Is it possible to use investor relations marketing campaigns to attract 10,000 new shareholders?

Episode 1: The Race to Build the “Amazon” of online capital raise

Equity crowdfunding – both with a CF raise and the larger Regulation A and Regulation A+ vehicles – are big part of the digital transformation of capital markets.
The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (JOBS ACT) created the sector in order to help more companies raising capital and allow main street investors more direct access to private markets.
Once the policy opened the door it was up to entrepreneurs, like today’s guest, to actually build the infrastructure to allow the equity crowdfunding space to flourish.
In the process something remarkable happened – capital raise began to merge with ecommerce marketing models.
And that part of the equity crowdfunding revolution is having dramatic impacts. Here at Media Meets Markets we believe the full opportunities this merging of digital marketing and capital markets are grossly underestimated.
