On May 19, 2016, Joe Green, a Senior Legal Editor with Practical Law's Capital Markets & Corporate Governance Service, presented Startup Essentials: Crowdfunding, a webinar reviewing the different types of crowdfunding available to startups in the US and key considerations for startup founders and their advisers when considering whether to conduct a crowdfunding offering. Topics included the main features, costs, benefits, and drawbacks of different types of crowdfunding, including: rewards crowdfunding; accredited crowdfunding under Securities Act Section 4(a)(2) and Regulation D; federal crowdfunding under Securities Act Section 4(a)(6) and Regulation Crowdfunding; intrastate crowdfunding under Securities Act Section 3(a)(11) and Rule 147; "mini" public offerings under Securities Act Section 3(b)(2) and Regulation A (or, as it is now commonly called, Regulation "A+"); and peer-to-peer lending. A short Q&A session followed.
