The purpose of the event is to introduce a new generation of financial technology (fin-tech) investing platforms called Texas Crowdfunding Portals (TCPs) that will soon be providing equity investment opportunities to more than 20 million new Texas investors, who will have the legal right (when the TCP is approved by Texas State Securities Board) to invest up to $5,000 per startup company as angel investors. Investors can click here to register.

This new-style of Texas equity crowdfunding represents a vast departure from the old-school practice of working with broker-dealers where only accredited investors could get access to investments in up and coming high-tech, rapid growth areas to potentially spawn the next Uber, Google, or Facebook.

“DreamFunded.com has highly vetted startups within its platform for accredited investor members. This streamlines the investment process and makes it much easier for promising entrepreneurs to market their startup to a wide variety of accredited angel investors,” said Manny Fernandez, DreamFunded.com’s CEO. Click here to apply for startup funding at DreamFunded.com.

Currently DreamFunded.com is active for accredited investors only regardless of what state they live in.  When the platform officially opens the site for non-accredited investors, Crowdfunders also known as Issuers will be able to market their private equity investment deals immediately to more than over 3,400 accredited investors.  This represents a large pool worth millions of dollars of seed and venture capital that is ready and seeking to be invested in attractive new Texas business opportunities.

“Our Texas equity crowdfunding portal is awaiting approval from the Texas State Securities Board (TSSB), but the site is currently open to accredited investors,” said Rexford Hibbs, DreamFunded.com’s CFO.

About Manny Fernandez, CEO, DreamFunded.com

DreamFunded won the equity crowdfunding leadership award by Startup Grind Monterey Bay.

By Robert Hoskins

Austin, Texas – If you are new to the world of equity crowdfunding, then one of the safest ways to invest in new Texas startups is to join the Texas Equity Crowdfunding Syndicate™, which is a large group of unaccredited investors that follow the lead of experienced, seasoned and accredited equity investors that have been investing in private equity and seed investment deals for many years with a higher than average track record.  Join our crowdfunding investment syndicate by filling out the form at the bottom of this page. 

Texas Equity Crowdfunding Investment Syndicate Allows Unaccredited Investors to Follow Professional Investors

The Texas Equity Crowdfunding Syndicate follows the most prestigious accelerators and incubators in Texas that continuously shop for, discover, and curate deals from the best startups, entrepreneurs and inventors that are seeking seed investments and venture capital.

For the past 80 years, private equity  investments have been solicited behind closed doors through registered broker/dealers that were only allowed to market private equity deals to a small pool of accredited investors.

But now that the SEC has lifted the ban on General Solicitation, equity crowdfunding sites can now market private equity investment opportunities to more than 8.7 million accredited investors in the United States.  

And for Texas-based startups and businesses, the Texas State Securities Board (TSSB) has now legalized equity crowdfunding, which allows more than 20,000,000 Texas residents 18 years or older to invest up to $5,000 per deal in as many companies per year as they want.  That means every Texas business now has the ability to tap into more than $100 billion of Texas venture capital by issuing offers on Texas crowdfunding portals.

To get started and learn how to become a micro venture capitalist, simply fill out the form below and detail what type of crowdfunding investments you are interested in exploring.  All contact information will be kept extremely confidential, but will allow us to help issuers on various Texas crowdfunding sites and portals to send you valuable PPM investment deals for your review on new equity, debt and convertible note offerings.

This information will be delivered via highly targeted, double opt-in newsletters that will only deliver information on the precise information requested.

Hint: Don’t invest in any industry that you don’t fully understand

At any time, investors can change their investment interest categories or delete their name completely from our general solicitation marketing database if they get bombarded by opportunities that do not meet their specific investment objectives.

The Alternative Securities Markets Group announces that it will publicly release the Alternative Securities Market Rule Book on Monday, January 19th, 2014, one day prior to the firm registering SEC Form 1 with the SEC, the first step in making the Alternative Securities Market a Nationally Registered Crowdfunding Stock Exchange

By Robert Hoskins

Beverly Hills, California – The Alternative Securities Markets Group Corporation announced that it will be releasing to the public, on Monday, January 19th, 2015,  the entire “Alternative Securities Market Rule Book,” one full day prior to the firm’s long anticipated filing of SEC Form 1 to the United States Securities & Exchange Commission, which will be the first step in the process of having the “Alternative Securities Market” becoming recognized as a national stock exchange, and also the first public crowdfunding stock exchange.

The Alternative Securities Markets Group Corporation also announced last week that it has met all the requirements for its Broker Dealer (Alternative Securities Market, LLC, a wholly owned Subsidiary of Alternative Securities Markets Group Corporation) and Registered Investment Advisor (Alternative Securities Markets Group Corporation) Filings, and those are expected in the States of California, New York and Florida in the next week. The Alternative Securities Market is owned by Alternative Securities Market, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Alternative Securities Markets Group Corporation.

