This must be good news for FundersClub and crowdfunding startups like Kickstarter (maybe good for P2P lending companies too).
It may not be good for people who are unknowingly bad at evaluating companies. Seed stage investment is extremely risky for the common investor.
- meric 12y agoA limitation on the amount of securities non-accredited investors can purchase in a Tier 2 offering of no more than 10 percent of the greater of the investor’s annual income or net worth. I think this would contain the risk.
- otoburb 12y agoThis contains the risk somewhat, except I think the limitation for non-accredited investors only applies for each Tier 2 offering, and doesn't act as an aggregate limitation on a per year basis.
- arikrak 12y agoI don't think Kickstarter is planning on offering equity. Other sites will, and they'll serve as a screening service so users know which startups are worthy.
- aikah 12y ago> I don't think Kickstarter is planning on offering equity. Well, if "crowdinvesting" is a success , as I think it will be ,they may pivot It makes more sense to invest in a business than just handing out free money with no oversight , the later is what Kickstarter is. I would even say the former is less risky.
