At present, we’re surrounded by darkness. But if you look ahead, you’ll see the light at the end of this tunnel we’re in …
The rich, ultra rich and their smaller imitators, the accredited investor, have used their representatives in Congress, the “cops” in the captive regulatory agencies and their cronies in the private equity and venture capital communities, to steal America’s wealth. They do it by hiding behind regulations and prohibitions that prevent the ordinary citizen from taking advantage of the newest innovations, reserving all such opportunities solely to those able to scale the high fence of “accredited investor” status.
In 2019, being someone within this select group has become the sole route of access to these opportunities and to the creation of the wealth which such access ensures. And to add insult to injury, when the private companies where this wealth is first created finally deign to “go public”, the little guy gets hosed again. Why? Because just prior to the company’s IPO, with its valuation having soared into the stratosphere, all of this value is wrung out beforehand by the excessively greedy hands of those middlemen who touch the securities on their way to their ultimate owners, the general public.
So, what’s the solution? That’s easy; keep those opportunities out of the hands of those who have gorged on them for long enough: provide those opportunities instead directly to the general public. How? Through the mechanisms provided by a new development, investment-based crowdfunding and, in particular, equity-based crowdfunding. But how is that accomplished fairly? How do you ensure that the opportunities you make available to “ordinary Joes and Janes” are actually good opportunities, not junk or scams?
The answer is Archimedes’ OffspringTM. What is Archimedes’ Offspring? It’s an “umbrella” that creates investment opportunities for ordinary investors, using investment-based crowdfunding, and grabbing those opportunities at the earliest point possible: when they spring from the head of the inventor. Yes, we put the investor in touch directly with the innovator, cutting out the middlemen who currently soak up so much of the value of innovation. What we’re up to is literally re-inventing innovation.
