Crowdfunding Expert Kendall Almerico Releases Column on Entrepreneur.com
Tampa, FL (PRWEB) March 02, 2014 -- Crowdfunding expert Kendall Almerico's crowd funding column "Will Equity Crowdfunding Laws Be the Death of Kickstarter?" was published today on Entrepreneur.com.
"This article tackles the common misconception that the JOBS Act and equity crowdfunding laws will have a negative effect on Kickstarter and other rewards-based crowdfunding platforms," Almerico said.
In the Entrepreneur article, crowdfunding expert Almerico explains that the JOBS Act and the proposed SEC rules have nothing to do with Kickstarter or any rewards-based crowdfunding site. "The SEC rules only apply to equity crowdfunding, where a company is selling stock or equity from an online crowdfunding site," Almerico says. "In fact, Kickstarter has already said it will not participate in equity crowdfunding, and most rewards-based crowdfunding sites will not do so either, primarily because of the extremely high cost of compliance."
