So far in our guide, we’ve covered the most common forms of crowdfunding in chapter one, the benefits of rewards-based and equity-based crowdfunding in chapter two, and how to crowdfund successfully in chapter three. 

One chapter this guide is sorely missing (as you might have anticipated given the name of our company) is what equity crowdfunding even is, so let’s get right into the question on everyone’s mind: 

What Is Equity Crowdfunding? 

Equity crowdfunding allows corporations to raise capital from accredited and even non-accredited investors in exchange for a percentage of equity in the company at an amount and valuation of the company’s choosing. 

The odds of crowdfunding success are great when compared to the slim chances of successfully raising money from angel investors or venture capitalists. 

So how can you guarantee a successful crowdfunding campaign? Although there are no guarantees, what you can do is follow the blueprint of what has been successful many times over and avoid the pitfalls of the unsuccessful campaigns. 

While an unsuccessful campaign doesn’t necessarily spell ultimate failure of the idea or business, a successful campaign is a strong indicator of the potential success and benefits the future of the business or project.
