We are Lux Modus. A remote sensing technology company focused on democratizing the collection of 3D data for the world. ​ By lowering equipment costs and eliminating the need for advanced software and specialized training, we are bringing accurate, high resolution 3D scanning technology to the masses. We believe that through our effort to democratize 3D mapping we have created the fastest, easiest to use and most affordable mapping system. It provides flexibility to our customers, in how data is collected, how it is paid for, and how it is delivered, all while reducing the cost of ownership, freeing customers from expensive software and training, and allowing customers to collect data on their terms. Lux Modus offers the best value for your dollar and minute of collection time. Providing you the data you want in near real-time but at a cost you can control is the value Lux provides over our competitors.

We acquire small, typically family-operated, businesses in a variety of industries from founders who are looking to retire or make a career change but want the business they have built to continue thriving. ​We use creative financing solutions, usually with a significant vendor financing component, to ensure continuity of the business, security for existing employees, and a fair return on the founder’s investment. ​Our approach to buying small businesses is collaborative (we partner with the seller), compassionate (we know business transitions are stressful), and creative (we love new ideas). We prefer businesses based in (Western) Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom but we will consider those based elsewhere in Europe and the Americas, provided the geopolitical situation in the area is relatively stable and foreign investors are welcome. While we prefer to acquire a business outright, we are also open to acquiring minority or majority positions with the right partner, especially if the founder or operator wishes to remain involved in the business. Target businesses generate between $300,000 and $2,000,000 in annual revenue, are comfortably profitable and cash flow positive, are owned by someone who will commit to a transitionary period, and will consider a (significant) vendor financing component in a sale.

The JOBS Act (passed in 2012 and enacted in 2016) allows all Americans to invest in startups, which was previously limited to only the wealthy elite. Now, thousands of everyday investors put millions of dollars into startups every year. Despite that, there is still no research and analytics solutions similar to the public market (e.g., Morningstar, Bloomberg, SeekingAlpha, The Motley Fool) to empower individuals to make informed investment decisions. Kingscrowd aims to empower everyone to invest in startups confidently through a suite of products including research, ratings, data analytics, founder interviews, and financial products. Kingscrowd collects hundreds of data points on every startup that raises money online, and our patent-pending algorithm provides a quantitative assessment of the startups investment potential. We believe in the power of data-driven investment decisions.