Mr. Steven J. Muehler, Chief Executive Officer of the Alternative Securities Markets Group Corporation, said that “In the opinion of the Alternative Securities Markets Group Corporation management and legal advisors, every crowdfunding website that provides any type of investment information about an issuer in regards to the issuers intentions to raise any type of investment capital, where an investor is expected to advance a cash investment to the issuer, where the investor has a reasonable expectation of a financial return, and where the issuer in return for the cash investment, gives the investor securities, these “Equity CrowdFunding Platforms” need to be either a Registered Broker-Dealer as defined by the Securities Act of 1933, or a Registered Stock Exchange with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, as defined in the Exchange Act of 1934.”

Leading Lending-Based Crowdfunding Site Elects Krista Morgan as New Chief Executive Officer

G. Krista Morgan elected by the P2Bi Board of Directors to become the next CEO of the Denver-based crowdfunding platform for business lending

By Robert Hoskins

Denver, CO – P2Binvestor (P2Bi) announced that cofounder Bruce Morgan stepped down as CEO at the Denver-based financial technology company to take the position of executive vice chairman on its board. Cofounder and former President G. Krista Morgan was elected by the P2Bi Board of Directors to become the next CEO effective January 5, 2015. The father-daughter team cofounded P2Bi in 2012, developed a crowdfunding platform to deliver working capital to growing businesses, and started lending in early 2014.

Krista Morgan Named CEO of Commercial Crowdlending Company P2Binvestor based in Denver, CO

By combining technology with crowdsourcing, P2Bi simplifies lending and provides efficient and competitively priced growth capital to small and midsize businesses. The company offers receivables financing, an asset-backed line of credit, working capital secured by contractual future revenue (designed especially for SaaS companies), and purchase order financing.

P2Bi has the capacity to consider multi-million dollar credit lines and lends to U.S. companies in various industries including technology, energy, personnel services, natural foods and beverages, manufacturing, and more. P2Bi’s investor crowd is limited to accredited investor participation. Learn more at P2Bi.com.

“The tremendous growth of P2Binvestor is in large part due to Krista’s diligence in building a new and different company with a competitive product, a superior culture, and an inherent focus on customers,” said John Spiers, P2Bi’s chairman. “She is a natural entrepreneur and leader, and her innovative ideas, energy, commitment to transparency, and passion for helping small businesses grow are unparalleled.”

Krista is a proven executive in alternative finance while also being one of the youngest women in a leadership position in the industry. She left an agency career in digital marketing in London to cofound P2Bi in Colorado in 2012. Since signing the company’s first client in May 2014, she has grown P2Bi’s commercial loan portfolio to $12.5 million, representing 30% month-over-month growth. P2Bi uses invoices to secure most credit lines and in just seven months’ time purchased more than $37 million in invoices.

“Over the past three years, Krista has demonstrated her leadership and strategic skills as she created a strong brand and broad market appeal for P2Bi,” said Bruce Morgan, former CEO and now executive vice chairman of P2Bi. “She created a modern crowdfunding approach to working-capital financing that appeals to a diverse generation of entrepreneurs who aren’t typical users of alternative finance.”

Krista was a key driver in establishing P2Bi’s customer-friendly policies, such as eliminating monthly minimums, minimizing transaction costs for clients, and implementing daily clearing of client accounts to improve their cash flow. She also created a rate-guarantee policy that allows clients to cancel their contracts with P2Bi without penalty if they find less-expensive financing. Krista felt policies like the rate guarantee would make it easier for P2Bi to build mutually beneficial alignment with its banking partners while meeting the needs of its fast-growing business clients.

“We view it as a mark of success when our customers are offered a line of credit at a great rate with a bank. Our financing is designed to be a bridge that supports businesses through a high-growth phase on their way to being bankable,” Krista said. “We pride ourselves in giving our clients as much capital as they need to grow at the most competitive rates with the best service. We want to be a great lending partner for as long as it makes sense.”

Under Krista’s operational leadership, P2Bi transformed from a startup into a revenue-producing player in the alternative-lending and crowdfunding industries. With news of the recent Lending Club IPO, P2Bi is attracting more interest from businesses, investors, and others in the industry.

“My goal as CEO is to put our customers—both businesses and investors—at the center of every decision we make and position P2Bi for long-term success. I want to make P2Bi a company that businesses think of first when they need a flexible, affordable source of working capital and one that accredited investors think of first when they want an alternative investment vehicle that offers fair returns and good liquidity,” Krista said. “I’m honored to be leading an incredible team into the next phase of our company’s growth.”

As executive vice chairman, outgoing CEO Bruce Morgan will remain an active part of the management team and will be responsible for managing relationships with fund managers and leading the company’s credit underwriting function.

