Hey Guys, I'm relatively new here, but I've been interested in Seed Invest for some time. They submit a weekly news letter on start-ups to invest in this week and I thought I'd share what I think is the "Best of the Week."
I don't have enough money to start investing in these highly speculative companies yet because I want to get my portfolio to a larger size so a 10k a year investment in a bunch of different companies isn't too big of a deal for me. If anyone else is currently investing in SeedInvest companies please leave a comment or give me your take on what is the best of the week.
The company I was most excited about this week was Kindara.
Overview: Kindara is a fertility app, social network, and thermometer and it has three potential revenue streams. While this is not a product I would personally use I can immediately see how it could help revolutionize how women manage fertility based on providing extensive data and charting that data. With the added in bonus of the thermometer that automatically uploads to the phone the ease in reporting the data is even better. The design looks Apple worthy and it seems like it has the best of both hardware and software while it’s competitors have only one or the other.
Kindara is a bit more mature than the other companies showcased this week on SeedInvest and they are trying to raise a series A with a 8 million dollar capitalization. They have previously raised 2 rounds at about 5 million for a pre-seed round and 1 million for a seed round. Minimum investment is 1000 dollars.
My Take: While I have no need for this service and device I can see how it would be very useful for a couple or a mother trying to start a family or perhaps understand how to ensure that their family is started at the right time.
Kindara operates on freemium model for their app, but the Wink (thermometer) makes them money, and there is a both a subscription offering as well as product partnerships as potential revenue streams for the future.
If they can grow their community and enter into Europe and Asia I think this could be big. Half the world’s population are women. If I had a 1000 dollars to place a risky bet I would place it here.
