Crowd Valley COO Paul Higgins facilitated a workshop on crowdfunding in Berlin on May 25th with a group of entrepreneurs, investors, and finance professionals at the fifth SDW Gründer- und Unternehmerforum (Founders and Entrepreneurs) conference.
The applications of crowdfunding, peer-to-peer investing and new online funding models are vast. As the new online market emerges, there are several opportunities for creating access to new audiences. Real estate has presented many opportunities in the past and it seems many utilities of crowdfunding are being applied to the well-known sector. Crowd Valley COO Paul Higgins took part in a debate entitled: “Equity Crowdfunding – Fools' Money or Financial Revolution?” at the Colorado Crowd event in Denver on 3rd May 2013. AngelList and FundersClub both recently requested and received "no action" relief from the SEC staff. "No action" letters are often complicated and the law surrounding the discussion is extremely opaque. We have sought to set out the implications of the relief granted by the staff at the SEC as well as a summary of the type of structures the two companies intend to employ, the assumptions upon which they requested and were granted relief and a number of other salient points.
