Depends

Should I use Kingscrowd?

Ratings and analytics for equity crowdfunding deals - kingscrowd.com

· 20 hours ago

A fit if you actively back Reg CF/Reg A startups and want third-party deal ratings before writing checks. Skip it if you invest elsewhere or won't pay for curated deal research.

Confidence

Medium. Based on ~50 public sources; current pricing and detailed user reviews were thin.

Gotchas - check before you buy

Pros and cons

  • Sources actual company data for deal analysis

  • Operates its own fund targeting profitable private companies

Cons

  • Current pricing not clearly published; dated $50 figure from 2021
  • No public security page found
  • Also runs its own fund and raises on StartEngine — conflict questions
  • Early-stage crowdfunding losses are common; ratings don't remove risk
  • Much content doubles as promotional write-ups for live deals
