"The Crowd" Invests $3 million with a Shark
BOSTON, March 25, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- How can the "Crowd" Invest with a Shark? Beanstox now has over 3,000 investors and $3,000,000 raised in two crowdfunding rounds (includes 1,900+ people and over $2,000,000 in the current round). The first round was sold out and the current round will close in April, or sooner if sold out. In the current round, people can invest $250 or more to become investors in the business alongside Chairman/co-owner, Kevin O'Leary.
