Read MoreThe Jumpstart Our Business Startup Act (JOBS Act) was signed into law by then President Barack Obama in the spring of 2012.

It allows companies to ask for the $1 million within the span of a year, but it does come with a whole suite of obligations and restrictions. For most companies, Reg CF won’t be practical unless changes to the law improve Reg CF. However, for some companies, like Legion M, Reg CF might just be that perfect way to raise much needed capital. Particularly enticing is that Reg CF allows companies to raise money from all types of investors, including non-accredited investors.
