The online capital markets continue to adapt, and the story this fall is one of quiet strength. Founders are staying active. Investors are still leaning in. Community-backed capital is doing what it was built to do: keep moving forward, even in uncertain times. As year-end approaches, momentum remains strong. The crowdfunding market isn't slowing down. It’s evolving.

Planning to move from Reg CF to Reg A? It might not be as simple as it looks. Many founders don’t realize how timing and structure can trigger SEC scrutiny.

This is one you’ll want to read before structuring your next raise. 👉 https://lnkd.in/eAWT9s-B

If your strategy depends on perfect timing, it’s time to rethink the structure. When things slow down in Washington, it’s a reminder of how important structure really is. The companies that keep moving aren’t lucky. They’ve planned for it. They’ve built capital strategies that can adapt when the system doesn’t. Is your structure built for resilience?

The Reg CF market continues to show steady engagement from both founders and investors, with growth across valuations, active raises, and capital committed. Momentum like this highlights how online capital formation has become a reliable path for companies at all stages to access investment, and for investors to discover new opportunities with transparency and confidence. As more issuers and investors enter the space, data remains key to understanding where the market is heading next. What trends are you seeing in your corner of the ecosystem?

Big changes could be coming for public companies. Our founder, Sara Hanks, shares her expert take on the renewed push to move from quarterly to semi-annual reporting and why it could actually happen this time. If you're a smaller public company, you’ll want to read what this could mean for you. 👉 Read her latest insights: https://lnkd.in/ey-5vWNY

When oversight breaks down, everyone pays the price. The SEC’s recent $112M enforcement action is a clear reminder of what can happen when due diligence is absent and disclosures go unchecked. Fraud may not always be preventable, but with proper oversight, it's often detectable. Building investor trust starts with getting the facts right.

Could quarterly reporting become optional? The SEC might let public companies switch to semi-annual reporting, and it could happen faster than expected. What would that mean for smaller registrants? We break it down in our latest blog. Read it here: https://lnkd.in/ey-5vWNY
