In 2012, Congress passed the JOBS Act, and now for the first time in 80 years, private businesses in the U.S. can raise investment not just from wealthy investors, but the general public. 

Since then businesses have raised billions in investment capital using these new rules and leveled the playing field for entrepreneurs who have historically been left out of traditional angel and venture capital investment. 

We'll be joined by Cedric Long, President of Silicon Prairie Capital Partners, a broker-dealer with expertise in both traditional securities offerings and the new investment crowdfunding offerings. 

Empower yourself, your organization and your staff with the knowledge and resources to support clients in using investment crowdfunding to fund their businesses. 

Attendees will also be invited to explore the Crowdfund Better Certified Advisor® training program to better understand how to guide clients to crowdfunding success. 

This webinar is sponsored by Silicon Prairie Capital Partners. 

Kathleen Minogue is Founder & CEO of Crowdfund Better® and a recognized leader in the commuity capital ecosystem for her pioneering work in crowdfunding education. She is the creator of The Crowdfund Better Process®, the first crowdfunding technical assistance curriculum built to increase campaign success while strengthening business fundamentals. Kathleen is delighted to bring crowdfunding training to her fellow advisors.
