HB & Newport Beach Crowdfunding Meetup: A Network Ecosystem

The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act or JOBS Act, is a law intended to encourage funding (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funding) of United States small businesses (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_businesses) by easing various securities regulations (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Securities_regulation_in_the_United_States). It passed with bipartisan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipartisan) support, and was signed into law by President Barack Obama (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama) on April 5, 2012.

Crowdfunding and its many investment possibilities have been put into the spotlight. Simply banks are not going to take the chance and lend to entrepreneurs and start ups, thus we have to use the Crowd building techniques and power of Internet to leverage and fund our ideas and innovation.
