In the past, when small-to-medium sized companies had a need for financing working capital, product development, and sales and marketing, the sources of financing were usually limited to the traditional ones, including banks and financial intermediaries, or through borrowings from families and friends. With the implementation of Title III of the JOBS Act in 2016, it's time to make some changes. Therefore, we founded Mr. Crowd, which operates MrCrowd.com, an equity crowdfunding portal dedicated to helping small-to-medium sized companies to raise funds. Mr. Crowd is an SEC-registered equity crowdfunding platform, where a community of retail investors invests their money in small to medium-sized businesses. Mr. Crowd offers retail investors the opportunity to invest in various businesses, building upon their own investment portfolio, supporting US businesses and seeking investment returns.
