"When we held this event last year, it was a pivotal moment for the crowdfunding industry," said Alon Goren, Co-founder of Crowd Invest Summit. "Never before had so many investors and crowdfunding investment opportunities been in the same room together. I literally saw multiple investors make investments using their phones from the expo floor. This year, we expect that kind of engagement to grow exponentially via the live-stream of our event."
Last December, Robert Herjavec, investor from ABC's hit TV show Shark Tank and bestselling author James Altucher gave keynote speeches at the Summit. This year the summit will continue to bring top-notch investor speakers to the stage.
"For the first time ever, the mainstream public is allowed to invest in these types of early stage deals," said Josef Holm, Co-founder of Crowd Invest Summit. "Crowd Invest Summit is the only crowdfunding event that attracts the mainstream audience and puts them in front of world-class investors so that they can learn directly from the source."
Equity Crowdfunding For All: Brief Background on Key Rulings
In an unprecedented development in March of 2015, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) ruled on Title IV of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (also known as the JOBS Act), paving the way for private companies to raise up to $50M from both accredited and unaccredited investors. This ruling is known as "Reg A+" and is expected by many to be pivotal in the future of popular investments in America.
Effective in May of 2016, regulation Crowdfunding under Title III of the JOBS Act allows private companies to raise up to $1 million annually from both accredited and unaccredited investors.
Given the groundswell of interest in both Reg A+ and Title III opportunities, the Crowd Invest Summit agenda will explore both categories.
