As we all know, outside capital is like oxygen for technology related companies. Looking to raise funds to build your company? Equity crowdfunding may be an attractive option for startups or even companies of significant size (including those who have already done some capital raising!)
Join the Center for Biotechnology, Farrell Fritz, P.C.and the Long Island High Technology Incubator for a workshop led by Alon Kapen, JD, Partner at Farrell Fritz, P.C. and Chair of its Emerging Companies and Venture Capital practice group.

Topics will include costs, benefits, and drawbacks of different types of crowdfunding, including accredited crowdfunding under Rule 506(c) of Regulation D; non-accredited crowdfunding under Title III of the JOBS Act and Regulation Crowdfunding; and “mini” public offerings under “Regulation A+”.
