The Jobs Act signed last month changed the game for startups.  There is a new pool of investors for companies that are seeking to raise capital.  Before diving into this new pool, get educated about the process and options that are available.  Crowdfunding is more than just Kickstarter.  There is Wefunder, Crowdtilt, AngelList, Indiegogo, just to list a few you may not be familiar with.  Each Crowdfunding site has it’s own flavor.  The National Council for Entrepreneurial Tech Transfer is offering free education programs and have created a website.  Before, you dive in, get informed.  http://youcrowdfund.org/
