VC Taskforce Launches Crowdfunding Series
Program Series to Focus on New Ether Dollar Economy
(firmenpresse) - PALO ALTO, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 09/04/13 -- ™, an organization committed to enhancing collaboration in the venture community, today announced its Crowdfunding Series, which will launch on September 18, 2013. Fueled by the new Ether Dollar economy, the new programs will focus on the brave new world of crowdfunding, using equity, debt or pre-sale dollars.
As the SEC begins to hand out rulings on how it intends to implement the JOBS Act, crowd equity funding sites pop up, entrepreneurs rush in, and angel investors are wrestling with whether -- and how -- they would participate in the new Ether Dollar economy.
And what about the VCs? How will the brave new world of democratic funding affect what deals they do and how they invest? How will the new landscape reshape the funding curve? Will there be winners and losers? How will those who invest -- and those who seek investments -- adapt and evolve in the new order of things?
For the first event in the series, VC Taskforce has assembled a panel of speakers representing all of the classic sources of early-stage capital: super angels, organized angels, early-stage venture funds. The panel will dissect the pros and cons of crowd equity funding (as opposed to presales) to see how the funding sites may affect the pattern and style of investing and where the pitfalls are, peer into the future for unintended consequences, and dialog about the collective views on how panelists will/will not participate and engage in this new investment landscape.
The event will kick off with a presentation by the attorneys at Dorsey & Whitney on the latest from the SEC as it relates to equity funding in the cloud, with the crowd. Following this presentation, the panel will engage in a conversation about their views regarding the current environment and likely future evolution of crowd equity funding. The panel will answer questions submitted by attendees during the registration process, as well as engage in a dialog with the audience on the topic.

Moderator: , Managing Partner, Opero Partners LLC
Panelists:

, Managing Partner, Fifth Era
, Managing Director/Founder, HealthTech Capital
