What is MicroVentures

Invest in Startups | Equity Crowdfunding | MicroVentures

MicroVentures is a crowdfunding platform allowing investors to invest in start-ups at the seed stage. It is a registered broker-dealer firm that offers both Primary and Secondary offerings to its two types of investors, namely, Accredited and Non-Accredited Investors. It has been featured in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Forbes, and the Washington Post.

Accredited Investors are high net-worth investors fulfilling minimum financial requirements. MicroVentures provides early and late-stage private market investment opportunities to its accredited investors.

Registering at MicroVentures is free of cost, and one can start crowdfunding investment for as low as $100. But accredited investors must satisfy the minimum financial requirements. You can find the minimum financial requirements in the blog by Tom Taulli. There is also an upper cap to investment via crowdfunding. There are larger deals available on the platform exclusively for Accredited Investors.

Primary Offerings include investment in start-ups at the seed or late stage for an equity stake.

Secondary Offerings include trading of shares of private companies by the existing shareholders.

 

 

How Does MicroVentures Work?

 

 

MicroVentures has a team of experts who perform due diligence on the start-ups before they are made available on the platform. There are two types of investment opportunities on MicroVentures:-

Equity Crowdfunding is available to all investors, whether accredited or non-accredited. There is a list of start-ups vetted by MicroVentures after performing a Due-Diligence check. It assures that they might be successful in the long run. You can start investing in the Equity Crowdfunding platform with $100.

Secondary Trading – It means trading of shares of private companies by the existing shareholders. You can buy-sell stocks of late-stage private companies, also known as mature start-ups. However, only accredited investors can participate in secondary trading, and the minimum capital requirement is $ 50,000.

MicroVentures generates revenue by charging upfront fees from the companies looking to list on its platform for fundraising. It also charges closing charges when a deal is closed and money is raised.

It also charges fees from Accredited Investors who buy Regulation D offerings. However, Non-Accredited Investors need not pay fees for Regulation CF and Regulation A offerings. You can find prices and minimum investment requirement details in the blog by Rickie Houston.

It also provides an online course wherein it shares monthly business ideas with its community and teaches them how to start a side business for extra income. You can find more information in the blog by Elena Hudgens.

The current offering circular for GenesisAI’s current public offering pursuant to Regulation A is available by emailing the Company at invest@genesisai.io; via the Site under the “Home” heading; or accessed online here: https://www.sec.gov/edgar/browse/?CIK=1797609.


Investing in securities involves risks, and there is always the potential of losing money when you invest in securities. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Investors should carefully review the risks located in the respective offering materials for a more comprehensive discussion of risk.


During any such time that its offering circular has not been qualified by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), from time to time the Company may conduct “testing the waters” campaigns to gauge market demand from potential investors for an offering under Tier II of Regulation A of the Securities Act. No money or other consideration will be solicited, and if sent in response, it will not be accepted. No sales of securities will be made or commitment to purchase accepted until qualification of the offering circular by the SEC. An indication of interest made by a prospective investor is non-binding and involves no obligation or commitment of any kind. Any offer to buy securities may be withdrawn or revoked, without obligation or commitment of any kind, at any time before notice of its acceptance given after the qualification date. No offer to buy securities can be accepted and no part of the purchase price can be received without an offering circular that has been qualified by the SEC, which we urge prospective investors to read carefully.

For offerings that have not yet been qualified, no money or other consideration is being solicited and, if sent in response, will not be accepted. No offer to buy securities of a particular offering can be accepted, and no part of the purchase price can be received, until an offering statement filed with the SEC relating to that series has been qualified by the SEC. Any such offer may be withdrawn or revoked, without obligation or commitment of any kind, at any time before notice of acceptance given after the date of qualification by the SEC. An indication of interest involves no obligation or commitment of any kind.