New Equity Crowdfunding Site Predicts $850 Million for More than 1,200 Fundraising Campaigns in 2015

Credion will use the Symbid platform to connect its extensive nationwide network of investors and entrepreneurs, ensuring the most efficient access to capital for entrepreneurs

By Robert Hoskins

Rotterdam, Netherlands – Symbid Corp. (OTCQB:SBID), a new Dutch crowdfunding platform, and Credion, a leading financial advisory firm in the Dutch SME market, announced a contract to digitalize SME financing in the Netherlands through a new, online funding platform. Credion will process the funding for its 1,200 clients with an expected $850 million funding volume for 2015 via the Symbid platform. Symbid will receive monthly recurring revenue and transaction fees through the monitoring and deal-making tools available on the platform. This partnership is the first step towards creating an efficient capital market for SMEs worldwide.

Symbid is the only platform in the Netherlands where investors become shareholders via a cooperative

Credion recently celebrated its 14^th anniversary, during which time the company has connected over 6,000 entrepreneurs with $9.9 billion in funding. The partnership will see Credion use the Symbid platform to connect its extensive nationwide network of investors and entrepreneurs, ensuring the most efficient access to capital for entrepreneurs and greatly improving SME data monitoring standards for investors. Credion’s expected $850 million transaction volume in 2015 will be channelled exclusively through Symbid with the B2B component creating scope for an exponential growth of the service. By combining the various types of financiers into one funding platform, a hybrid of alternative and traditional finance, Symbid is creating the go-to platform for investors and entrepreneurs.

“With our crowdfunding platform growing exponentially, this agreement validates Symbid’s tiered business model and sees our crowdfunding brand expand into online deal-making and monitoring while adding new funding options,” said Korstiaan Zandvliet, founder and CEO of Symbid. “This partnership is the keystone of our funding platform and, alongside our upcoming European roll-out, means we’re adding solid monthly recurring revenue streams. It is now possible for the first time to track the real-time performance of SME investments with high-quality financial reporting. This technology means one of the biggest risks associated with SME investing is covered by Symbid.

“Through the combination of Credion’s years of experience in financial deal-making, Symbid’s technological innovations and, of course, the crowd, we’re making safe online investment a reality for both investors and entrepreneurs.”

With this long-term agreement, SMEs logging onto Symbid will have direct access to the top-tier accredited investor clientele of Credion, consisting of banks, equity based solutions and private investors, and Symbid’s thriving community of 27,000 active investors. As Symbid leads the transition from crowdfunding to online finance, the Symbid Financial Technology platform will now facilitate both B2C and B2B deals, creating additional monthly recurring revenue via Credion’s evergreen subscription to the Symbid funding platform.

“Working together with others to identify new ways to improve access to capital is a hallmark of our company philosophy,” said Carlo van der Weg of Credion. “Streamlining the way in which entrepreneurs find that crucial investment is a goal we share with Symbid. The open funding portal we’re creating with Symbid means we can connect all our clients with the right investors while also attracting, venture capital, investment funds and other financial firms.”

According to Jacob Nammensma, commercial director of Credion, it will allow Credion to develop new SME funding products: “We will be able to service front-, mid- and backoffice for institutional investors. That’s how this partnership is revolutionizing SME financing in the Netherlands, enabling Credion to offer the most efficient access to capital for entrepreneurs on the market.”

The long-term vision of this contract is to solve the ‘equity gap’ facing SMEs by combining Credion’s network and financial expertise with Symbid’s Financial Technology product portfolio. Symbid’s cloud-based monitoring technology uses current best practices in accounting to support the ongoing monitoring of SME investments.

Zandvliet continued, “Our standardized, interactive reports enable SMEs to match the accounting standards of listed companies, improving their chances of reaching that crucial next stage of finance. Symbid is blurring the boundaries between private and public companies.”

The real synergy of this partnership lies in the merging of an established investment community with the Symbid funding platform, creating a faster and more efficient capital market for private enterprises. Symbid will refer SMEs visiting its platform to the now connected Credion’s certified financial advisors or other advisors who will connect. Entrepreneurs can then maximize their chances of finding investment through Credion’s advisory services. Meanwhile, Credion’s financial advisors will have access to all deal-making and monitoring functionalities with Symbid receiving fixed monthly recurring revenues plus transaction fees. Every deal facilitated by Credion will be processed via the Symbid funding platform.

Symbid and Credion will together provide an interactive funding network in which investors and entrepreneurs can connect, fund, and grow. This ground-breaking collaboration is the first step towards a hybrid financial system with full connectivity: a faster and more efficient capital market for SMEs worldwide.

