Why’s regulation crowdfunding ideal for some companies?
Ever wish you could have been an early investor in successful companies like Misterb&b, Meow Wolf or Zenefits? Or maybe you see potential in a startup and wish you could help, but you’re not a venture capitalist or ‘qualified investor.’ If so, you’re a good candidate for crowd-sourced investing or regulation crowdfunding.
Read Ezell serves as Southeast Growth Lead for Wefunder, a regulation crowdfunding platform that helps entrepreneurs fund their ideas and allows anyone to be an angel investor.
