Title: Alternatives to BankToTheFuture for earlier/smaller funding stages?
Post by: UDC on January 08, 2017, 12:52:22 AM
Hey,
so does anyone know any alternative to BankToTheFuture for equity crowdfunding (similar to an ICO but with shares instead of coins),
more suited for startups looking for initial investment and that also accepts BTC/other cryptos?

What's the amount you're looking to raise? May be worth going a private route, depending on how much that is.

Yeah just run an ico. But make sure your legit or you'll be calledout and never get any money.

an ICO doesn't make sense in my case, no benefit from either the investors' perspective or "mine".

well in the ball park of 10-100k.

If you have a legitimate business plan and such, you can toss me a PM. I might be interested in it (along with others).

thanks i'll keep that in mind, but i'm only scouting at the moment, nothing formalized as of now.
Although i plan on having an operational/test network before then.

found out indiegogo just started offering equity crowdfunding as well, but only within the US.
