What is Regulation Crowdfunding?

Regulation Crowdfunding is a securities exemption that allows privately-owned companies in the US to raise capital from investors with limited marketing restrictions.

Under this exemption, issuers are permitted to:

  • Accept investments from both accredited and non-accredited investors
  • Leverage a funding portal’s network and marketing activities
  • Test the waters prior to the launch of a Reg CF campaign
  • Utilize social media to promote a campaign
  • Openly pitch a fundraising effort at events
  • Experience simplified investor on-boarding with the help of a funding portal

The Limits of Regulation Crowdfunding

While equity crowdfunding is an increasingly viable method of raising capital in the US, the Reg CF exemption does have its limitations and is not a good fit for every business.

Some of the most practical considerations include:

  • A maximum offering amount of $5,000,000 per 12 months under Reg CF
  • A requirement to list the offering with an SEC and Finra registered broker-dealer or Funding Portal
  • Number of investor limits under the Exchange Act and the limited Reg CF carve out from Section 12(g)
  • Investment limits for non-accredited Investors
