According to David Drake, (http://thesoholoft.com/david/) Founder and Chairman of LDJ Capital, Victoria Global, The Soho Loft Media Group, Victoria Partners & Drake Hospitality Group,  "Regulation A+is a game changer in the sense that it raises the maximum amount that startups can raise through crowdfunding to 50 million from 5 million dollars. It also removes compliance requirements at state level and allows the general public to invest in startups without necessarily being accredited. This is a major breakthrough because startups and even small businesses are now allowed to hold initial public offers from the general public and not just accredited investors".

The agenda for this conference features networking breaks, panel discussions and an after event cocktail party. Entrepreneurs attending the event and are serious about raising capital online and investors who eagerly want to find top online syndicated deals will find the Master Classes featured in the conference agenda extremely helpful. Conference attendees can expect securities and regulatory experts to provide them with concise, straightforward steps and formula for online syndication and financing using Regulation A+. Some interesting discussions that attendees can look forward to include "Why Startups shouldn't overlook Reg A+", and "Reg A+ and Online Syndication for Real Estate". Silver sponsors will also benefit from a tailor-made, one on one 15 minute opportunity for funds and companies to have a meeting with high net-worth individuals, Family Offices, Venture Capitalists, Fund Managers and Institutional Investors.

Ken Davenport - Broadway Producer
Markus Lampinen - CEO and Co-Founder of  Crowd Valley Inc.

Scott Purcell, CEO and Founder of FundAmerica, says "Compared to 506(c), Reg A+ takes way more time to launch an offering, and far more costly in terms of legal fees, accounting costs, and annual reporting obligations. However, it enables you to sell to unaccredited investors and creates a tradable security."

FinLawyer & ConsultDA Partner Scott Andersen says, “Participants in Reg A+ will frequently operate on an investment advisory model. Compared to the broker-dealer model, investment advisors are not regulated by FINRA. Thus, the model  is generally less costly to operate. This provides an option that enables entrepreneurs to pursue business opportunities that Congress intended when it enacted the JOBS Act.”
