FINAL COUNTDOWN: Round 9 Closing Arguments
It’s been an eventful few months, but as we count down the final days of Round 9, we thought it was worth providing a recap of everything that's happening with Legion M. If you’ve ever considered investing in Legion M, here’s why now is the time:
TWO BIGGEST MOVIES YET: Legion M is at a point where a single hit film could fundamentally alter the trajectory of the company. And while hits are notoriously hard to come by, we’re taking two of our biggest swings yet with critically acclaimed films produced by Legion M in theaters soon.
The Man In The White Van (Sean Astin, Ali Larter, Madison Wolfe, Brec Bassinger, and Skai Jackson) is 100% on Rotten Tomatoes and slated for a 12/13 nationwide theatrical release with Relativity Media. The trailer was just released on Tuesday -- you can check it out at the bottom of this update.
My Dead Friend Zoe (Sonequa Martin-Green, Natalie Morales, Morgan Freeman, Ed Harris and Utkarsh Ambudkar) is also 100% on Rotten Tomatoes and has won Audience Awards at both SXSW and Mill Valley Film Festivals. It’s slated for a nationwide theatrical release in Feb of 2025 with Briarcliff Entertainment.
MAJOR MILESTONE: We’re officially OVER 50,000 investors, cementing Legion M’s status as one of the largest equity crowdfunding communities in history. The bigger we get the more powerful we become...
RECORD GROWTH: Round 9 is our LARGEST round ever, with almost 20,000 investors and more than $5,500,000 raised in THIS ROUND ALONE!
FIRE IN THE HOLE! We just announced that Fade To Black has entered pre-production, making it our 3rd production to utilize Legion M’s innovative Fan-First-Financing.
INFLECTION POINT: After years of “earning our stripes” working on other people’s projects, Legion M has leveled up to the point where we are financing, producing, and distributing our own films. For more information, please check out this post.
TRACTION FOR “DEFIANT”: We’re making progress on our march to turn the story of Robert Smalls into a feature film, completing the first two comic books (aka the first draft of storyboards) and advancing discussions with directors and talent.
PATH TO PROFITABILITY: We’ve built an engine (film production and distribution) with potential to dramatically increase revenue in the coming years. At the same time, we’ve managed to REDUCE operational expenses over each of the past two fiscal years. Our goal is to reach “core profitability” (i.e. profitability of the core business so that fundraising is no longer needed) within the next two years while continuing to level-up our capabilities and grow our community.
BONUS SHARES: Already an investor in Legion M? If you invest at startengine.com/legionm using the same email as your previous investment, you will automatically qualify for an extra 5% bonus shares courtesy of our “investor loyalty program.” See details below*
INDEPENDENT VALIDATION: Kingscrowd – a leading independent equity crowdfunding analysis site – recently rated Legion M as a 4.2 star deal, placing us in the top 20% of active deals on the platform and top 22% they’ve EVER evaluated.
INDUSTRY CONSENSUS: Legion M has built a world-class advisory board with over 2 dozen industry insiders ranging from celebs like William Shatner and Bill Duke to billion-dollar-producer Dean Devlin, thought leader Eric Ries (author of The Lean Startup) and a cadre of current/former execs from companies that include Netflix, Sony, Lucasfilm, Epic Games, Legendary, MGM, Disney, Paramount, and more.
LAST CALL! Round 9 – our largest round ever – will be closing soon, making this the FINAL CHANCE TO INVEST ON STARTENGINE AND GET THE $1.65 SHARE PRICE (<$60MM valuation) and Round 9 rewards.
Over the past few years Legion M has grown from a “novel idea” into an award-winning studio with a demonstrated ability to finance, produce, and distribute critically acclaimed films. The question is…what comes next.
Our goal is to continue our grow until we’re large enough to IPO, directly list, or otherwise enable you to sell your shares. While there’s still a substantial amount of risk (the reality is, most small businesses fail), we’ve beaten the odds for 8 years (including a global pandemic!) and we don’t plan on stopping any time soon.
The important thing to know is that we’re all in this together. Legion M's founders are working for salaries less than half what their peers make. Our advisors work for free in exchange for options. Their upside is the same as yours – the value of the stock. We have a valuation of less than $60MM in an industry where successful companies are often measured in billions and market leaders in hundreds of billions. If we can make this company is successful, there is a LOT of potential upside.
And since Legion M’s stock doesn’t have any financial preferences, ALL OF US – from William Shatner to the smallest $40 investor – are in the same boat. We win together, or we lose together.
SO LET’S WIN TOGETHER!
Join us today, and lets put a Legion M shaped dent in the universe!

RISK VS. REWARD
Investing in Legion M is speculative, illiquid, and involves a high degree of risk, including the possible loss of your entire investment. You should never invest more than you can afford to lose (not in Legion M or in ANY startup!). That said, with risk comes potential for reward – if you're willing to take a chance at making history, we'd love to have you aboard our moonshot!
