What:
The JOBS Act and Crowdfunding:What is it and How Can I Use it to Acquire Capital Today?
A simple definition of crowdfunding is fundraising through large amounts of people giving small amounts of money.Crowdfunding as a means of acquiring capital, is a growing trend and is expected to become a $300 billion market. The Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act was signed by President Barack Obama on April 5, 2012.The law modifies certain requirements new public companies must abide by and the length of time companies have to comply.The JOBS Act addresses, among other items, the number of shareholders a company may have, exempts companies from registering public offerings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and relieves "emerging growth companies" from certain regulatory requirements.In this presentation, Graf will explain crowdfunding, the JOBS Act, and how entrepreneurs can position themselves to provide ancillary services in this emerging marketplace.
