Since early 2013 there has been increasing calls for North American regulators to democratize the way the public can access and purchase private equity deals via the Internet in a manner available in other parts of the world. In December 2013, Saskatchewan became the first Canadian province to adopt equity crowdfunding and this was followed by seven other provinces proposing equity crowdfunding models. These proposals open up new means for entrepreneurs to raise capital from the general public but also introduce new requirements for a). Issuers who wish to raise capital, b). Public investors and c). Portals that post the offerings. This seminar will provide a view of the challenges ahead and what an entrepreneur can do to run a successful campaign.

2. WHAT ARE THE TYPES
OF CROWDFUNDING?
Reward-based crowdfunding is based on ‘donations for
gifts’, where funders give money to activities in return for
rewards
3. WHAT ARE THE TYPES
OF CROWDFUNDING?
Equity-crowdfunding, rather than donate money, funders
invest money in an activity and, in return, receive shares or
equity.
4. WHAT ARE THE TYPES
OF CROWDFUNDING?
Other types include - Donation and debt
5. WHAT DOES
CROWDFUNDING
MEAN FOR THE ARTS?
In five years Kickstarter, a reward-based crowdfunding
platform, has raised over US$1 billion for creative projects
worldwide
6. WHAT DOES
CROWDFUNDING
MEAN FOR THE ARTS?
In 2012 the US National Endowment for the Arts gave out
US$146 million, during the same year, Kickstarter funded
roughly US$323 million of art-related projects.
11. WHAT IS NEXT FOR
CROWDFUNDING AND
THE ARTS?
There are currently over 20 crowdfunding platforms for
the arts and creative industries worldwide
demohour.com (2011) and dreamore.com in China
13. WHAT IS NEXT FOR
CROWDFUNDING AND

backlash against rich artists asking for cash for
commercial projects

21. NEW INVESTMENT
OPPORTUNITIES
Equity crowdfunding has the potential to attract new
investors to the arts and creative industries while
encouraging existing investors to make further investments.
22. DEMOCRATISING
INVESTMENT
Equity crowdfunding democratises investment by reducing
investment overheads and facilitating accessible and
transparent investment. This has the potential to
encourage atypical investors in the arts because people
can invest as little as £/€/¥/$ 1. The potential to eliminate
the ‘old-boy’ network and enable a new class of investor
in the arts.
23. SUITABLE FOR BIG
BUDGET PRODUCTIONS
Equity Crowdfunding is currently more suitable for big
budget productions and projects than reward-based
crowdfunding which is more suited to smaller campaigns.

24. EQUITY PLUS REWARDS
FOR THE ARTS
A hybrid crowdfunding model of equity plus rewards, or
return on investment (ROI) plus ‘soft’ benefits, mitigates
the fact that there may not be an immediate exit strategy or
financial return. This model provides investors with the
perks more typically associated with arts investment.
25. AN OPPORTUNITY FOR
INFORMING
COMMISSIONING AND
MATCHED FUNDING?
Crowdfunding provides arts funders with an opportunity to
evaluate projects that have acquired both an audience and
some funding through crowdfunding. This could be a new
way to inform commissioning strategies and to raise
additional money.
26. A NEW MODEL AT A
NASCENT STAGE OF
DEVELOPMENT
Given that regulated crowdfunding platforms (in the UK) are
still less then two years old and that these platforms are
currently primarily used to enable small numbers of
investors to invest large amounts of money in new
business, the market is open to develop in a myriad of
ways.
28. ENSURING INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY PROTECTION
Protecting the intellectual property (IP) of projects exposed
on an equity crowdfunding platform requires each project
to indemnify and ensure their own copyright protection
before exposure.
29. MAINTAINING CONTROL
Businesses are typically governed to maximise profit for
shareholders. Arts projects require the preservation of
artistic control and creative leadership. Equity
crowdfunding in the arts highlight the tension between
these two positions.
30. UNSUITABLE FOR THE
AMATEUR
ENTREPRENEUR
Unlike reward-based crowdfunding, equity crowdfunding
platforms require experienced arts entrepreneurs,
producers and practitioners. Soliciting investment in
commercial arts projects is always high risk and
complex.
31. COSTS OF COMPLIANCE
AND DANGER OF
LITIGATION FROM
SMALLER INVESTORS
Costs of compliance could be disproportionately high and
there will be a higher risk of litigation from smaller
investors who do not understand the risks of investing
in private companies. Further work is required into the legal
and accounting specifics of equity crowdfunding for the
arts.

40. UK AS AN EQUITY
CROWDFUNDING LEADER
The UK has stolen a march on the rest of the world by
creating a legitimate environment where equity
crowdfunding investors are protected by the Financial
Conduct Authority (FCA). This has created a unique
opportunity to position the UK as an international hub for
equity crowdfunding.
SEEDRS.COM (2012) and CROWDCUBE.COM (2013)
41. EQUITY CROWDFUNDING
IN THE EU
In the EU, equity crowdfunding platforms must comply with
EU regulations; each individual country’s regulations; and
each individual country’s interpretations of EU regulations.
This complicates and obstructs equity crowdfunding
regulation in the EU.
42. EQUITY CROWDFUNDING
IN THE EU
New report from the European Commission ‘Unleashing the
potential of Crowdfunding in the European Union’ March
2014, promotes liberalising regulation.
COMPANISTO.DE AND FUNDEDBYME.COM
43. EQUITY CROWDFUNDING
IN THE US
Following the JOBS act 2012, equity crowdfunding is a
legal means of raising capital in the US. However the SEC
is reviewing regulation to enable companies raise capital
from 'non-accredited' investors. There are currently a
number of state level exceptions. Companies can advertise
online that they are seeking investments (see Slated.com).
44. EQUITY
CROWDFUNDING IN
CHINA
A regulatory vacuum has blurred legal boundaries for
Internet financing in China. The CBRC is leading research
on how to regulate peer-to-peer lending and it is unclear if
equity crowdfunding is considered ‘illegal fundraising’ and
an illegal means of raising capital. Chinese law does not
allow unregistered companies or individuals to sell stakes
to the public.
