We’re Breaking Into the Smoke-Filled Room
Who’s Coming With Us?
The past few years have triggered a revolution in how regular people can invest. And we’re not talking about the stock market, or even crypto. In fact, the impact of recent legal and regulatory changes is so dramatic, so sweeping, that it’s still being sorted out in real time by some of the sharpest financial engineers on the Street.
For nearly 100 years, regular investors in America were locked out of the biggest and best opportunities: private deals. Unavailable on the stock market, these investments were reserved—by law—for the wealthy few such as hedge fund managers and other Wall Street fat cats. And while these deals were riskier, the rewards for those who had a piece of them were potentially much greater as well. Meanwhile back in the “real world” of the public markets, unless people happened to stumble into the next Amazon or Nvidia early, most have been happy to eke out a ~6% return, and be thankful for the privilege.
But amazingly, in the 2010s, the government actually identified a problem and solved it, passing the JOBS (or “Jumpstart Our Business Startups”) Act into law. The JOBS Act introduced “equity crowdfunding”, or the idea that—for the first time in generations—regular people could once again invest in early-stage companies that weren’t listed on a stock exchange, and the possibility that comes with it of earning many times their original investment.
Since then, we’ve seen an explosion of private startups using crowdfunding, several different ways for them to do it, funding portals, broker-dealers, specialty exchanges for buying and selling, and other specialized tech to power the whole system. The two most prominent crowdfunding platforms featured a combined 850 offerings in 2023, and they only amount to around 60% of the industry.
And it doesn’t stop at startups. The “tokenization” of assets now means that you can even buy partial ownership rights in all kinds of things, from real estate, to race horses, to barrels of whiskey, to luxury sports cars, to collectible sports memorabilia, to rare comic books, to the outcome of gigantic lawsuits, and even the future revenue streams of pro athletes. And if those assets rise in value, you get to come along for the ride.
If this seems like a lot to take in, that’s because it is. But InvestmentX is here to make sense of it all. We cover the entire equity crowdfunding space, including the hottest deals, the most fascinating founders, the latest trends, and data, interviews and perspectives you won’t find anywhere else.
So sign up with your email below, and join InvestmentX as we break down the doors to the smoke-filled room, and give the power back to the people.
“Hi. I’m Sean Levine. I’m a lawyer, a stock and commodity analyst, an investment banker and an entrepreneur. But most importantly, I’m a deal guy. I’ve spent the past 15 or so years scouring the country, sometimes the globe, for early-stage companies whose founders are trying to change the world.
Because of how I’m positioned, I run into all kinds of creative opportunities. For products, for businesses, and for ways to invest.
Entrepreneurs are amazing people. I’m sure you probably know a few yourself. It takes a special kind of person to look at the world around them, and see what COULD be, instead of what is.
I love that I am fortunate enough to be in a position to meet these fascinating people every day. I love watching them chase their dreams to change the world, in real time, and being able to celebrate with them when they succeed.
I love being able to call many of them my friends.
I want you to get to know them too.
These entrepreneurs and founders are great people. But they can’t do everything themselves.
They need someone to help them tell their stories.
They need my help.
So, like any good entrepreneur, I’m stepping up.
Enter your email below, and take that step with me.”
This is investing’s most unique, most promising frontier.

InvestmentX provides information about the stock market and other investments. Additionally, from time to time InvestmentX will disseminate information about a company via website, email, sms, and other points of media.

InvestmentX makes no recommendation that the securities of the companies profiled or discussed on this website should be purchased, sold or held by viewers that learn of the profiled companies through our website or related content.
Moreover, because of the compensation we receive from Clients to conduct Campaigns, our opinion is neither unbiased nor independent, and you should consider that when evaluating our statements regarding featured Clients. While InvestmentX has performed research regarding the investment thesis for featured Clients and believes such Clients’ business, claims and expectations to be reasonable and defensible, neither InvestmentX nor any affiliated party has performed the level of due diligence that is standard for a registered licensed intermediary in the sale or marketing of securities, and neither this content nor any other content disseminated by InvestmentX regarding our Clients should be considered to be either a formal recommendation to buy the securities of Clients, nor investment advice.
Aside from paid content featuring our Clients, from time to time certain additional content on this website is written and published by our employees or third parties. In such instances, our website may contain the names or stock symbols of companies and/or news feeds about companies that are not being profiled by us but are merely illustrative of certain activity in the private, micro cap or penny stock market that we are highlighting. In such cases, it is possible that one or more of the companies discussed or profiled on this website may not have approved certain or any statements within the website. Much like the Information featuring our Clients, viewers are advised that all analysis reports and news feeds are issued solely for informational purposes. Any opinions expressed are subject to change without notice.
Compensation: Iliad Funds Solutions, LLC (or “Iliad”, d/b/a “InvestmentX”) has been retained by a Client whose identity will be disclosed when featured by InvestmentX, to perform promotional and advertising services for a limited time with respect to the Client. In exchange for such services, Iliad has received cash compensation from that Client for the total sum of $3,000.00 to date. Iliad has received this amount for coordinating and managing advertising efforts to ascertain market interest in an eventual feature of Client. Services include the contents of this website and other related communications that we release concerning InvestmentX and the eventual featuring of Client.
If Compensation includes - or if we otherwise own - any positions in the securities mentioned on our website or in any associated content, we will list the information relevant to the stock and the number of shares here. In this case, there are no such positions.
Unless explicitly stated by InvestmentX, neither Clients featured nor other companies discussed by InvestmentX are clients of any broker-dealer or any other regulated entity responsible for maintaining the securities licenses of any individuals affiliated with InvestmentX or Iliad Funds Solutions, LLC. As such, unless there is an existing client relationship between a featured company and a broker-dealer maintaining the securities licenses of any such InvestmentX-affiliated individual, such licensed individuals cannot and will not receive sales commission in connection with any company featured by InvestmentX. In this case, there is no such relationship.
Risks: Any decision to invest in any companies featured on InvestmentX should not be made solely based upon the Information provided herein. At most, this communication should serve only as a starting point to do your own research on the companies profiled or discussed in order to enable the viewer to form a full, independent opinion regarding investing in the securities of such companies. Viewers should consult with a licensed professional regarding the companies profiled and discussed.
Investing in unlisted companies, micro-cap securities, or companies with low share prices, including the securities of those companies profiled or discussed on this website, is highly speculative and carries an extremely high degree of risk. Your results may vary, and there are no guarantees concerning the level of success you may experience. Losses for publicly traded companies can be larger than expected if the company experiences problems with liquidity or wide spreads, while securities of unlisted companies are often extremely illiquid, if not impossible, to sell. It is possible that a viewer’s entire investment may be lost or impaired due to the speculative nature of the companies profiled. Never invest in any security of a company profiled or discussed on this website unless you can afford to lose your entire investment.
