What Are People Saying?

“I am a big fan of The Next Unicorn. Here’s why.  I’ve spent the better part of my career on Wall Street, taking companies public and most of the rest of my career investing in and operating companies.  Wall Street is the last sector not yet upended by the transformative influence of the Internet.  Look at how booking.com, hotels.com, alltherooms.com and others have improved the consumer experience in the travel industry.  Or how Google, Facebook and others have changed media forever.  Let’s not forget Amazon and the retail industry!  But Wall Street?  It’s still the same old exclusive clubs of VC’s, Private Equity and institutions it has been for a century. That’s why The Next Unicorn is so exciting.  It can upend the exclusive Wall Street club and “democratize” corporate funding—providing small companies easier access to capital while providing every-day investors access to the next big thing (hence The Next Unicorn).  And the Next Unicorn does this in a very entertaining way—sort of “Shark Tank” meets “Main Street” meets “Silicon Valley”.  This hasn’t been done before.  And the time for this is now.”

“The Next Unicorn is one of those concepts that when you tell it to people, everyone immediately says "slam dunk." A show where the average person watching from home can actually invest in the businesses they see featured on it is such a revolutionary idea that even if you're not in the TV business you can recognize why it's so great. By allowing anyone to have a chance to invest in the next successful business, The Next Unicorn is building a community and fanbase that is invested in businesses even before they are household names. That has the potential to create huge value for everyone--from the networks, to the brands that appear on the show, to the audience watching.”

“Navigating the waters as a pre-revenue, startup can be overwhelming, troubling, exciting and exhausting.  Everything comes into clarity when you deal with the right team.  I was quite fortunate to have had the opportunity to meet The Next Unicorn Team.  Their passion, shared vision, excitement and resources have combined to make a big difference for me and my team.  I can not possibly overstate the "real" caring, integrity and passion that they bring to the cause.  I am excited to see what the next chapter brings for The Next Unicorn.  When human interest, the entrepreneurial spirit and passionate resourcefulness meet, there's bound to be an exceptional outcome.  Seize the day my friends.”

"I believe that The Next Unicorn has the ability to disrupt the traditional venture capital model. Combining crowdfunding with a series platform similar to Shark Tank, The Next Unicorn is poised to become a real game changer in how startups raise capital. They've put together a group of incredibly talented executives to execute their creative model.”

“No more will retail investors have to stay on the sidelines, while all of the wealthy investors are able to reap the rewards of being able to invest in the next billion dollar start-up! The Next Unicorn allows for everyone to start investing in the companies that they think will change the future. Better yet, this gives the companies that are raising money unparalleled access to a customer base that now has incredible incentive alignment with their mission. It truly is a win-win for both retail investors and startups!!!"
