It is gratifying to see such strong demand from investors for the equity in one of our valued portfolio holdings,” added Ms. Lenk. “Meanwhile, the is off to a strong start and is almost halfway toward its goal in just a few, short weeks.  We look forward to strong continued performance from KingsCrowd and Deuce Drone and remain optimistic about the future of ValueSetters and its portfolio of investments.”
