1. Equity crowdfunding

   Equity crowdfunding is the online offering of private company securities to a group of people for investment and therefore it is a part of the capital markets. Because equity crowdfunding involves investment into a commercial enterprise, it is often subject to securities and financial regulation. Equity crowdfunding is also referred to as crowd-investing, investment crowdfunding, or crowd equity. Equity crowdfunding is a mechanism that enables broad groups of investors to fund startup companies and small businesses in return for equity. Investors give money to a business and receive ownership of a small piece of that business. If the business succeeds, then its value goes up, as well as the value of a share in that business—the converse is also true. Coverage of equity crowdfunding indicates that its potential is greatest with startup businesses that are seeking smaller investments to achieve establishment, while follow-on funding (required for subsequent growth) may come from other sources.

Examples of equity crowdfunding in a Sentence

1. Jeff Annison and Paul Scanlan:

   For the investors, we believe it’s a terrific time. There will be overhead of getting up to speed on the new portals, but early-adopter investors will have opportunities that may not be available as equity crowdfunding becomes more mainstream, plus the chance to gain experience that will serve them will as the ecosystem grows.

2. Jeff Annison and Paul Scanlan:

   We don’t expect these companies to experience much success. Equity crowdfunding isn’t easy or inexpensive, and the SEC has important safeguards like bad actor checks and reporting requirements that will eliminate most of the riff-raff, plus, the public is sophisticated these days and has access to enough information to make well-informed decisions.

3. Jeff Annison and Paul Scanlan:

   At its worst we’ll see companies turn to equity crowdfunding because their business plans aren’t strong enough to get funding elsewhere.

4. Ellen Grady:

   Companies that are most likely to be successful raising capital using equity crowdfunding are companies that already have a business with a community following.

5. Christian Catalini:

   If we think about the equity crowdfunding market -- so people investing in startups or small businesses -- what may happen if the market continues to go down is, of course, that there will be less liquidity available and so less investment.
