Tonight’s Inventors Association of Connecticut meeting will be on “Recent Developments in Raising Capital”.

I will be attending tonight’s Inventors Association of Connecticut (IACT) meeting.   Attorney Cliff Ennico will present on:  “Living in the Wild, Wild West: Recent Developments in Raising Capital”.   The meeting will be at the Milford Public Library at 6:30 pm tonight.

The last couple of years have seen several significant developments in private equity, such as: The increasing (albeit slowly) popularity of “crowdfunding” in the U.S.; Opening of venture capital funds to retail investors; Expansion of SEC rules for private placements that involve general solicitation or advertising; Widespread adoption (and abuse) of simple agreements for future equity (SAFEs) in venture capital financings; Streamlined regulation of private offerings at the state level; and Trump Administration initiatives that impact the capital raising process.

Which of these developments will be long-lasting, and which will be “flashes in the pan”?  Is it time for you to start investing in crowdfunded startups and alternative currencies?  In this exciting, fast-paced program you will learn about the legal and regulatory framework that is evolving for fintech from an attorney and author who has helped shaped the debate in this area.

The Inventors Association of Connecticut will be holding its monthly meeting tonight at the Milford Library

The Inventors Association of Connecticut (IACT) will be holding a meeting tonight at 5:30 pm at the Milford Library.   It is open to the public.  Tonight, David Masa will be presenting.   Mr. Maass will provide an overview of Additive Manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D Printing. First introduced about 30 years ago, AM has steadily grown at a compound annual rate of 25% ever since and is now an $18 BB industry. What started as a way to make rapid prototypes from polymers (plastics) now includes a wide range of materials including metals, ceramics, food and even human tissue and organs. There are seven major classes of AM processes and equipment, and many variants of each process type. There is also a very wide range of end-use applications including medical devices, rocket engines, tooling, spare parts and a trend towards serial production use in many industries. David will describe why AM innovation is often in the news today, where and why AM is being used while showing numerous and varied examples.
