Let's stop bullshitting. Private markets have had the country club problem for decades. And while everyone talks about "democratizing" them, most of the conversation is about the plumbing: tech stacks, back-office infrastructure, digital transfer agents. BORING (albeit necessary).
I believe the actual problem is simpler. Access & Transparency.
People don't know what's out there. Every week, hundreds of private deals…real estate syndications, venture funds and private equity vehicles get filed with the SEC. They're public record. Anyone can look. But the data is buried and can take hours to dig through. Also, it sits in a poorly maintained government database. It’s basically the DMV but online. Terrible, right?
So we did the work for you. Open Floor is a weekly breakdown of every private filing that accredited investors can participate in. Every week you can expect to see what was filed, how much was raised, which deals are still open, and who's behind them. No jargon. No gatekeeping. No bullshit. (remember above?)
We're just getting started. Weekly breakdowns are the beginning: monthly, quarterly, and annual deep-dives are coming. Tell us what you want. Follow along. Bring friends. The floor is open. It’s for everyone.
A note on the numbers: Dollar figures in this issue reflect the 723 filings with defined offering amounts. The remaining 313 filings reported "Indefinite" offering caps — they are counted in deal totals but excluded from all dollar figures. Their "Amount Sold" values represent cumulative fund totals, not new weekly capital raised.
