Crowdfunding
Recent changes in federal securities law have opened crowdfunding to grassroots investors. Data suggests that the most important new beneficiaries are companies led by women and people of color. By mobilizing local businesses and grassroots investors to take advantage of investment crowdfunding, our neighborhoods will see more income, wealth, jobs, and successful businesses.
