What is Equity Crowdfunding?
Equity Crowdfunding is a tool for investing directly into new, growing companies and start-ups. Until recently the only people who were legally allowed to do this were the wealthy and institutional investors. Prior to 2016 you had to show that you had $1,000,000 in net worth and be qualified as an accredited investor in order to make this type of investment. But now, anyone can participate in this type of investing, with a minimum investment of $99.
Equity Crowdfunding is closely monitored by the SEC in order to protect investors. Any company participating must be fully compliant with the rules and regulations. This includes transparency of financial details and following communication requirements.

I don’t have a lot of money to invest right now, why should I invest money in ECF over other options like the stock market?
Money is tight. Inflation is putting pressure on all of us and all of our resources. Making hard choices to save and invest for tomorrow can seem impossible when it’s difficult to buy what you want today. When you are able to make those tough decisions and set aside money for investments, ECF provides a way to diversify where your money is invested – so it’s not all in the stock market, or in real estate, or in bonds. The idea is for diversification - not all your eggs in one basket. Becoming an owner of a product that you consume has the added bonus that your purchasing decision is contributing to growth in the company’s value.
How is it different than other types of crowdfunding like Kickstarter?
With crowdfunding websites like Kickstarter, you are able to help new companies raise funds. In exchange, you’re typically offered early access to their product or service or a commemorating T-shirt or branded item.
With Equity Crowdfunding, you are buying a piece of the company. If the company’s value increases, the value of your shares increase. Similarly if the company’s value decreases, your shares decrease in value. With ECF, you become a part of the journey. You’ll get regular updates to milestones and actions the company make, annual reports, and notifications about how and
when you can sell or trade your shares.
