Ryan Caldbeck On Crowdfunding Criticisms

While crowdfunding has received considerable positive fanfare since the JOBS Act was passed in April 2012, there has also been considerable criticism leveled against the industry covering both the companies trying to crowdfund and the investors funding them. Below are the three concerns that I hear most often as CEO of CircleUp, and what we do as a platform to mitigate these concerns.

Concern 1: Companies that use crowdfunding are weak

Concern 2: Confidentiality

Concern 3: The investors will not add value
