What is Crowdfunding Marketing?
Crowdfunding marketing is a promotional strategy for before, during, and after your crowdfunding campaign. Crowdfunding involves getting a large number of people to fund your project with smaller contributions, instead of approaching just a few big investors for larger contributions.
Crowdfunding marketing is the marketing you do to raise awareness of your campaign, bring people on board to fund your campaign, and increase your chances of obtaining the financial backing you need to meet your goals.
TYPES OF CAPITAL RAISING CAMPAIGNS WE SUPPORT
Crowdcreate delivers equity crowdfunding campaigns which leverage social media channels like Facebook and LinkedIn to generate engaged, qualified leads to your equity crowdfunding landing page on portals such as Birchal.
Our equity crowdfunding campaigns take place in two stages – Expression of Interest, followed by Conversion – so that you can generate an initial audience of potential investors who loves what you do, and convert their interest into equity investment.
Regulation A (Reg A)
- Regulation A, often referred to as Reg A, is a regulation that allows businesses to raise capital through the sale of securities, such as stocks or bonds, to the general public, including non-accredited investors (individuals who do not meet certain income or net worth requirements).
- Reg A has two tiers: Tier 1 and Tier 2. Tier 1 allows businesses to raise up to $20 million in a 12-month period, while Tier 2 allows for up to $75 million. Tier 2 offerings have more extensive reporting requirements and are subject to state-level regulations.
- Reg A offerings are subject to SEC review and must provide investors with an offering circular, which is similar to a mini-prospectus.
Regulation D (Reg D)
- Regulation D, or Reg D, provides exemptions from the normal SEC registration requirements, allowing businesses to raise capital through private placements, often from accredited investors (high-net-worth individuals or institutions). There are three main rules under Reg D:
a. Rule 504: Allows businesses to raise up to $5 million within a 12-month period, with no restrictions on the type of investor.
b. Rule 505: Allows businesses to raise up to $5 million within a 12-month period but restricts the number of non-accredited investors to 35 or fewer.
c. Rule 506: The most commonly used rule under Reg D, it has two options – 506(b) and 506(c). Rule 506(b) allows for unlimited fundraising, with no advertising to the general public, while Rule 506(c) permits general solicitation but restricts investment to accredited investors.
Regulation Crowdfunding (Reg CF)
- Regulation Crowdfunding, or Reg CF, allows small businesses and startups to raise capital from a large number of investors, including non-accredited investors, through online crowdfunding platforms registered with the SEC.
- Under Reg CF, a business can raise up to $5 million within a 12-month period.
- There are limits on the amount individual investors can invest based on their income and net worth.

FAQ
How Does Equity Crowdfunding Work?
Equity crowdfunding is a way to raise capital online from investors to fund a startup. In return for the funds, investors receive equity ownership in the business and become shareholders. Equity crowdfunding happens on online platforms where entrepreneurs can create a business profile, financial statements, pitches, and more.
Crowdfunding platforms often charge a percentage of funds raised for their services. Some use a monthly listing fee while others charge payment processing fees. With this in mind, it’s vital that you put your best foot forward to get a positive return on investment.
How Is Equity Crowdfunding Different?
Equity crowdfunding is different from rewards-based crowdfunding, which offers a reward in the form of a product or service in return for funds. These platforms are more like Kickstarter or GoFundMe, though the latter often deals with charitable contributions.
Another difference with equity crowdfunding is that there’s no debt component. Startup owners don’t have to take out and pay interest on a business loan. Instead, they’re selling shares of the ownership in the company to investors.
Is It Legal to Use Equity Crowdfunding?
Yes, it’s legal. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission allows private companies to raise up to $5 million over a 12-month period through equity crowdfunding. These funds may be raised in increments. Investors can be accredited, meaning that they are eligible based on requirements like income or assets, or everyday consumers. You can even have friends and family involved in your crowdfunding efforts.
What Are the Benefits of Equity Crowdfunding?
Selling shares of your company is an excellent alternative to taking out loans and getting into debt from the start. Equity crowdfunding is a good option for businesses that are on a strong growth trajectory. You can sell shares to multiple investors to raise more capital and pool the funds into a single investment for accounting and financial reporting.
Plus, as the crowdfunding efforts gain momentum, you automatically get buzz for your business and possible new investors or customers. Think of this like “free” promotion, since it happens organically as a result of your deliberate crowdfunding marketing.
How Can I Get Started with Equity Crowdfunding?
There are numerous crowdfunding platforms that offer equity crowdfunding, including Fundable, LocalStake, PeerRealty, EquityNet, SeedInvest, and StartEngine. These platforms offer different options, features, and fees, so evaluate which one is the best for your needs.

What Are Social Tokens?
What Are Social Tokens?
Social tokens are different from equity crowdfunding, but they share some similarities. These tokens derive value from the growth of the shared creators and their communities and leverage the same underlying blockchain technology. Tokenization provides unique ecosystems that are more user friendly and rewarding than advertising. Though they’re different from equity crowdfunding, both have tons of potential for the creator economy and startups.
