Personalize Your Investment Algorithm
Or use ones inspired by Top Investors
With over 300 live investment crowdfunding deals that you can invest in, finding that perfect gem can be quite the challenge.
Hubtas’s Custom Algorithm feature is your personalized investment analyst, finding the investment opportunities that best match your style and goals.
Whether you prioritize revenue growth, profitability, or the experience of the founding team, you can customize the criteria and weight for every factor to craft an algorithm that reflects your investment thesis.
The total score is weighted out of 100 across 12 different factors. For every factor, you can customize the criteria and weight.
To make finding investments even easier, we created some preset algorithms inspired by top VCs and investors. These carefully crafted presets provide you with a solid starting point, leveraging the wisdom and strategies of successful investors. You have the flexibility to use them as they are or tweak them further to align with your specific preferences.
Y-Combinator Inspired
Y-Combinator is a renowned startup accelerator that was an early investor in companies like Airbnb, Coinbase, Cruise, DoorDash, Dropbox, Instacart, Quora, PagerDuty, Reddit, Stripe, and Twitch.
There have been many Y-Combinator-backed startups that went on to have Reg CF rounds on portals like Wefunder. Some of these startups include Substack, which raised $7,809,219 from 6,688 investors early this year, and MTailor, which has already raised $1,969,954 from 1,334 investors and continues to accept investments.
We analyzed such Y-Combinator deals for the 12 scoring factors to create an algorithm that we believe best encompasses what YC values - Founder Past Exit, Post-Revenue Stage, High Revenue Growth, Full-time CEO.
Shark Tank Inspired
The Shark Tank Algorithm takes inspiration from the TV Series where entrepreneurs pitch their ideas to seasoned investors, the Sharks, who focus on each investment opportunity with the question “how will I get my return?”
Most companies that are fortunate to get a chance to pitch the Sharks are also able to market their product to the viewers.
We delved into live and closed deals that received investments from a Shark and later went on to raise funds through Equity Crowdfunding to capture the essence of what makes a successful Shark Tank deal - Post-Revenue, Profitable, Experienced Founder, and Intellectual Property.
Warren Buffett Inspired
Warren Buffett, often referred to as the Oracle of Omaha, is renowned for his value investing approach. Our Warren Buffett preset aligns with his investment philosophy, focusing on factors such as Cash Flow, Profit Margins, and Sustainable Competitive Advantage (aka "Wide Moat").
Buffett's knack for spotting undervalued companies with strong fundamentals serves as the foundation for this algorithm, designed to help you identify hidden gems in the stock market even if he's not a venture capitalist himself.
ChatGPT's AI-Driven Perspective
We asked ChatGPT the optimal weightings a venture investor should use given our 12 factors, and created a preset based on its response.
These preset algorithms are just a starting point - you can enhance them further or build your own!
