American Job Crisis Opens Door for Mid-Size Investors
San Diego, October 13, 2015 (Newswire.com) - A Jobs Act driven SEC Regulation A+ marketplace, FundAthena will bridge the mid sized company-funding gap for gender diverse businesses by raising capital through its proprietary platform transforming the conventional IPO Underwriter model to the internet.
Most competitors are focused on startups as opposed to established businesses seeking growth. “There exists a very large funding gap in the marketplace for companies positioned in between start-ups and multi-billion dollar market cap companies that have the scale for a traditional IPO,” says Turner. “By focusing on the growth segment and leveraging our proprietary system, our goal is to become the leading SPO (Simple Public Offering) platform in the marketplace.”
“FundAthena is allowing mid-stage companies to sell up to $50MM of stock to the public after registering with the SEC,” says ImaadZuberi. “This is also a huge market shift for main street investors as it’s the first time in 80 years non high-net-worth investors have had the opportunity to buy shares and own a piece of private companies. It levels the playing field for main street investors.”
“The RegA+SPO market is estimated to exceed $50 billion year invested capital by 2020. It is important that new fundraising platforms such as FundAthena pioneer this new opportunity to improve funding opportunities for gender diverse and women-run companies, says key investor and VP of Business Development, ImaadZuberi. “This company will help create jobs in America.’’
