Kingscrowd joins forces with Over Ventures to launch Kingscrowd Europe, bringing its private market data and ratings to a new market. Platform planned for Q4.
BINGHAMTON, N.Y., Aug. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Kingscrowd, a leading data and research platform for the online private markets, today announced the formation of Kingscrowd Europe S.r.l., a new Italian company based in Milan.
The company was formed in partnership with Over Ventures, a European crowdfunding advisory firm led by founder Giancarlo Vergine and co-founder Alberto Vergine. Kingscrowd Inc. will hold a majority stake in the new venture.
Kingscrowd Europe is also being registered as an "innovative startup" pursuant to Italian law, D.L. 179/2012, as amended.
The expansion marks Kingscrowd's first move beyond the United States and establishes the foundation for a European data and research platform expected to go live in Q4 2026.
"Kingscrowd was created to bring transparency and better information to a market growing faster than its infrastructure," said Chris Lustrino, founder and CEO of Kingscrowd. "Europe presents a similar opportunity. It's active, but the data remains spread across countries and platforms. By combining our technology with Over Ventures' knowledge of the region, we have the chance to build the data layer this ecosystem is missing."
An estimated €500 million transacted annually across the European Union and United Kingdom. Average raises are approximately €600,000 to €700,000, significantly larger than the average online raise in the United States.
Despite that scale, investors, founders and other market participants still lack a single source for understanding which companies are raising, where capital is flowing and how opportunities compare across the region.
Over Ventures has spent years studying the European crowdfunding ecosystem and developing a proprietary dataset covering companies, platforms and market activity across the region. Its team also brings relationships with founders, investors, platforms and other participants throughout the European market.
"European equity crowdfunding has matured rapidly, but the information needed to understand it remains fragmented," said Giancarlo Vergine, founder and managing partner of Over Ventures. "We have spent years mapping this ecosystem. Kingscrowd brings the technology, ratings experience and infrastructure to create a resource that can serve the entire industry."
The Kingscrowd Europe platform is planned to launch in Q4 2026. Additional details about its initial market coverage and availability will be announced closer to launch.
