Introducing Hubtas Newsletter

Hubtas is dedicated to being the #1 Resource for retail startup investors. This all started back in May (Yup, Hubtas has only been around for about 6 months!) with the product you know and love: the Hubtas data & analytics platform. We provide 100+ data points on 300+ startups currently raising from retail investors and offer powerful tools such as an objective rating criteria, no code user made algorithms, a stock screener, email alerts on companies that fit your criteria, industry data, and much more!

Notably, a few weeks ago, we launched Hubtas Media, where we share up-to-date news about everything happening in the world of equity crowdfunding.

Now, we’re launching a new weekly newsletter to further that goal of becoming the #1 tool by having all the weekly crowdfunding news and updates right to your inbox.

Last Week's News

It was an eventful week for equity crowdfunding, especially StartEngine. The company ended its nearly two-year-long raise at just under $25 million raised.

and launched Airtable on StartEngine Private, their accredited-only platform. Their first offering, Attentive, wasn’t maxed out as of their last update, but Airtable maxed out after only about 24 hours. The company said they were selling up to $500,000 in stock, and might make more available if there’s sufficient demand.

Then, obviously, the big story of the week was all about Sam Altman and OpenAI. The events unfolded incredibly quickly, changing by the hour. It’s still unclear exactly what happened, but we do know that Sam Altman was fired as CEO of OpenAI, then hired by Microsoft but has now been rehired as the CEO of OpenAI.

Weekly Quant Breakdown

We chose quant scores to outline first for a reason: they’re constantly changing, so we want to make sure you’re updated on the top rated companies based on the latest data.

Last week’s top three are:

• Sorting Robotics: This is seemingly a diamond in the rough. The company is in the business of automated cannabis manufacturing, but only raised $1305 so far in their ongoing raise. Notably, the company is a Y-Combinator alum and backed by 2 notable venture capital firms. The company is cashflow positive in 2023, tripled revenue from 2021 to 2022, and has a founding team with 2 previous exits. By all accounts, this company checks all the boxes, but isn’t seeing the traction it probably deserves.

• Mishka Premium Vodka: Remember how we said this system rewards being the top company in every industry? Well, that’s why Mishka is coming in at #2. 144% revenue growth, $91k revenue per employee, and 65% gross margins all while sitting at a valuation of roughly $20 million.

• Psyonic: They were previously ranked #1, but dropped down last week, likely due to increased competition in the medical devices space. Psyonic makes bionic hands with a sense of touch, but they’re profitable with great underlying financials, making them a strong contender for one of the top companies in all of equity crowdfunding.
