Crowdcreate

Crowdcreate is not an investment manager and does not make investment decisions with its own balance sheet. Founder Jeffrey Maganis leads the firm, which operates as a marketing and network utility that introduces clients to its cultivated roster of investors and influencers. Any capital allocation decisions remain entirely with the client companies and the investors in its network.

Crowdcreate sources deal flow by acting as a paid marketing service provider to growth-stage companies. Clients hire the firm for influencer marketing, investor marketing, PR, and paid media, and in the process, these companies become visible to the investor network Crowdcreate has assembled. The firm also surfaces opportunities through its presence at industry conferences, including the Family Office Conference and the Roth Capital Growth Conference.

Crowdcreate’s platform is designed around direct introductions between individual growth companies and investors, rather than fund commitments. The firm markets specific client raises — such as those for Hall Venture Partners and U-tec — and does not promote a fund-of-funds or LP-commitment model.

The figure of over $250 million raised across 600-plus projects is self-reported on Crowdcreate’s website, with a qualifier that the funds were raised by previous clients where Crowdcreate acted as the agency on record and played a pivotal marketing role. No independent audit or third-party verification of that aggregate number is publicly available.
