Aubrey Chernick Launches NexGen Crowdfunding Site that Actually Cares About Investors

(MoneyNewsWire.Net, May 07, 2016 ) Cheltenham, UK -- Crowdfunding has helped thousands of startups reach levels of success that would not have been possible without a much-needed boost in funding during the early stages. Unfortunately, the success and rewards that the startup founders and entrepreneurs are gaining through crowdfunding are not translating into the same experience for the “donors” involved, who are actually more akin to investors.

Reacting to the SEC's Game-Changing Crowdfunding Rules

Apparently the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) agrees with the stance that investors should have more opportunities in crowdfunding, so to make crowdfunding platforms more fair for everyone involved, they've released a 685-page document outlining rules and regulations for governing the practices of the crowdfunding industry. One of the rules introduced by the SEC allows non-accredited investors to gain company equity through crowdfunding donations, and that rule is what is helping NextGen

Crowdfunding excel with a unique and progressive business concept.

Any Investor Can Now Gain Company Equity Through Crowdfunding

This creates the possibility for startups to begin soliciting larger donations from more serious investors in exchange for an agreed amount of equity in the company. This is a big step forward in making crowdfunding a more mainstream and investor-oriented funding method. Now entrepreneurs can shift from only offering small rewards as incentives and start offering a percentage of the company in exchange for larger investments from nonaccredited investors. An article in Forbes has posed the question whether the new crowdfunding site from Aubrey Chernick could help the “new 98%” create a new economy.

Catering to Both Aspiring Startups and Aspiring Investors

The new rules from the SEC are rather liberating for any ambitious investor who is not yet accredited and wants to begin investing in startups that have high potential. Likewise, it is a breakthrough for entrepreneurs that are in need of significant funding but don't have access to large business loans or other conventional financing methods. In the business world, there are demographics and statistics just as in any other group. There will always be a certain percentage of entrepreneurs that need major funding fast and who actually have a business plan to warrant such funding, and there will always be eager nonaccredited investors looking for their way up the ladder. By catering to both, NextGen Crowdfunding is posed to become popular and useful on both sides of the fence.

If It's Not Broken, Don't Fix It – Improve It

One might think to themselves “Why would the SEC introduce such a lengthy set of rules for a crowdfunding industry that has done quite well for itself as it is?” While many people still like to hop on board the “if it isn't broken, don't fix it” train of thought, it seems that the SEC and NextGen Crowdfunding are both taking the “if it works, then let's improve upon it” approach. The move puts a very positive spin on what may critics have been calling a negative interjection by the SEC, showing that sometimes you just need to read between the lines to find the benefits and possibilities that an industry change can provide.
