The Beacon — one email a week on the American companies raising capital

Discover the founders, brands, and companies opening their doors to everyday investors.

What lands in your inbox

Four things we look for, every week, in the American companies opening their books to ordinary people.

The part of the story that usually gets left out. Founders who were turned down, ran out of road, and built the thing anyway.

The ones who broke through. Companies past $5 million in revenue that started exactly where the rest of this list is standing now.

Designed and built here. The companies still choosing American factories, American materials, and American hands to make what they sell.

They served, and then they started something. Veterans building their second act, and hiring the people who had their back in the first.

INCLUDED WITH EVERY SUBSCRIPTION

See live rounds the day they open. Real companies, real offerings, updated in real time, while there's still room in the round.
Skip the noise. Every company we surface is American-owned and American-built, curated with live campaign data and ratings.
Go from shopper to shareholder. Many of these offerings start at a few hundred dollars, which means the brand in your cabinet can become the brand on your cap table.
