Event Info
Description
NewFinance - Financial Innovation through Technology
This Seminar follows on from our recent UK Crowdfunding Seminar, our objective for this Seminar is to address the US Crowdfunding scene and cross-pollenate ideas and business models from both sides of the pond.
You're probably already aware that Title II of the JOBS Act, designed to open up more investment capabilities and stimulate the new startup economy, is now in effect. You're now allowed to tell people that you're raising money. This will open up the market for Crowdfunding sites to the benefit of Entrepreneurs looking to raise funding. With significant successes already in the Rewards segment, see Kickstarter, it seems likely that Crowdfunding sites, albeit providing a more complex process than rewards, will provide an essential funding option to many new businesses and ventures. This Seminar will explore the themes around this new opportunity.
