For a century, you weren't invited
The rule was simple and rarely stated out loud: if you weren't already wealthy, you couldn't invest in a company until it was already big. By the time a great American brand reached your brokerage account, the people who took the real risk had already been paid.
The JOBS Act changed that. Today, under Regulation Crowdfunding, almost any adult in America can invest in a private company — often for less than the cost of a night out.
Most people still don't know this is legal. That's the problem we exist to solve.
