Tweetable Quotes
“Regulation crowdfunding changes those two aspects of Regulation D. Firstly, startup founders can now raise capital from unaccredited investors as well as accredited investors. And then secondly, you can publicly promote the investment opportunity on social media... In those two ways, regulation crowdfunding, we think, is making it a lot easier for founders to raise capital.” - Jonny Price
“The only people that get to benefit from Uber’s IPO and Airbnb’s IPO are accredited investors, and so much wealth has been created by startups. So the idea that we should share that explosive wealth creation around more broadly feels to me like a good thing.” - Jonny Price
