What is the future of crowdfunding?

How do you see the registered investment crowdfunding (#RIC) market evolving in the future? What does the merger of StartEngine and SeedInvest suggest in that context?

Great question!  Here's what our CEO Rebecca Kacaba predicts:

1. Definitely more payment options to consider: not just fractional considerations, but options like crypto and credit card will become available on more deals

2. More multi-jurisdictional deals: the compliance and regulatory environment makes this challenging, but a digital-first approach is the key to tapping into the internet's power creating a single global capital market

3. Better data & analytics: deeply understanding the dynamics of deals will level-up predictions, valuations, and accuracy for founders and VCs alike

4. Improved Access to Capital: these innovations are already moving the dial on getting more $$ to founders that are women or POC, and soon true equitable representation will be the norm
