About CrowdDiligence
CrowdDiligence is an independent, collaborative due-diligence platform for retail investors in equity crowdfunding. It is operated from Denmark and covers offerings under the EU Crowdfunding Regulation (ECSPR) and US SEC Regulation Crowdfunding. This page describes who runs the platform, the analytical methodology and the boundaries of what we publish.
Who runs CrowdDiligence
CrowdDiligence is operated from Denmark by a small independent team with more than fifteen years of professional experience in equity crowdfunding — including platform operations, campaign advisory, and involvement in European crowdfunding industry organisations. CrowdDiligence itself is independent of any specific issuer, funding portal or crowdfunding platform.
The platform is not a regulated financial intermediary. It does not broker securities, hold client funds, or provide personalised investment advice. It publishes structured analytical content for retail investors to use as one input among many.
Methodology in brief
Every project on CrowdDiligence follows the same structure: a named DD Lead applies a template of weighted topics (Team, Market, Financials, Legal, Product, Operations, Risk, Regulation, Technology) whose weights sum to 100%. Under each topic the DD Lead lists specific findings — the questions a rational retail investor should evaluate. Community members score each finding on a 0-5 scale with a written justification.
Assessments are averaged inside each finding, findings roll into topic scores, and topics roll into a 0-100 overall score with a plain-English rating (Critical, Weak, Mixed, Solid, Strong). Contributors flagged as biased on a specific project keep their voice at reduced weight. AI-Assisted DD drafts are treated as drafts (10% weight) until a human DD Lead verifies them. The full formula is documented in the white paper.
What we do not publish
CrowdDiligence does not publish personalised investment advice, price targets, forecasts of returns, guarantees of outcomes, or paid promotional content about issuers. Published reports are structured analytical content only. Detailed report contents may require paid access; the free public page for any offering states the issuer, market context, workflow status and DD Lead attribution, without revealing the analytical conclusion.
Editorial independence
CrowdDiligence does not accept payment from issuers, funding portals or platforms in exchange for coverage, favourable framing, or influence over findings and scores. Coverage is initiated either by our editorial pipeline or by qualified DD Leads claiming an open offering.
Investment risk warning
Investing in equity crowdfunding is high-risk. You may lose all invested capital. Retail investors should read the issuer’s official disclosures (ECSPR Key Investment Information Sheet, or SEC Form C for US Reg CF), understand the illiquidity and dilution risks, and only invest amounts they can afford to lose. Nothing on CrowdDiligence is a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any security.
