Entrepreneurs are about to receive a new and unprecedented funding opportunity—an opportunity that may ultimately determine the success of their business. I’m referring to the method of raising business capital through Crowdfunding. For small investors it could provide a great “level-the-playing-field” opportunity to get in on the ground floor of promising startups. Equity crowdfunding will allow entrepreneurs to sell unregistered shares to all sorts of investors via registered funding portals or broker dealers. Companies will be restricted to selling no more than $1 million of stock per year, but to an unlimited number of generic investors. The JOBS Act opens true equity crowdfunding up to the masses and as such, there is expected to be a massive influx of entrepreneurs rushing to raise equity for their companies.
To help you understand equity Crowd-funding, and to navigate through the volumes of misinformation, we’ve assembled well-respected panelists from companies that are at the forefront of the recently- passed Crowdfunding law (part of the April, 2012 JOBS Act).
Navocate's goal is to provide you information and guidance on how Crowdfunding will open investment opportunities to non-accredited investors—establishing a new avenue for business capital.
Topics include:
- An update on the latest Crowdfunding regulatory issues.
- Eligibility and reporting requirements.
- Advice on how to position your company to receive Crowdfunding capital.
- How to value your company and set an appropriate share price.
Who Should Participate?
- Entrepreneurs working on their start-up business plans.
- Business owners of established companies—pre-revenue or profitable.
The Crowdfunding webcast is a funding preparedness guide for issuers, and is set to take place on June 12th at 1pm EDT.
