An introduction to equity crowdfunding. Have you heard of "angel investors" and "venture capitalists"? These are often the earliest investors in companies, long before they become the giant, successful businesses that are traded on national stock exchanges.

We'll introduce you to some key changes in 2016 called the "JOBS Act" that unlock these previously private capital markets (it was restricted to only the wealthiest investors) and now allows anyone, regardless of background or wealth, to invest in these high-risk, high-potential-reward businesses.
