I’ve heard all these questions over the past few months so I thought I’d put down a few thoughts to clarify the MASSIVE difference between the two. Because Equity Crowdfunding feels so new, popular curiosity comes down to one thing: “How is it different from Crypto and all the outright fraud in that world? Will I lose all my money… again?” The two are very, very different but share one thing… Yesterday, I was talking to Jake Hoffberg, Co-Founder and Publisher at Equifund, a platform that has done over $50 million in raises to date and he said something that hit the bullseye IMHO. He said “Equity Crowdfunding is like bitcoin in 2012.”
