If you are an equity crowdfunding investor, it's impossible to find an aggregated database of opportunities.

So, over the weekend, I hacked together a Jupyter notebook that scrapes the SEC EDGAR database for Regulation CF forms, available here: https://gist.github.com/asadoughi/35adc4237e5ba69162fadf8df4...

If you are interested in the links for each of the campaigns, I put those together as well as the minimum investment required manually in a spreadsheet and available if you sign up for the product here: http://cfsheet.launchrock.com/

Thanks for any feedback!

Does anyone know where I can find an aggregate of non-accredited investor investment options, such as SeedInvest, Republic, Wefunder, etc., ideally in a spreadsheet/database format? Thanks!

Does the 'inverse' of Product Hunt exist, where posts are business problems solvable by software and upvotes are money users are willing pay for a solution? A rough equivalent could be a one-to-one relationship (1 biz to one dev) as established by a freelancing marketplace (e.g. odesk, elance, etc.), but I'm thinking along the lines of a many-to-one (many businesses to one dev).

Let's say you get into YC. You are a new startup with $120K investment, 2 cofounders, each paying themselves a $2K after-tax monthly salary with biz expenses around $1K/month.

What do the taxes look like? How does the investment get taxed before its used? What factors would you use to calculate the startup's runway? How much runway does the startup have?

Has your startup hired a "big data"/data scientist/machine learning consultant before? If so, what was your experience? Why did you hire them? Where did you first meet them? How much did it cost? Would you hire them again?
