We're building a transparency-first investing ecosystem — focused on alignment, education, ownership intelligence, and long-term value creation. Not another platform. The ecosystem we wish existed.
After 20+ years in finance and a front-row seat to the crowdfunding era, the same pattern keeps repeating. Retail investors enter last, know the least, and bear the most risk. That's not bad luck — it's how the system was designed.
Institutions and insiders get positioned first — at better prices, on better terms, with information retail investors never see. By the time a deal reaches the crowd, the best economics are already gone.
Most investors never see the cap table. They don't know who controls the company, who gets paid first in a liquidation, or what the lockup structure looks like. That's not an accident.
When the people recommending deals profit whether you do or not, you have a structural problem. Advisor stock, preferred structures, paid newsletter "gurus" — alignment isn't a nice-to-have. It's the whole game.
How many deals pitched to retail investors actually returned capital? Nobody tracks it. Nobody publishes it. We will. Accountability requires a scoreboard — and we're building one.
I've been in finance since 2001. I've seen how deals get structured, who gets positioned first, and what retail investors are told — versus what they're not told.
When Reg CF and Reg A+ opened crowdfunding to everyday investors, I was genuinely excited. Finally, a path to give retail investors real access to early-stage company building — the kind of access that used to be reserved for the wealthy and well-connected.
Then I watched what actually happened. The same problems followed. Misaligned incentives. Hidden economics. Platforms optimizing for deal flow, not investor outcomes. Financial "gurus" getting paid to promote the very stocks they're recommending. Retail investors still last in line — just with a new wrapper around it.
BTHI is my attempt to build something different. Not another platform that talks about transparency while doing the opposite. An actual system built around it — with real community, real accountability, and real alignment.
I'm not promising to fix finance. But I'm committed to building something more honest, and building it with the people who believe the same thing I do.
BTHI is a holding company built around three interconnected businesses. Each one strengthens the others. Together, they form a transparency infrastructure retail investors have never had access to before.
Financial content that tells the full story — including the parts most platforms would rather leave out. Deal breakdowns, founder interviews, cap table education, and ongoing outcome reporting. Built around CrowdfundingSucks.com and expanding.
The platform. The community. The transparency layer. Where investors understand deal structure, analyze cap tables, rate alignment, and hold issuers accountable — together.
Advisory and investor relations infrastructure for issuers who want to build with a community that values transparency. Deal sourcing, Reg CF / Reg A+ experience, and strategic investor relations for aligned companies.
Ctable is being built to give investors what they've never had before — real visibility into the ownership structure, economics, and alignment of the deals they're being asked to participate in.
Visualize ownership structure, dilution scenarios, and insider positions in plain English.
Community-driven ratings on deal alignment, reporting quality, lockup structure, and incentives.
AI-assisted plus human intelligence. Collective research that makes every member smarter.
We publicly track how deals perform. Win or lose — the scoreboard gets published. Always.
90%+ of retail investors have never seen a cap table. That's not their fault — nobody taught them, because nobody benefited from them knowing. We think that needs to change.
Every fundraise has economics investors don't see. Who got warrants? Who negotiated a better valuation last month? What does the cap table look like the moment this round closes?
Founders talk about vision. But who controls the votes? Who has liquidation preference? Who gets paid before you do if the company sells for less than expected? The cap table answers all of it.
Lockup periods expire. Insiders can sell. The consultant who got 5% for "strategic advice" can dump shares the day the lock expires. Are you positioned to understand this before it happens to you?
Financial publishers, newsletter writers, and social media personalities are often compensated to promote securities. It's legal — if disclosed. But most investors never find the disclosure. We think that should change.
If a company raises future rounds — which most do — existing shareholders get diluted. How much? At what terms? Who has anti-dilution protection? Retail investors rarely ask. The cap table tells you everything.
SAFEs. Convertible notes. Revenue share. Preferred equity. Reg CF. Reg A+. Every structure has different implications for retail investors. Ctable is being built so investors understand — before they sign.
We are intentionally preventing concentration at the founder stage. An equalized structure that puts community-first ownership into practice from day one — and a community that genuinely helps shape what gets built.
Real gatherings. Real conversations. The kind of access and relationships most retail investors never get the chance to have.
Founders presenting directly to the community. Real Q&A. No PR polish. Honest answers to hard questions.
Collective intelligence in action. Members share research, flag red flags, ask hard questions, and build knowledge together.
Cap tables. Deal structures. Reg CF. Reg A+. Preferred equity. Explained in plain English — no gatekeeping, no upsells.
Building relationships beyond the screen. A community people genuinely want to be part of — not just another Discord server.
Founding members help define Ctable. Your feedback, your priorities, your platform. Built with the community — not at them.
Through our work with Vertical Data (VDTA), we helped structure a deal where all participants — consultants, advisors, and insiders — were locked up alongside retail investors. No cheap exits. Everyone aligned to the long-term outcome.
We're building this in stages — intentionally, and with the community. Here's where we are, and where we're going.
Community-first, equalized ownership structure (see details above). Building the foundation and shaping the platform together with the first members from day one.
Raise up to $4M from a broader base of aligned investors. Build out the Ctable platform, expand the media operation, grow the team, and scale the community nationally.
Open the ecosystem to a much broader investor base. Expand Ctable's reach, deepen the transparency infrastructure, and establish BTHI as the standard for retail-first investing ecosystems.
We believe there is a legitimate path to building a $100M+ ecosystem if executed correctly. Not a guaranteed outcome — but a real, achievable vision for what investor communities can become when they're built around alignment, not just access.
We're trying to build the investing ecosystem we wish existed — and we're building it with the founding community. This is your chance to be in the room where it starts.
Tell us a bit about yourself. We'll be in touch directly — no automated funnels, no spam.
No spam. No hard sell. This is the beginning of something built with the community — not at them. This is not an offer to sell securities.