As of December 2014, Symbid has successfully funded over 60 start-ups for a total capital sum of $7,000,000. Symbid became the first publicly listed crowdfunding platform worldwide in December 2013 (OTCQB: SBID). In 2015 the company is expected to expand its product portfolio with several new (alternative and traditional) financial services in order to develop the Symbid platform towards an online funding network.  Symbid anticipates a European rollout of its investment crowdfunding platform beginning in Q1 2015.

Credion can offer alternative financing options in addition to those of a commercial bank. This is the main advantage for Credion customer. Since the company charges a fee for its services rather than asking commission from lenders, Credion can guarantee independent advice.

Freaker’s Founder Returns to Kickstarter to Launch $250k Crowdfunding Campaign to Fund New Line of Freaker Socks

When millions of people saw Freaker USA founder Zach Crain on ABC’s Shark Tank, the first thing they noticed were his zany antics, his wild beard, and his rambunctious yet business-savvy charm. What they may have missed is his commitment to keeping jobs in the US!

By Robert Hoskins

Wilmington, North Carolina – One of the wildest contestants ever on ABC’s Shark Tank, Zach Crain, founder of Freaker USA is returning to Kickstarter, where his 2011 video was hailed as “the holy grail of Kickstarter videos” by the crowdfunding site itself. Starting New Year’s Day, Freaker USA aims to raise $250,000 on Kickstarter in 40 days to begin production on Freaker Feet, the company’s high-quality line of socks that are 100% designed, sourced, and manufactured in the USA. The 6-minute video pitch is the company’s most outrageously entertaining video production yet.

Freaker Feet, the company’s high-quality line of socks that are 100% designed, sourced, and manufactured in the USA

Freaker USA’s quirky line of ultra-stretchy beverage insulators, called Freakers and also made in the USA, can now be found everywhere from independent gift shops and boutiques to major national retailers. The company is expanding into socks, an import-dominated industry, in order to further support manufacturing in America.

Freaker Feet’s Kickstarter page shows the anatomy of their domestically produced socks, with the names and locations of the American cotton spinners, mills, dyers, and packagers that will create them—and who will ultimately reap economic benefit from the campaign.

“Let’s team up! Let’s go after the sock industry that’s 99% overseas,” says Freaker USA founder Zach Crain. “Socks don’t need to have a 20,000 mile footprint. Let’s bring these jobs home.”

Freaker Feet will have 127 sock designs in total, including officially licensed collegiate, boutique styles, a design for each of the 50 States, and one for almost every football fan.

New Equity Crowdfunding Platform Allows Accredited Investors to Begin Investing in Fine Art Portfolios

Arthena Fine Arts receives investment from Beamonte Investments to create new cooperative investment platform that focuses on providing fine arts equity crowdfunding opportunities

By Robert Hoskins

Boston, MA – Beamonte Investments, a leading private investment firm in Boston, announced it has invested in Arthena, a cooperative investment platform that focuses on crowdfunding for investments in fine arts. Operated by Arthena Fine Arts, Inc., Arthena’s goal is to lower the cost basis for investments in fine arts, aiding in the diversification of investor portfolios without the cost and commitment of research, purchase, and storage.

Beamonte Investments is a private investment firm founded in 2000 that has specialized in private equity investments and structured lending and now fine art portfolios

Based in New York, NY, Arthena was founded by Madelaine D’Angelo and a team of experts from top universities in the US with backgrounds in the financial, law, art, and tech sectors. By combining access, expertise, and crowdfunding, the company seeks to give investors access to asset-class artwork with leaders from the art world through their platform. World leaders in art are able to get backing from accredited investors, yielding higher returns. Investors get access to exclusive lectures, gallery shows, and art fairs.

“It goes without saying that art is an asset class. Until now, it’s been difficult to know if you are partnered with the right advisor and have the right access to the right works. Arthena is bringing transparency to the world of art investments. Through our partnership with Beamonte, we believe that we are poised to bring art investment to the next generation of global collectors,” said D’Angelo.

“We are very excited to bring the opportunity of investment in art to the whole world. Before Arthena, the market for investment in fine art was limited to a few players with means and connections that took years to develop; Arthena allows the democratization of investing in art. Now, this excellent avenue of portfolio growth and diversification is available to investors across the globe,” added Federico Benavides, Analyst at Beamonte Investments.

Similar to AngelList Syndicates for start-up investment, Arthena helps to bring transparency to the opaque world of art investment. Arthena’s fund advisors are proven experts in their fields, and are committed to promoting the value of art. Arthena’s fund advisors expertise includes modern, contemporary, and emerging works of art.

Luis Trevino, Senior Managing Director at Beamonte Investments, commented, “It is immensely gratifying to see how the Arthena team has developed a unique product that brings access and transparency to the art industry; we are looking forward to working with Madeleine and her team, leveraging the Beamonte Investments platform.”
