Investment opportunities posted on this website are “private placements” of securities that are not publicly traded, are subject to holding period requirements, and are intended for investors who do not need a liquid investment. Private placement investments are NOT bank deposits (and thus NOT insured by the FDIC or by any other federal governmental agency), are NOT guaranteed by Standing Room Capital or WealthForge, and MAY lose value.

THE INVESTING PROCESS
FEES AND CHARGES
SEE SHOWS
SEE SHOWS
Our investors are only presented with opportunities to partner with shows that are in late stages of development, typically those set to debut within the next 6 to 12 months. We look to partner with producers with a proven track record of profitable and award-winning shows, and only seek out shows that already have financial commitments.
You'll own a real investment stake in the theatrical production of your choice, exposing yourself to the potential loss or profit of that show. If a production provides a return on the invested capital, a Standing Room fund may make distributions, according to the offering's terms.
It’s no secret that investing in Broadway is risky, as about 20% to 25% of shows break even on their original investment. However, theatrical investments offer an exciting and diverse opportunity to invest outside of the trends and movement of the stock market.
Don’t just invest, be a part of the VIP Broadway experience. At certain investment levels you will have access to exclusive perks, including: Opening Night tickets and party passes; networking opportunities with actors, producers and directors; access to reduced priced house seats even when a show is sold out; and autographed memorabilia.

needed
Movie Foodie: sketching, gamification, Design Studio
Gamifying attempts
included a dial, bubbles, drag
and drop. These went against
“quick and easy.“
Decided on “shake” feature, and big pictures of meals and
identifiable stars.
