Figures as reported by the issuer in the filing shown on hover. Each year’s pill shows the assurance level of its filed statements — audited, reviewed (CPA review, less than an audit), or unaudited, as the filing’s own report or certification states it. A dashed pill marked * is inferred instead: the SEC minimum for an offering that size, which the issuer may have exceeded. No pill means we couldn’t tell. Headcount is the filing’s point-in-time count, not a year-end average. Manually corrected figures are marked “Corrected”.

Dotted grey bars are our estimate for rounds that didn't state one: the round's share price × the shares outstanding in its filings. Same measure as blue, but rougher. Dashed amber bars are a SAFE or convertible note's valuation cap — the most it converts at, not what the company is worth, so don't compare them with the other bars.

Sold to the crowd

From the company's SEC filings: share counts per class, each class's voting and conversion terms, and the holders of 20% or more that Form C requires (officers and 10%+ holders on Form 1-A). Filings name only large holders, so most owners — including crowd investors — are not listed, and a holder's percentage may be of its own class rather than of the whole company. Prices and crowd share counts are in today's share terms — adjusted for splits and conversions since they were sold. Hover a figure for its filing.

Brig TaylorFounder
Chief Executive Officer

Brig came up with the idea for SlideBelts in 2004 while teaching abroad in Moldova, when he was given the gift of a ratchet belt.The utility of the belt was apparent, and with that inspiration, he designed the first prototype. By 2007, Brig started SlideBelts; the next year he was already selling belts to friends and family. Fast forward 10 years and SlideBelts has blossomed from a husband-wife duo to an energetic team of 26. As CEO, Brig is responsible for the vision, strategy, and direction of the company. In addition, he leads the Senior Executive Team, sets company culture standards, and allocates capital based on the company's priorities. From Irvine, CA.

Personal Theme Music: "Forrest Whitaker" Weapon of Choice: Sarcasm and a samurai sword Can't Get Enough Of: Laughter. Laugh every day and try to find the humor in every situation. Facepalm Moment: When I was little I was chasing a toy car and tried to run under the kitchen table without ducking. I ran into the table at full speed, cutting my head open above my eye so bad that I had to get stitches. I still have the scar to this day. Quote: "Belief in the truth commences with the doubting of all those 'truths' we once believed."

About this data. Figures are compiled from public sources — SEC EDGAR filings (Form C, C-AR, 1-A, 1-K) and funding-platform pages — and may be delayed, incomplete, or restated by the issuer. Financial statements are as reported by the issuer; each year is labeled with its assurance level (audited / reviewed / unaudited). A valuation cap is the conversion ceiling of a SAFE or convertible note, not an agreed company valuation; post-money figures are computed as pre-money plus amount raised and are not a traded price. Crowdonomics is not a broker-dealer, funding portal, or investment adviser; nothing here is investment advice or an offer to sell securities. Verify all figures against the linked EDGAR filings.
