JOBS Act Attorney Kendall Almerico Answers The Question: "Will Equity Crowdfunding Laws Be The Death Of Kickstarter?"
Tampa, FL (PRWEB) March 15, 2014 -- Crowdfunding lawyer Kendall Almerico's column "Will Equity Crowdfunding Laws Be the Death of Kickstarter?" tackles the common misconception that the JOBS Act and equity crowdfunding laws will have a negative effect on Kickstarter and other rewards-based platforms.
In the article, JOBS Act lawyer Almerico explains that the JOBS Act and the proposed SEC rules have nothing to do with Kickstarter or any rewards-based site. "The SEC rules only apply to equity funding portals, where a company is selling stock or equity from an online site," Almerico says. "In fact, Kickstarter has already said it will not participate in equity funding, and most rewards-based sites will not do so either, primarily because of the extremely high cost of compliance."
