Crowdfunding May Be Stalled in U.S. Senate
After the U.S. House of Representatives passed a crowdfunding bill in November, it appears that the crowdfunding concept has stalled in the U.S. Senate. Two alternative bills have been introduced in the Senate, both of which would create greater regulatory roadblocks than the House bill, substantially limiting the ability of most start-up and seed stage companies to utilize crowdfunding to raise capital. It has been reported that at the committee hearings in December, most of the testimony focused on concerns about the potential for fraud, rather than the importance of access to capital and the need for job creation. So far in January, no further action has been taken by the Senate on the crowdfunding bills.
