did my investment go through? just went through all the steps but no confirmation email

Hi Barbara - if you still have questions on this I'd recommend reaching out to support@wefunder.com

Who are your main competitors and what advantage/ip do you have over them? That part wasn't very clear to me in the pitch.

Hi Gordon - let's talk competition. Our main competition that clients are familiar with are traditional commercial mortgage brokers who own most of the market share today. Our key differentiation vs traditional brokers is transparency and efficiency. There are some other startups in the space as well, which I can group into two categories: 1. Lender matching portals - these are direct competitors, where the key to success is solving conversion and then scaling customer acquisition. Many of th...

Assuming your lead investor Mr. Chmiel invested $1M in this round, that leaves only $70k for the rest of us retail investors. Perhaps you would consider moving his investment to a parallel Reg. D offering, thereby freeing up more $space for the CF investors.

Hi Barnaby - good question! As of March 15, the Regulation CF fundraising limit is increasing to $5 Million. So there's plenty of room (for now)!

Hi. Given the tooth to tail ratio here (i.e. the number of capital advisors and underwriters necessary to support growth), how does this business scale? Is our best case here a tech-enabled investment bank? Or does this level of more traditional staffing create a competitive m...

Howard - astute question, important to get this right as a business. On the one hand, commercial financing transactions are more complex than residential, where rates and loan options are almost entirely derived from credit score and income. On the other hand, cash flowing multifamily and commercial properties with stable income history are getting closer and closer to a true programmatic underwriting. While even the most "simple" commercial financing clients will always want access to an exp...

Hello. What are your revenue goals for the next 5 years?

Hi Leonardo - we appreciate you researching this investment in StackSource. Startup revenue projections are notoriously tricky because it's fast, furious, and constantly changing. In the past I've held Sales Operations roles projecting revenue for growing divisions at Google and Facebook, and even at that scale it's far from an exact science. But here's where we'd like to be: - Reach $10 Million+ in revenue within the next 2 years. - Reach $100 Million+ in revenue within a 5-7 year window. Th...

Strengths

says, "Compelling progress towards making commercial real estate financing much easier!"

Advice

says, "I'd stress more how much variance there is in (availability of and terms for) commercial financing vs. residential. Also, sell your bolder vision more: exciting that you'll eventually do servicing and have thought carefully about when/if it makes sense to hold any debt yourselves."

What Investors Say

LEAD INVESTOR

Invested $1,000,000 this round

As the earliest investor in what has become one of the nation’s largest privately held commercial brokerages, I am always looking for transformative opportunities. StackSource has the potential to transform commercial lending the same way Rocket Mortgage redefined the residential mortgage landscape. The speed & reach of a tech platform vs. the traditional way of picking up the phone to call every lender is a massive win for the borrower. The interface is logical and user friendly. The entire StackSource value proposition streamlines an antiquated process that’s been in dire need of an overhaul. We see tremendous upside in this investment and feel confident that StackSource will be a market leader in the space for years to come.
