Today the new SEC rules went into effect for equity crowdfunding. Posted on them before, but there are several important points:

1) Reg CF limits were raised from 1.07 million annually to 5 million

2) Reg A funding was raised from $50 million to 75 million (more stringent reporting and doc prep)

3) Ability to "test the waters" for corps ascertaining interest while at the same time prepping documents for a REG CF or A campaign.

4) Investment limits raised for non accredited investors and accredited investors now have no limits on amount they can invest.

I watched a kickoff meeting with Mr. Wonderful and the CEO of StartEngine Howards Marks today. I don't see it on line yet. Mr. Wonderful expounded on his reasons why the limit change from 1.07 million to 5 million was important to startups raising capital. My guess is that it will attract more potential companies.

SE kicked off a "test the waters" campaign for further funding.

Looks like several companies are coming back for funding or raising limits on existing campaigns.

Shark Wheel (on Wefunder) kicked off another campaign with a lower cap for the first $250K investing. I committed a few more bucks for my third investment into them. I have been intrigued by them since I first saw them on Shark tank. They have moved into quite a few additional markets from their initial skateboard wheels and have major deals with some caster and luggage companies. Now they are moving into farm equipment (wheels).
