• "Accredited investor crowdfunding"
• For entrepreneurs whose companies need funding (and who doesn't?), the JOBS Act and crowdfunding seem like the magic answer to many capital-raising problems. Are these new securities laws and SEC regulations right for your company?

• In this workshop, you will learn the nuts and bolts about Regulation A+ that allows companies to raise up to $50 million in a "Mini-IPO" online, with anyone (not just rich and well-connected folks) being allowed to invest. You will get a look at the new "equity crowdfunding" law, Reg CF or Title III of the JOBS Act, that went into effect on May 16, 2016 and allows start-ups to raise up to $1 million online through a "funding portal" that sells stock in your private company to the general public. You will also hear about "accredited investor crowdfunding," where your company can use online methods and marketing to raise money from wealthy investors through Section 506(c) - Title II of the JOBS Act.

Kendall Almerico, our distinguished speaker is called by Forbes as "one of the top JOBS Act and crowdfunding attorneys in the country." Kendall is not your typical lawyer. He is also a successful entrepreneur who has made these laws work to raise millions of dollars for companies. Kendall operates the JOBS Act funding platform BankRoll and practices law with Almerico Law with offices in Washington DC and Florida. Kendall will not only discuss the legal and financial aspects, but also the all-important marketing component of these laws and rules that will make or break your company's online funding campaign.
