MicroVentures offer securities-based crowdfunding, which allows companies to raise capital from a large pool of small investors. The average investment on the platform is $2,500, and the minimum investment is $100. To date, they have raised over $300 million for early- and late-stage opportunities across more than 700 investment opportunities.

 

The company also provides broker-dealer services for accredited investors, including private placement offerings and secondary market transactions.

 

They are an experienced broker-dealer and equity crowdfunding platform that raises capital for private companies from our network of accredited and non-accredited investors. They offer investment opportunities through MicroVenture Marketplace via primary and secondary offerings in special purpose vehicles or directly with issuers, as well as opportunities under Regulation Crowdfunding.

 

By investing in Regulation Crowdfunding, you're getting the best of both worlds. Companies can raise up to $5 million from accredited and non-accredited investors easily and activate an entirely new base of potential investors outside of the platform--including customers who are passionate about your product or service.

 

Companies that raise money through Regulation Crowdfunding typically have a minimum viable product and customer feedback. Companies that do a506(b) primary offering via Regulation D usually invest in Seed or Series A rounds, but these companies already generate revenue and noticeable top-line and/or user growth. These investments are only offered to our accredited investors and can't be marketed outside of our current base.

 

MicroVentures offers investment opportunities of one to five million in pre-IPO companies that are typically late-stage. These secondary offerings, 506(b) included, through Regulation D are only available to investors who meet our accredited investor criteria.

 

 

History

 

 

MicroVentures was founded in 2009 by Bill Clark, a former investment banker.

 

In 2011, MicroVentures became the first broker-dealer to offer equity-based crowdfunding investments to non-accredited investors. In 2012, the company launched its secondary market platform, which allows investors to buy and sell shares of private companies.

 

In 2015, MicroVentures raised $9 million in Series A funding from ffVC and other institutional investors.

 

 

Investors

 

 

MicroVentures investors are primarily based in the United States, but the platform is open to investors from around the world.

 

 

Broker-dealer services

 

 

MicroVentures is a registered broker-dealer, and as such, is subject to the regulations of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC).

 

The company provides a number of services for accredited investors, including private placement offerings and secondary market transactions.

 

 

Secondary offerings

 

 

In addition to primary investment opportunities, MicroVentures also offers a secondary market platform that allows investors to buy and sell shares of private companies. The platform had over 100 companies listed, including Dropbox, Pinterest, and Uber.

 

If you need help deciding which investment is best for you, MicroVentures investor relations team would be more than happy to assist. However, they are not financial advisors and cannot offer tax advice or recommendations. If you require additional support in making your decision, please contact a financial advisor.

 

 

Is MicroVentures right for you?

 

 

MicroVentures is a good option for investors who are looking to invest in early-stage companies. The minimum investment is $100, which makes it accessible to a wide range of investors. In addition, the platform offers a secondary market for investors who want to exit their investments early.

 

However, investing in early-stage companies is risky, and there is no guarantee that you will make money on your investment. Before investing, be sure to do your homework and understand the risks involved.

 

 

How does MicroVentures compare?

 

 

 

MicroVentures is one of the leading platforms for equity-based crowdfunding. The company has helped over 700 companies raise capital, and its secondary market platform allows investors to buy and sell shares of private companies.

 

MicroVentures have a few competitors including Wefunder and Netcapital. The main difference between them is the type of offerings each platform has. For example, if you are interested to invest in an AI startup, Netcapital might be a good fit as they have a few AI opportunities including GenesisAI and ChipBrain. GenesisAI is building a global AI marketplace; they are on a mission to allow everyone in the world to use the power of AI. Investing in GenesisAI might be a good idea as the AI market is expected to grow to $2.8T according to Transparency market research.

 

 

Is MicroVentures trustworthy?

 

 

MicroVentures is a registered broker-dealer, and as such, is subject to the regulations of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC). In addition, the company is a member of the National Crowdfunding Association (NCFA) and the Austin Technology Council (ATC).

 

MicroVentures is a good fit for accredited investors who are looking to invest in early-stage companies. The platform offers a number of services, including private placement offerings and secondary market transactions.

 

MicroVentures offers a variety of investment opportunities, most commonly through Regulation D offerings. These may be for investments in a special purpose vehicle (SPV), which is a fund that invests in the security indicated in the offering summary. Occasionally, an offering will be directly with the issuer. Other types of securities they offer include:

  • Preferred and Common Stock
  • Convertible Note
  • Simple Agreement for Future Equity (SAFE)
  • Fund Interests
  • Crowd Note Crowd SAFE

 

If you want to learn about the security available for a Regulation Crowdfunding offering, look at the issuer's Form C on their company filings page. If it's a Regulation D offering or only accredited investors have access to it, then find the offering summary or private placement memorandum on the investment page.

Important Information

GenesisAI Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“GenesisAI”), operates the www.genesisai.io website (the “Site”) and its subdomains. GenesisAI is not a broker-dealer or investment advisor.


You should speak with your financial advisor, accountant and/or attorney when evaluating any securities offering. Neither GenesisAI makes any recommendations or provides advice about investments, and no communication, through the Site or in any other medium, should be construed as a recommendation for any security offered on or off this investment platform. The Site may make forward-looking statements. You should not rely on these statements but should carefully evaluate the offering materials in assessing any investment opportunity, including the complete set of risk factors that are provided as part of the offering circular for your consideration.


From time to time, GenesisAI may raise funds through one or more offerings of securities conducted through the Site pursuant to a public offering exemption from federal securities registration requirements pursuant to Regulation A, under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”). 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 “Why Invest or 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. Investments such as those on the Site are speculative and involve substantial risks to consider before investing, outlined in the respective offering materials and including, but not limited to, illiquidity, lack of diversification and complete loss of capital. Key risks include, but are not limited to, limited operating history, limited diversification, risk of asset damage and lack of voting rights. Also, the adverse economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are unknown and could materially impact your investment in our securities. 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.


From time to time, GenesisAI will seek to qualify offerings of securities under Regulation A. 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.


Investment overviews presented on the Site may contain summaries of the purpose and the principal business terms of the investment opportunities. Such summaries are intended for informational purposes only and do not purport to be complete, and each is qualified in its entirety by reference to the more-detailed discussions contained in the respective offering circular filed with, and qualified by, the SEC.


GenesisAI does not offer refunds after an investment has been made. Please review the relevant offering materials and subscription documentation for more information.


An active trading market for any GenesisAI series interests may not develop or be sustained. If an active public trading market for GenesisAI securities does not develop or is not sustained, it may be difficult or impossible for you to resell your securities at any price. Even if an active market does develop, the market price could decline below the amount you paid for your securities. There is no assurance that the GenesisAI platform will provide an active market for resales of GenesisAI securities. Further, without the GenesisAI platform, it may be difficult or impossible for you to dispose of your securities. If the market develops for any GenesisAI securities, the market price of such securities could fluctuate significantly for many reasons, including reasons unrelated to performance, reasons relating to reports by industry analysts, investor perceptions or announcements by competitors regarding their own performance, as well as general economic and industry conditions.
