Starting this May, startups will have access to a significantly greater number of investors via equity crowdfunding (Regulation CF or Title III of the JOBS Act). Traditionally, startups have been limited to raising capital from institutional and angel investors. Regulation CF now gives startups the ability to source capital from over 230 million Americans (18 years and older). Whether you’re a company coming off a successful rewards crowdfunding campaign, or you’re a product with an established customer base, Regulation CF may be the ideal fundraising pathway. It allows companies to turn customers into shareholder which in turn creates brand evangelists. Review FlashFunders' CEO and Co-Founder, Vincent Bradley's checklist that will help you prepare to launch a successful Reg CF offering May 2016.
