Top Information Technology Startups in 2024

GROUNDFLOOR was born out of the belief that there is a fundamentally better way to capitalize America. We believe a critical mass of individuals can keep an important part of our economy moving. Concentrating capital allocation among the few unnecessarily constricts liquidity in times of financial stress. When lending is financed through millions of individual decisions, we are free. GROUNDFLOOR is the first and only company qualified by the SEC under Regulation A that offers debt-secured residential real estate investment opportunities to accredited and non-accredited investors alike. Our unique positioning within the wealthtech industry stems from our innovative use of existing securities law to structure a private debt market -- real estate loans -- as simple investment securities that everyone can access simply and directly, regardless of their wealth or financial status. GROUNDFLOOR is strategically positioned to deliver unique value, especially in these uncertain times. We were built for this. Since our inception seven years ago, investors have enjoyed average annualized returns of over 10% each year (10.60% in 2019). This past year, registered users on our platform exceeded 75,000 and annual investment volume topped $100M (a 110% YoY increase from 2018), signaling the public’s overwhelmingly positive response to our industry-disrupting model. We have also originated 1,542 loans in 31 states, including 640 in 2019 alone.

Ten years ago, sports fans got sports news and information exclusively from the media or television. In 2014, fans get sports news and information directly from the teams and players. As a result, sports franchises are now becoming media companies themselves, hiring reporters, television producers, and digital directors responsible for generating a material new revenue source for team. As social content has become more image and video based, social media sponsorship activations have become more creative. It is not longer relevant to analyze only text in social media. Blinkfire Analytics uses computer vision to analyze multimedia resources and generate reports for Teams, Players, Agents and Brands so they can better engage their fans and sponsors. Brands can now manage their brand lift on the "visual web", first in the sports channel, and later, beyond.
