US$500 and a Click: Investing the “Crowdfunding” Way |
June 19, 2012
Previously published on June 12, 2012
The recently enacted Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act was intended to make raising equity capital easier, particularly for smaller startup companies. A key provision of the JOBS Act relates to “crowdfunding,” which amends the securities laws to add a new registration exemption intended to permit companies to raise small amounts of capital from a large number of investors through the internet and social media. Crowdfunding should enable small startup businesses that may not have easy access to traditional fundraising methods (e.g., senior lending, mezzanine lending, venture capital and other capital sources) to raise capital to further their businesses.
