Peoples VC offers 1st Investor Ed class for Crowdfunding Investors
#1 Crowd-Powered Venture Capital portal offers Public Investors Online Class
PETERBOROUGH, N.H., June 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Peoples VC announced today that it has become the first Crowdfunding site to offer an online Education and Certification class for investors considering crowdfunding investments. The class is now open to the general public at no cost.

The recently passed "Crowdfunding Act" has created a new fundraising option which allows small businesses to sell up to $1 Million of stock or securities to the general public through a process known as Crowd Funding. The new law allows entrepreneurs to utilize the power of social media such as LinkedIn(TM), Facebook(TM), and Twitter(TM) to raise up to $1 Million of capital by selling company stock directly to friends, friends of friends, and the general public.
"Crowdfunding investments are actually Venture Capital investments - early stage deals that generally include a high degree of risk," said Mr. Noah Tier, Peoples VC's company spokesman. "The general public needs to be educated and prepared for these types of investments, and we are pleased to be the first to offer online Education and Certification," Mr. Tier added.
The systems at PeoplesVC.com have been designed so Public Investors cannot commit funds to crowdfunded ventures without prior Education and Certification. The goal is to be sure all investors understand the stock restrictions and associated risks before proceeding with a private equity Venture Capital investment.
The Company recently announced it had created the first on-line calculator tool that calculates how much the government will allow investors to invest in Crowdfunded businesses, as this number can be different for each investor because it depends upon personal financial information such as income and net worth.
While crowdfunding portals may not open their crowd funding marketplaces until the SEC finalizes its rules and guidelines, PeoplesVC has emphasized the need for investors to prepare properly for the moment Crowdfunding markets can open.
