THE PLACE TO DISCOVER THE FUTURE OF INVESTING
… by Janice Cheng with updates from 103 staff.
Hosted at TubeScience Studios in Los Angeles, California, Equity Crowdfunding Week by StartupStarter is 3 days of investment Startup discovery. This immersive investment conference is taking place online and in person right now! November 9 to 11, 2022 — and is one not to miss!
Over the past few years, digital platforms have emerged as a viable means of disrupting industries, and the finance sector is no exception. And with the way inflation is trending, knowing how to invest is key to playing the game – and playing it smart.
New to the investing landscape is equity crowdfunding – a way for businesses to raise capital that is growing rapidly in popularity. According to research by Valuates Reports, the global crowdfunding market was valued at $12.27 billion in 2019 and is expected to reach a whopping $25.8 billion by 2026.
Equity crowdfunding is the medium that allows anyone to become a shareholder of promising startups. It involves exchanging relatively small amounts of cash, like $250 or more, allowing investors to own a proportionate slice of equity in a business.
Designed to educate the public on how to invest, this highly anticipated conference is here to make investing a tangible, accessible experience for all. And it’s certainly delivering on that note so far!
“2022 Equity Crowdfunding Week is our answer to the economic downturn. As the world is bracing for impact and the financial markets are being shaken up, Equity Crowdfunding is uniquely positioned to highlight some of the most innovative companies in the private markets while helping thousands of entrepreneurs weather the storm. As a business dedicated to democratizing entrepreneurship, this is how we are able to help our audience access capital at scale.” says Jose Barrera, co-founder and CEO of StartupStarter.
“Our goal is to take this mainstream and open up the world of investing to the general public,” he adds. Of course, this is also for angel investors, VCs, family offices and entrepreneurs alike. Safe to say that all eyes are on the event.
Six different industry tracks to explore
Known as the Coachella of equity crowdfunding events, Equity Crowdfunding Week is unlike any other. It’s stacked with an all-star lineup of industry leaders and moguls, structured around six different industries, including blockchain & Web3, cannabis & wellness, cleantech, ecommerce & retail, real estate, and startups.
