Equity Crowdfunding is legal and already making huge economic impacts in other countries such as the United Kingdom and Australia. Rewards-based crowdfunding platforms such as Kickstarter, IndieGoGo and RocketHub have demonstrated that the crowd is more than willing to invest hundreds of millions of dollars into creative projects they believe in and the products/services they want to buy.
Equity Crowdfunding, however, will serve as the real game changer because it will make billions of new investment capital available to businesses that have the potential to eventually pull the U.S. out of its current recession.
