This makes complete sense and makes you wonder why a company like this doesn’t already exist. Seems like this company could help startups and unicorns (need scale) that are stuck due to broken pricing and unlock serious value


It's called the power rule (Pareto distribution) and it's not news


Silly if you think they are mutually exclusive


Note people, these laws are not yet in effect and are still liable to change. Equity Crowdfunding for the public (non-accredited investors) is ILLEGAL, unless done through a intrastate crowdfunding exemption.


Accredify - Miami (remote possible to start) - CTO

Accredify is the leading verifier for Accredited (and soon non-accredited) investors based on new SEC regulations as presented in the JOBS Act.

We are looking for a CTO to build out our API's and develop a dashboard to manage your equity crowdfunding investments online. This is an opportunity to architect an amazing platform that requires working with the major equity crowdfunding portals that exist today.

We are a fun, early stage startup looking for someone with experience in REST/JSON, C, Javascript, Python, SQL, Ruby.

Above market salary and equity stake within the company guaranteed, as well as lovely weather and good looking people, because hey, it's Miami!

Since your using Euros, check out equity crowdfunding. Crowdcube.com lets you invest in startups. My recommendation is you take that 10k and put into into 10 different investments and hope that one is a banger.


hi and thanks for this. One question, this seems to be oriented towards people living and working in the UK (the SEIS program and the fact that they're using pounds everywhere). Do you know if this platform also works for people outside the UK?


thanks for this!


A/B test it and let the data decide


Always charge and set your price high unless your running a freemium model. Its much easier to lower your price than raise it. And if your customers pay and are upset you can always refund them.


Fair point but the point has actually been addressed. The federal government will take no direct intervention in the two states so long as the proposed state laws are followed.


> The federal government will take no direct intervention in the two states so long as the proposed state laws are followed.

No such commitment has been made (not that such a commitment would be enforceable in the first place, or a useful guide to future administration's attitudes, so long as the federal statutes are on the books), what has been circulated is a non-binding memo providing guidance to US Attorney's on DoJ priorities regarding marijuana cases in those states. Note that this administration's Department of Justice previously circulated a similar memo with regard to states that had legalized marijuana for medical purposes, and US Attorneys in those states subsequently undertook enforcement actions (both criminal charges and forfeiture actions) against state-legal dispensaries, and their landlords, in those states -- note that this includes the current US Attorney in Colorado, who prosecuted state-legal dispensaries when that state had legalized marijuana only for medical purposes.

And note that the guidance expressly includes it remaining a priority to prosecute marijuana offenses to the extent that prosecution is useful to prevent drugged driving and the exacerbation of other adverse public health consequences associated with marijuana use, or where officials feel that they are being marketed (not merely sold) to minors, among other cases. This, even within the wording of the guidance, provides a pretty broad opening for prosecuting state-legal activities.


And that could change at the drop of a hat when a new president steps in - it's simply too risky a business proposition.


Sounds like a good time to lay groundwork and draw up plans for investors and mabe run a test business in Colorado without burning too much money. If it then swings in your favour you are early for the rush, if not you can ditch. Everything is a risk.
