Crush Capital, a startup founded by Darren Marble and Todd Goldberg, said on Wednesday that it has raised $3.25M in a seed funding round, which will go towards its own, online streaming series called Going Public . The company said the seed funding round came from over 30 investors, including Arlan Hamilton, managing partner of diversity-focused VC fund Backstage Capital, Chris Burch, co-founder of iconic fashion brand Tory Burch, and Walter Cruttenden, the co-founder and chairman of micro-investing app Acorns. Crush Cpaital said the funding goes towards development of the show, which is a 10-episode series that will follow five diverse entrepreneurs striving to list their companies on the Nasdaq. Crush Capital says its goal is to give retail investors access to Regulation A+ IPOs and other financial products.
