Does your startup need help crowdfunding seed investment capital to launch or expand a new business in Austin? The Austin Crowdfunding Incubator (https://www.meetup.com/austin-crowdfunding-incubator/) will teach startups how to raise seed investment capital using Title III, Reg. CF or Title IV, Reg. A+ the new equity crowdfunding rules recently passed by the SEC as a part of the Jump Start Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act signed into law by President Obama.
In addition to the new national equity crowdfunding rules, Texas entrepreneurs can also raise up to $1 million per year utilizing Top Texas Crowdfunding Sites (https://crowdfundingpr.wordpress.com/2014/07/22/top-10-texas-equity-crowdfunding-sites/), which now allow entrepreneurs and startups to selling private equity shares to 20 million non-accredited investors in Texas to raise seed investment funding & venture capital.
The new Texas Intrastrate crowdfunding exemption (https://crowdfundingpr.wordpress.com/2014/10/22/texas-passes-intrastate-crowdfunding-rules-unanimously-4-0-in-austin-becomes-largest-equity-crowdfunding-market-in-america/) now makes it legal to use Texas Crowdfunding Sites (http://crowdfundingpr.wordpress.com/?s=texas+crowdfunding&submit=Search) to market private equity and seed capital investment opportunities to 20 million unaccredited investors to raise private equity, seed investments and venture capital for small businesses, startups and entrepreneurs in Texas.
If you want to learn how to become a micro venture capitalist and begin investing in promising new startups, please join our Texas Crowdfunding Incubator (https://www.meetup.com/austin-crowdfunding-network/). This meetup will connect the 20 million unaccredited investors in Texas with leading Texas Crowdfunding Portals (TCPs) that will allow investors to shop for equity, debt and convertible note investment opportunities.
These crowdfunding portals or sites will allow anyone in Texas with a creative product, service or business idea to build a crowdfunding profile on a crowdfunding investment site and then market their equity investment opportunity to both accredited investors and unaccredited investors in Texas to raise enough money get their businesses off the ground.
And for the first time in 80 years, friends, family members and/or perfect strangers can invest up to $5,000 per startup to purchase private equity shares, debt or convertible notes. If the company becomes successful and goes public, early investors can reap the same type of return-on-investment as early investors and venture capitalists who first supported Apple, Microsoft, Google, Facebook and many others.
Small investments in those companies are now worth billions of dollars. Obviously, there is a lot of risk and many startups fail. Investors need to learn how to shop for good deals and learn smart investment strategies by watching and following seasoned angel and seed capital investment pros.
