Regulated investment crowdfunding is no longer limited to “startup equity” or “small business debt.” In this month’s free CfPA webinar, we’ll explore the novel and emerging investment structures showing up across Reg CF and Reg A+, including creator-economy revenue share offerings, music royalties, film and entertainment deals, and other non-traditional security types.

Joining us are Paul Lovejoy, a financial advisor and prolific Reg CF/Reg A+ investor; Scott Kitun, Chief Business Officer at GigaStar (a Reg CF platform enabling investors to participate in YouTube creator revenue share offerings); and Allison Miettunen, an experienced Business Consultant with a demonstrated history of working with startups in the FinTech industry.

We’ll break down how these deals work, what makes them different from traditional equity/SAFE/debt, the key diligence questions investors should ask, and what these models could mean for the next phase of the market.
