Summary
Crowdfunding was created by the 2012 JOBS act through an amendment to the Securities Act that allowed private companies to sell equity in small amounts to non-accredited investors. The intent of the law was to make it easier for startups and small companies to raise modest amounts of capital while allowing many more investors the opportunity to participate in this segment of the capital markets. Dave Cappillo will serve as a panelist providing a brief overview of equity crowdfunding laws and the impact these changes will bring to the private investing landscape.
