Crowd Valley adds an important partnership to its portfolio, creating a strategic relationship with Zacks CF Research, the crowdfunded securities research and valuation arm of Zacks.com. The two companies look forward to expanded international services in the relationship, which will bring added value to both parties.
“The opportunity to expand into foreign markets just cannot be underestimated. The global market for direct investing is huge and getting bigger all the time. International crowdfunding will become increasingly important in the next few years,” says Howard Orloff, vice-president and director of Zacks CF Research. The company was waiting for the right opportunity to expand overseas and the right platform provider to partner with and Crowd Valley, with customers in six continents, seemed to make their case.
Crowd Valley, on its part, was looking for a company which could provide independent and reliable valuations for its clientele. CEO, Markus Lampinen said, "the growth and globalization of the crowdfunding and private securities market is driving the need for more information so that investors can make informed decisions. We believe Zacks is well positioned to provide much needed information and transparency in this emerging market, in large part because Zacks is an established and respected public and private company research market leader, with an outstanding reputation among US financial industry actors. This is the type of credibility needed in the international securities crowdfunding space."
