Join Advanta IRA’s Lunch and Learn Crowd to Find Out What Crowdfunding Is, How It Works and How Crowdfunding May Benefit Your Retirement
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) July 24, 2013 -- Crowdfunding is hardly a new concept, as this term initially applied to the way people and organizations raise money for things such as inventions, motion picture and/or artist promotion, disaster relief, and even for political campaigns. Use of the Internet and social media platforms helped crowdfunding in this manner to be acknowledged as a potentially successful way to raise funds. The general idea is to request a crowd of people to donate funds in small amounts towards a cause. “In terms of the world of finance, crowdfunding is becoming a popular way for companies obtain funding by selling small amounts of equity to a large number of investors,” says Monte Smith, Education and Marketing Director at Advanta IRA Administration.
As a relatively new concept in finance, crowdfunding has gained notoriety and acceptance thanks to its inclusion in the recent JOBS Act legislation that potentially eases restrictions on the kinds, and therefore, number of investors that can participate in funding a corporate entity. In return for one’s investment, typically shares or equity in the business are issued. “Used in terms of Advanta IRA’s services, it may be possible for individuals to invest in all kinds of start-up businesses and private placements using self-directed IRAs,” says Smith.
Leading the effort to educate investors on the subject of crowdfunding, Advanta IRA Administration is hosting a lunch and learn on July 26th, featuring Justin Miller of SterlingFunder.com.
SterlingFunder.com is a crowdfunding portal or platform that connects potential investors with entrepreneurs. During this seminar, Justin will provide details about this exciting new way to support and get in on the ground floor of new, entrepreneurial projects, whether or not one is an accredited investor. Justin will also discuss the impact of the Invest Georgia Exemption (IGE), the benefits and drawbacks of crowdfunding, and how one can crowdfund using one’s self-directed IRA.
