Equity Crowdfunding is basically a stock offering from a company that's not on the stock exchange,
So if we think about equity crowdfunding it's like giving you all the benefits of a publicly
traded company where you can raise a ton of money from a lot of different investors but
you don't have any of the headaches of filing to go public or dealing with the actual SAC
now more than likely you've heard the term crowdfunding before but that's a different kind
of crowdfunding than what equity crowdfunding is so there's really two main types of crowdfunding
the first is what we're all used to and it's actually called rewards-based crowdfunding so
with rewards-based crowdfunding, we're dealing with places like Indiegogo Kickstarter and
thousands of other crowdfunding platforms so here's the difference the difference is with rewards
based crowdfunding you're basically raising money from a crowd and that crowd in return for giving
you money gets some kind of bonus incentive gift or sometimes they're even pre-paying an order of
from whatever it is you're selling, so let's say you have a new widget that's about to hit the market
you roll it out through Kickstarter and you're raising money from the crowd and that crowd can
get some kind of bonus or nice gift you're giving away or they could actually be prepaying the order
for that widget so you take the money you produce the widgets and then you give the widget to the
people that contributed the money and actually basically bought that widget or maybe you're
giving them some kind of other bonus or gift, but this is called rewards-based crafting they're
getting a reward for actually contributing money with equity crowdfunding the reward is ownership
interest in your company it's stock, so if you think about dealing with private investors angel
investors venture capitalists instead of flying to silicon valley and doing one-on-one presentations,
with Equity Crowdfunding, you're able to create a campaign on an equity crowdfunding website and
we'll talk about different companies you can do this with later in this training and then
hundreds sometimes even thousands of investors are actually seeing that campaign contributing
money and in return getting some kind of stock or ownership interest in your business. Now the
nice thing is you determine the terms you're the one that determines how much stock or ownership
interest you actually may want to sell how much you actually want to sell those shares for and
of course the more appealing your offer is the more likely it is that you're going to attract
investors and if it's really appealing that you could track a lot of individual investors to
actually invest into your company but you're the one that determines the term so when you think
about Equity Crowdfunding think about it as a way to raise money from a crowd of private investors
based on your own terms and that's one of the things you want to figure out is how much equity
do you want to give away how much stock do you want to sell what do you want to stop sell that
stock for based on how much your business is valued once you figure those things out then
it's a matter of finding the right platform or the right company to actually list your campaign with
so let's talk about some of the options you have crowdfunder is the most popular of this Equity
Crowdfunding campaigns they charge a fee of like $300 to $500 depending on how much exposure
you want your listing to have and they boast that they have over and thirty thousand potential
investors on their actual platform, now fundable is another one that's similar where you can go to to
actually, raise funds generally now what I mean by raising funds generally is that there's a lot of
different Equity Crowdfunding campaigns that have different purposes for example real estate or raising
money to invest in real estate versus just raising money for a general business but those are two
of the more popular actual platforms if you're just raising money for your company for general
purposes now CrowdStreet and RealCrowd are two platforms specifically for the purpose
of raising money to invest in commercial real estate, so if you're a commercial real estate
developer investor if you want to be then these are two of the platforms you want to check out
because you can actually raise the money you need to purchase the real estate you need to be able to
fix and flip or to be able to invest for long-term investment purposes now if you're looking to break
into equity investing as an investor then you really want to look at Fundrise because Fundrise
deals with newer investors and helps kind of give you the steps you need to get started in
this plus they deal with all different kinds of businesses so if you're interested in getting an
investment they're definitely worth checking out and we funder speaking of newer businesses this
is perfect as well because we funder specializes on startup ventures it's newer businesses across
a ton of different industries so if you're looking for an investment you're newer in business you
definitely want to check out Wefunder and if you're interested in investing in real estate
you want to look at peer realty so peer realty is a great platform where you can actually get money
that you need to invest in more into real estate so we've talked about a couple of those options
we're starting to see equity crowdfunding very popular for investing in real estate because a
lot of people have the money to invest in real estate but they don't want to do the work so
places like this make it really easy for you to go and be able to raise the capital you need and if
you're willing to do the work then you still earn a good investment and the investors win as well.
Seed invest is another great equity crowdfunding platform if you're interested in getting a new
business funded so seed invest deal is a lot another source with newer businesses and local
stake is a great place to go if you just want to test interest if you want to see what kind
of interest potential investors have into your company or to your investment well then that's
a great place to actually be able to get started be able to test interest before you go all in
