Product Hunt Daily - Investing like billionaires

Think of Product Hunt as the non-judgmental Breakfast Club. You like to spend your money on JPEGs? Carry on. Maybe it’s jewelry or maybe it’s art. You do you. In fact, we’re always on the lookout for interesting products that think outside the box and challenge how we perceive wealth.

VALT caught our attention. The asset management app is part of Vincent, a search engine and database that allows you to discover and analyze $6B of alternative investments across 150 investment platforms. VALT came as a response to feedback the makers received about Vincent – “I’m kind of busy with my day job and I’d like to just send you some capital and have you invest it in the best deals for me.”

The platform lets you invest in alternative assets to diversify your portfolio. It gives you access to assets typically reserved for institutions and the ultra-wealthy, like rare art, collector’s items, pre-IPO ventures, and NFTs. VALT has an in-house portfolio team that sources these and provides in-depth analysis. Investors can access private calls with the team, investment memos, weekly performance updates, and news alerts.

It’s not the first rodeo for some of the makers behind VALT. Slava Rubin and Eric Schell co-founded the crowdfunding platform Indiegogo, which has helped companies raise over $1.5B in funding.

If you want to try your hand at investing but need to do some research first, check out Revenue Watcher, a curated database reported directly by the founders of startups and indie projects. Revenue numbers are sourced from platforms like Twitter, Hacker News, YouTube, Starter Story, and Indie Hackers. Bear in mind, this isn't financial advice and you should always seek professional advice before committing to any risky investments.
