Vancouver, British Columbia, November 1, 2013 - Crowdfunding has been one of the
fastest growing areas on the Internet, with a search for the term on Google
resulting in 364 million results.
Lesley Mapstone of InvestmentPitch discusses crowdfunding and the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission`s new rules. This video is now available for

During 2012, a multitude of crowdfunding sites raised more than $3 billion for
charitable causes, community projects, personal needs and businesses. This year,
the number is expected to exceed $5 billion.
Of course, with all this money and attention, it was only a matter of time
before Donald Trump got involved. Donald Trump is offering a $1 million reward
to the first person who uses FundAnything to break the all-time crowdfunding
record set by Pebble Watch. Trump, along with Bill Zanker are co-founders of
FundAnything.
"If you have a great idea, FundAnything is one of the best ways to raise money
that I've ever seen" stated Trump. "So I'm giving away $1 million to the first
person who raises more than the $10,181,000 that Pebble Watch raised on
Kickstarter."
The question on everyone's mind, "Can I use crowdsourcing to raise equity for my
company?"
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission recently issued its long-awaited
rules that would allow equity crowdfunding under certain conditions. The
proposed rules, which are under a 90-day comment period, involves new
regulations designed to govern crowdfunding which is becoming even more popular
since the introduction of the JOBS Act, which is expected to stimulate capital
raising.
The proposed legislation would limit issuers to raising US$1 million in a 12-
month period. It would also restrict the amounts investors could risk. If an
investor's annual income or net worth is less than US$100,000, the limit is
US$2,000, or 5% of annual income or net worth. If the annual income or net worth
is more than US$100,000, the limit is 10% of annual income or net worth, up to
US$100,000.
In Canada, the security regulators are looking at the potential problems, with
Saskatchewan the first to propose a new exemption.
