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.
