Hey, I'm Sean a Compton Game. This is Millennium Money and today we're talking investing in

startups just like the big sharks do on Shark Tank. I have Travis and Ryan from New Chip and it is an

awesome new company where you can now invest in startups for as low as $100 a month. And they have a really cool concept. It's a new company.

They're just launching. And I thought it was awesome to give you this story because a lot of people,

you know, are super into Shark Tank and a lot of these different investing shows and want to know,

hey, if I find a cool idea, how can I actually invest in that startup and new chip has the answer. Millennial Money with Shawna Compton Game.

It will expand your brain.

All right.

Well, I'm so excited to have Ryan and Chavez from New Chip join me on the podcast. Thank you guys so much for being with me today.

Thank you very much for having us. Great to be here.

So tell me, Ryan, a little bit about New Chip and kind of how you came up with the concept for the company.

Sure. So it goes a long time back, and I'll make it pretty quick. But really, I've been in

crowdfunding for years, and I've been putting money to Kickstarter or any go-go all over the place.

And I've been burned several times. But I've always had high ideals and ambitions for the future

of it. People being able to invest in things they believe in. So it's a core component of being an American. We want to help other people that are

entrepreneurs. We want to be entrepreneurs ourselves. And so when I heard these new laws and

regulations were changing in 2016 that allowed non-accredited investors, basically the 99% of

the population, to actually start investing in the same deals as

all the big sharks are. So instead of just watching Shark Tank, you actually get to be in Shark Tank

and you get to actually invest your little bit of capital along with some of these big investors.

I found to be really, really exciting. And so I decided to build a platform. I started contacting

all the platforms in the space. I was about two years behind a lot of them. And I realized, okay, this is not going to work. And I realized that there's a lot of platforms. I said, how can we deal with this issue? Because investors are not going to run a register for 50, 100, or 2,000 platforms just because of the email overload.
