Another Step Closer to Crowdfund Investing (CFI) Reality

Yesterday, October 27, 20011, our bill HR 2930 was amended in the Full Financial Services Committee. It now pretty much matches everything we have been advocating for in Washington! From here it goes to the floor of the US House of Representatives.

Sherwood Neiss, chief advocate of the Startup Exemption said, “What an amazing milestone. Several democrats also signed on showing further bipartisan support for entrepreneurship, innovation and JOBS!”

The Startup Exemption formulated only 10 months ago with a goal to update the security laws to use the tenants of crowdfunding to get capital flowing to entrepreneurs. In that short period of time, they acquired thousands of follows on their petition, blog and twitter feed. They were part of 2 congressional hearing in Washington, DC. They were consulted and included in President Obama’s American Jobs Act and were the backbone for HR 2930, what they like to call the Crowdfund Investing Act.
