Crowdfunding Demo Day and Celebration on the Hill, May 16

By SBE Council at 11 May, 2016, 1:40 pm

Demo Day on Capitol Hill

On May 16, 2016 Title III of the JOBS Act goes into effect. This means everyone – not just accredited investors – can invest in small businesses and entrepreneurial ideas on regulated platforms. To celebrate this day, and show our appreciation for key leaders and Members of Congress who have made the democratization of capital a reality, SBE Council is hosting an event on Capitol Hill with CFIRA and Crowdfund Capital Advisors.

30 companies have been selected to “demo” their technologies and services that will support a transparent and healthy crowdfunding market for investors.
