MintzTech Connect Industry News - September 2016

Dear Readers, 

The world of raising capital for emerging companies has experienced a revolution. Prior to the enactment of the JOBS Act in 2012, raising capital for private companies was limited to offline communications and was dominated by professional venture capitalists; now the capital raising process has been democratized. Capital can be raised online directly by companies or through intermediaries. It can be accomplished by crowd sourcing to “accredited investors” or, in limited amounts, by crowdfunding to everyone. Additionally, companies can raise capital in an “IPO lite” manner by using the new Reg A+.

With all of these changes, we thought it would be useful to create a chart outlining the different ways to raise capital and the applicable regulations so entrepreneurs can make more informed decisions about the capital raising process. Our chart below can be opened in pdf format and printed out for easy offline use.

As always, we welcome your questions and inquiries, and be sure to visit our website for emerging companies @ www.mintzedge.com. Sign up here to receive email alerts when new articles are posted to MintzEdge.com.
