These venture capitalists and angel investors often played the role of highly selective gatekeepers\, denying countless potential business leaders the opportunity to bring their well-thought ideas to market. Much has changed.Today\, crowdfunding disrupts many of the traditional models for start-up investing. Crowdfunding provides capital for new businesses by asking the general public for donations. The system works by entrepreneurs creating websites enabling internet users to view information\, photos and promotional videos explaining why they seek funding. Instead of receiving equity in the company\, investors are often rewarded for pledging their financial support for the start-up business. Despite the incredible growth in investment revenue from crowdfunding\, it remains underutilized by businesses. This course is intended to provide accounting and other professionals with a basic understanding of the crowdfunding process to better inform their clients and colleagues about this rapidly growing platform. \nDesigned For\nAnyone in the accounting or financial services profession who seeks to understand the crowdfunding process. Or\, accounting and financial professionals who counsel individuals who own or are considering starting a business that might benefit from crowdfun \nObjectives\nUnderstand how crowdfunding platforms work Understand the different types of crowdfunding campaigns Recognize strategies for building a successful crowdfunding campaign \nMajor Subjects\nHow crowdfunding works The different types of crowdfunding programs Popular crowdfunding platforms Strategies for building a crowdfunding community Creating a crowdfunding campaign Running a crowdfunding campaign \nInstructions\nNone URL:https://sc.cpa/event/ssot420-26-surgents-crowdfunding-a-general-overview/ CATEGORIES:Self-Study Video END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260630T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260630T120000 DTSTAMP:20260406T110302 CREATED:20250605T210143Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250606T045204Z UID:10005271-1782820800-1782820800@sc.cpa SUMMARY:(SSOT445/26) Surgent's Current Developments and Best Practices for Today's CFOs and Controllers DESCRIPTION:Event Description\nIn today’s rapidly changing world\, finance professionals are required to wear many hats and are often the keys to the organization’s success.
