Why learn about CrowdFunding and get prepared now?

When we look at successful individuals or companies that achieve market share beyond their initial dreams and plans,  you can quickly see that Timing is Everything. This is even more true about CrowdFunding.

CrowdFunding is an avenue for entrepreneurs,  startups, and SMBs to solicit Working Capital from non-accredited investors. The CrowdFunding provisions of the JOBS Act (H.R. 3606 Jump Start Our Business Startups Act) allows companies to raise up to $1 million in capital per year via crowdfunding platforms from individual investors without the requirements to registering with the  SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission ).  Many investors will come from, family, friends, Venture capitalists,  Entrepreneurs’ pre-existing networks, mentors, and former colleagues.

Clearly, there are many unknowns as the SEC completes the development of the functional details and related regulations of CrowdFunding Platforms by January 2013.  

However, there are many steps that small businesses can take to get ready. You need 3 to 6 months of planning and preparation ahead of a Crowdfunding campaign to:
  1. Build and develop your business concept and your " business plan "
  2. Build your Crowd  and your Social Capital Engines
  3. Build your virtual office, communication and collaboration suite in the cloud (web 2.0 ) 
  4. Start building the "Crowd" as early as possible   for your  "crowd" funding campaign. As you see Crowd comes first before funding.
  5. Protect your idea while your project is posted in Crowdfunding   campaign  for  all the world to see  One answer might be  “File a provisional patent application" as soon as possible
It Pays to Learn, be Prepared and Practice.
