This week, Kore (previously KoreConX) announced one of the most unexpected and intriguing ventures we’ve seen in the capital markets world: a reality TV series where live viewers can invest in the companies they’re watching — as the pitch happens.

The show is called STAMPEDE, and it might just change everything.

Think Shark Tank, but with one massive twist — the audience isn’t just watching. They’re investing. In real time.

Entertainment meets capital formation

STAMPEDE isn’t theoretical. Season One is already in motion with 30 companies lined up. It’s being distributed via major OTT and F.A.S.T. platforms (Roku, Pluto, Tubi, etc.), with a potential reach of over 1.8 billion Smart TVs. The infrastructure powering it all? Kore — the same RegA+ platform used by Grant Cardone for his real estate fundraising empire.

Kore will handle every step of the compliance journey: onboarding, transactions, and post-show reporting. And to add more credibility, David Weild IV (yes, that David Weild — former Vice Chair of NASDAQ and widely known as the “Father of the JOBS Act”) is backing the show through his investment bank, Weild & Co.

For the first time, we’re seeing investment banking plugged directly into live entertainment — with the regulatory backbone to make it all compliant.

Why WAV Group is watching this closely

We’re not covering this because we suddenly became entertainment reporters. We’re covering this because if this works, real estate is almost certainly next.

Crowdfunding already taught us that people will rally behind causes and investments they can relate to — homes, renovations, flipping projects, and neighborhood development have always had strong emotional resonance. We’ve seen what’s possible with platforms like Fundrise and CrowdStreet.

But putting that in front of a live audience? With interactive tools, emotional storytelling, and the instant ability to invest in the next hot listing, development project, or income property?

That’s the kind of storytelling + tech convergence that could open up real estate investing to millions of new participants.

The bigger shift

At WAV Group, we’ve been vocal about the democratization of capital and the growing appetite for direct investment tools. But what we’re seeing here is a cultural shift. A fusion of compliance, capital, and entertainment that could reshape how people discover, evaluate, and act on investment opportunities.

If STAMPEDE finds even modest traction, we expect a wave of real estate content to follow:

  • Reality series for flipping or fractional ownership
  • Developer-backed shows selling units in real time
  • Brokerages showcasing presale listings with instant reservations
  • Fund managers offering LP stakes to live audiences

And if Kore’s infrastructure proves scalable, they’ll be at the center of it — again.

This is worth watching — not just for what it is, but for what it unlocks.
