Getting investment form an angel or venture capital firm isn’t the only way to raise money for your startup company.
You can now take advantage of Regulation A+, an improved securities regulation that allows startups to raise up to $50 million in capital from accredited and non-accredited investors.
This is a big step forward. Previously, you’d only be able to obtain funding from high net worth individuals, also known as angels or accredited investors.
But how do you actually do a Reg A+ raise? What are the costs involved?
I decided to talk with Nate, the director of Crowdfund.co, who is very familiar with this new financial tool.
He broke down everything you need to know about Regulation A+ and the changing landscape of equity crowdfunding. Hope you enjoy our conversation!
In this podcast episode, you’ll learn:
- How you can use Regulation A+ to raise money for your startup
- Ways to determine if you’re a good candidate for Reg A+
- The difference between equity crowdfunding and VC or angel funding
- Costs that you will incur when doing a equity crowdfunding campaign
