There are quite a few people here on Bigger Pockets like @Mark Robertson or @Bryan Hancock
who have thoroughly vetted every platform and/or who have put together groups of investors to do what you're looking for, @Bryce Peterson
And, as @Account Closed pointed out, many still use good 'ol Excel. There is a whole thread started by an investor who publicly shares his crowdfunding deals using a Gsheet, here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/520/topics/294382-i-put-2-million-into-20-crowd-fund-deals-posting-performance?page=6#p2753176

Property.com and Crowdnetic's Crowdfinance Index already track all the 506(c) related deals as well as others in the space, like Crowdrabbit and ConnectedInvestors.com.

Post: Shark Tank Clarification About Real Estate Crowdfunding

For those who watch Shark Tank, you may have seen the episode recently where a little known real estate crowdfunding company presented, and did not receive a warm response, to say the least. Since Patch of Land is one of the few companies in the space who are considered leaders, we could not let this disastrous performance ruin the reputation of the legitimate companies who have been working tirelessly to earn the trust and respect of real estate investors.
This is our rebuttal: https://patchofland.com/blog/news-and-press/2015/02/05/real-estate-crowdfunding-how-to-survive-a-shark-tank-attack/

@Richard Allen @Audrey Truesdale until the SEC makes final decisions on Title III and Title IV of the JOBS Act, you will find most crowdfunding companies operating under Title II, Rule 506(b) or Rule 506(c).
While only those who issue under Rule 506(c) are legally allowed to publicly solicit (think full blown advertising, tweeting and the like), there are plenty of people in violation of this rule. It remains somewhat of a grey area whether someone is publicly soliciting their issue when they are doing a public presentation about their company and the 'offerings' they regularly issue, even without blatantly making a sales pitch. That presents a dangerous place, though some people seem to be fine with it. There have been more portals move towards a strict 506(c), like POL and, while more onerous due to the verification of an accredited investor's status (and some clients who do not like this process, which is never a fun conversation to have), it safer because no one can slip through the cracks.
I fully expect there to be a clamp down on advertising and general solicitation, even under the existing rules. It's plain to see that we are dealing in securities, and it's not to be taken lightly, nor in an unregulated fashion.
