Today at 1:00 Eastern/10:00 Pacific, I’ll be presenting at the Crowdfunding Professional Association monthly webinar. I’ll share key tips for using AI to streamline crowdfunding from my book Crowdfunding Made Simple: A Step-by-Step Guide to Raising Capital Using AI Tools. Register for free here.
As we gear up for the 1:00 PM Eastern, April 15, meeting of the Impact Cherub Club, we invite you to join us. The club meets to review impact investments that everyone is eligible to make and that virtually anyone can afford. We share responsibility for completing basic due diligence before making investments. While members are encouraged to invest in the Club’s picks, no one is required to invest.
The Club is open to all “Impact Members” of the SuperCrowd (our paying subscribers). I don’t touch the Money members invest. They do so directly for their own accounts. We benefit from new members through the fresh perspectives they bring and our growing social impact. Please join us!
At our next meeting on April 15, at 1:00 PM Eastern/10:00 AM Pacific, consistent with our plans for future sessions, the agenda will have three items:
Diligence Reports
Post Mortem
Preliminary Consideration of New Candidate Investments
Short-Fuse Offering
I’ll review those items in reverse order.
Each month, including at our next meeting, we look quickly at a short-fuse offering—one with too short an offering window for our two-meeting review cycle—that I pick for the group’s consideration. This pick will be chosen between now and the meeting on Tuesday. Join us to find out what I picked and how the club votes!
After some preliminary screening, I’ve shared some candidate offerings with the members of the club to choose which we’ll review this month. Members chose the following:
Playper is an award-winning, eco-friendly toy company dedicated to creating sustainable, build-it-yourself playsets and storytelling card sets that inspire open-ended, hands-on play. Their products are crafted from PlayperBoard®, a durable, 100% recyclable material printed with soy and vegetable inks, ensuring safety and environmental responsibility. Led by former executives from Paw Patrol, Mattel, and Fisher-Price, Playper is launching in the nation’s largest bookstore chain with over 600 stores in Q1 2025. Investors can participate with a minimum investment of $100 through a convertible note with a $5 million valuation cap and 20% discount. The company is raising on Wefunder.
Unsmudgeable is revolutionizing the $585 billion eyewear industry with its proprietary anti-smudge coating that makes fingerprints fade away, enhancing lens visibility by 140%. Their PFAS-free, permanent solution integrates seamlessly into existing manufacturing processes. The company has raised $27.7K in non-dilutive funding and $75K in a pre-seed round, with a $5 million valuation cap. They’ve secured a letter of intent with Bühler Leybold Optics and are in discussions with industry leaders like Shamir Optical and BASF. Investors can participate with a minimum investment of $100 through a Future Equity Agreement (SAFE). The company is raising on Wefunder.
Each month, we’ll take a look at one of our past investments, including both failures and successes, to see what we can learn to improve our due diligence for new investments we consider.
We’ll begin with the due diligence reports from the Impact Cherub Club members who volunteered to research the companies after we briefly learned a bit about them last month. After hearing the members’ reports, we’ll vote to determine whether or not to recommend investment in the companies. The decision will be made available to all Impact Cherub Club members, including those who don’t attend this month. Register here.
Here are the companies we’ll learn more about this month:
The West Sacramento EV Rechargerie, developed by Mynt Systems, aims to install 10 hyper-fast electric vehicle charging stations in West Sacramento, serving over 100,000 daily drivers on a popular California route. Partnering with Quick Quack, known for eco-friendly practices like reclaiming 99% of wash water, the project seeks to reduce range Anxiety and promote sustainability. It’s projected to offset 11,400 tons of CO₂ annually, equivalent to removing 1.2 million gallons of gasoline. The initiative has secured a $550,000 CALeVIP Rebate. Mynt is raising on Climatize.
PRIMO Health Partners is a virtual healthcare provider offering subscription-based access to urgent, primary, and specialty care services. Leveraging their AI platform, TREND AI, they unify medical records in real time to enhance patient care. Founded in November 2021 by CEO William Cooper, the company has achieved $500,000 in annual revenue with a 68% gross margin. Currently, PRIMO is raising funds on StartEngine at a $10 million pre-money valuation, with a minimum investment of $100. The proceeds aim to support inventory, research and development, and staffing. This investment offers an opportunity to participate in the growing telehealth sector.
