Panel on “New Rules of Crowdfunding” to Take Place on September 27 (Discount Available)

September 17, 2012 by Staff

On September 27, Prescience International will present a panel on the New Rules of Crowdfunding. An overview of this program is:

On April 5, 2012 President Obama signed the JOBS Act bill into law. President Obama declared the JOBS Act (for "Jump-Start Our Business Start-Ups") is a "potential game changer". Indeed, funding for start-ups and emerging companies should become easier with an increased crowdfund cap and new IPO rules for example. However it does sound a bit risky to disclose your ideas to the whole world at a very early stage.

Key points that will be developed during this session include:
* Why and how to crowdfund your emerging company?
* Is crowdfunding a solution for your emerging company?
* Why do VCs and Angels get involved in crowdfunding?
* Do's and Don'ts of crowdfunding.
* What are the risks and how can you protect your company from them?
* Was a new legal and regulatory landscape created?

Panelists for this session will be:

  • Danae Ringelmann, Co-Founder, Indiegogo
  • Jai Ranganathan, Co-founder, Scifund Challenge 
  • Sherwood (Woodie) Neiss, Principal, Crowdfund Capital Advisors, LLC 
  • Patricia Salber, MD, MBA, Founder and CEO, Health Tech Hatch, and Vice-Chair,National Crowdfunding Association (NLCFA)
  • Paul Fox, General Partner, CalCEF Clean Energy Angel Fund
  • Lead Facilitator: Larry Kane, Corporate Partner, Emerging Companies Group Member, Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP

This event will take place from 3:00 – 6:30 pm at Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP, 1000 Marsh Road, Building 1100, Menlo Park, CA 94025.  Thanks to our friends at Prescience International, readers of Green VC can receive a discount to this event.  Please select the "Partner Rate" ticket when registering online.
