Investment Portals

After getting burned for at least the 3rd time on business deals with friends, I've been looking into how to invest intelligently outside of the saturated stock market. Here's a quick summary of sites I've found for investing in debt or equity or some other type of financial instrument related to startups.

Investment Portals

Prosper.com - peer to peer lending. It lets you invest unsecured loans I believe with 3 and 5 year terms. Prosper clearly labels the risk level for each loan and the purpose of the loan. needs docs to prove bank account. Its to offer debt with no collateral. I’m just getting an account established here.

YieldStreet.com - only accredited investors.

RealtyShares.com - only accredited investors.

Fundrise.com - This is a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) that you can join online. I have $1000 invested and so far it’s exceeding 8% annual return. I forget what the terms are for when you need to withdraw capital.

Groundfloor.us/ - still not active. It’s just sign up for invite in only 8 states. This is to invest in mortgages.

WeFunder.com - helps you invest in startups usually ones that already have some sales. You can get started with $100 into Convertible Notes or SAFE agreements. I still need to learn more how these types of financial instruments get paid back.

Every portal above is about making a financial return on investment, that’s why Kiva and Kickstarter are not listed. They mostly focus on helping an entrepreneur without a financial return.

Brazil is Cool and I want in on the Action

Many have asked and many times I have explained Why Brazil? I am going to Brazil because something is going on down there, and I want in on it. Spiritually there is a huge revival going on down there. Small groups explode into megachurches. People receive prophecy and obey to go on and do great things for God. And more missionaries hail from Brazil than any other country in the world. Here's a few stories that inspired me: One prayer team from Brazil instigated a revival in Goa, India. Stephen Baldwin becomes a Christian because a Brazilian nanny obeyed prophecy. A Brazilian Missionary defies 'The Prince of Peru' to instigate revival in Peru. I believe that when I get down there I'll find mentors to take me into more powerful prayer, into more effective evangelism, and more mission-oriented churches. Essentially my hope for Brazil is that I can find a community who will help me take my faith from applying the wisdom of the Bible to something more personal ......
