activity may have slowed after founder joined KingsCrowd
