Amazing Campaign Performance and the Last Day to Invest in Asarasi!
Dear Asarasi Investors, Champions and Fans,
In the last day of our campaign, I am astonished and grateful for all of your support and investment in OUR company and I am excited to continue executing diligently on our mission post this fundraise. Keep up the amazing work sharing our opportunity and let's close the investment round strong this evening! What I think is the most impressive to me candidly is that we have all witnessed the crowd come together to make Asarasi's fundraise here so incredibly successful. Not stopping short of the finish line, I wanted to share an exciting statistic I learned about our campaign today. After asking Republic about Asarasi's performance relative to other campaigns on the Republic.co platform today, and naturally being a very competitive person, I wanted to take a deep dive into "the why, where, when, how and what we could do better. So... I asked.
The response honestly took me by surprise. According to Republic, as of today, Asarasi is ranked in the top 30 of all 200+ campaigns ever run here on the Republic platform at # 29 in investment volume! Now, me being me, I thought, " That sounds pretty decent right?!...but how do we compare to CPG Food and Beverage companies in our channel which I thought would be more relevant. That honestly took a little longer to compile as it turns out.
According to data sourced today from https://www.kingscrowd.com/active-deals/ which is an aggregator of crowd equity investment campaigns and their performance (note this changes daily relative to ongoing fundraises), there are currently 425 total active crowd equity campaigns ongoing as of right now. Of these 425 campaigns, it shows Asarasi as also number 29th on the list in terms of total investment performance in the SEC Reg CF Category based simply on the number of deals at our size against all other active Reg CF fundraises (not Series A or other raises also shown there). Again, not bad (and entirely coincidental)! I was moreover curious as to how Asarasi ranked not just relative to ALL industries but specifically to our sector of food and beverage with our fundraise performance. Diving in a little deeper, I found 80 active companies in the CPG Food and Beverage Sector or about 19% of the entire active campaigns raising in the crowd equity market today.
As I collected, sorted and ranked all the data, I was suddenly shocked to find that Asarasi currently is the 2nd most successful active CPG Food and Beverage Campaign across the 425 currently active campaigns of 2020! See the graph highlighting this incredible accomplishment made possible by all of you below! Asarasi is shown in green - and please note not all companies are shown only those with $50K and above raised to date.
As I mentioned, I am not one to celebrate early. So without distracting us all from the last day of the home stretch of the fundraise we are all wrapping up here, I wanted to share this incredible data with you to not only inspire but to share with you that you are investing in what the ENTIRE CROWD of crowd equity investors has deemed by the simple act of investing in our company to be... one of the best CPG Crowd Equity investments of the year!
Onward and Upward!
