Episode notes

In 2016, the Jobs Act made it legal for just about anyone to be able to invest in startups. In your current startup, Boone, you've been able to run a successful capital raising campaign. How is equity crowdfunding different than Kickstarter? If you put 100 bucks into Oculus Rift when they were on Kickstarter, two years later have got a hundred thousand dollars.

On today’s show, I talk with Ryan Vet about the biggest challenges you’ll face when founding a startup, what equity crowdfunding is, how to use it to fund your startup, how to launch and manage a successful equity crowdfunding campaign, and much, much more! For those who don’t know who Ryan is, he is a successful entrepreneur, startup advisor, investor, and speaker. As a millennial himself, Ryan has reached a high level of success and looks to share what he’s learned along the way to help others achieve their goals as well.

What equity crowdfunding is.
How to use equity crowdfunding to fund your startup.
How to launch and manage a successful equity crowdfunding campaign.
