As a leading financial technology company that has always focused on innovating the investment industry, this is a perfect opportunity to leverage the new regulatory changes created by the JOBS Act with a company that is equally as innovative, Crowdfunder, a robust crowdfunding platform, to facilitate the company's next round of fundraising.
"Equities.com is about empowering investors with education, analysis, and access to opportunities," said Enzo Villani, CEO of Equities.com. "By giving accredited investors the opportunity to own a piece of our company we are practicing what we preach by leveling the playing field for investors and creating a collaborative financial community utilizing some of the most exciting legislation and technology created by Crowdfunder."
"Equity crowdfunding is in many ways an extension of the small-cap market," said David Bernard, Founder and Chairman of Equities.com. "It's agile and innovative, utilizing the best technology and emerging legislation to give investors exciting opportunities."
"We're thrilled to see high growth companies like Equities.com on Crowdfunder, who themselves serve as a media platform and resource for the global investment community.
