EarlyShares offers Wednesday Webinar series for lowdown on 'equity crowdfunding'

October 18, 2014·Nancy Dahlberg

Webinar seriesHow would you grade your knowledge of the private investment market?

In September 2013, new regulations took effect enabling accredited investors to use online platforms to access opportunities that were previously unavailable to them. Though more than a year has passed since then, a relatively small number of individual investors have become educated on their new investing options.

If you’re not one of those enlightened few, now’s your chance to join the ranks of informed investors. EarlyShares just announced a new ‘Wednesday Webinar’ series on Private Investing 101. Each 15-minute webcast will help listeners get acquainted with a certain aspect of the so-called “equity crowdfunding” industry that has arisen under the General Solicitation exemption of Title II of the JOBS Act.

Not sure what ‘General Solicitation’ even means? The first course covered that, along with other need-to-know basics. (Watch the on-demand webinar here.) Sign up now for the second session in the series, detailed below. It will be at 12:30 p.m. Oct. 22.  After a short informational presentation, there will be time for questions.
