Micro Cap Funding Trends: Attracting and Retaining Investors

MicroCap Funding Trends Article NIRI OC 2-6-18

How do small / micro cap / private companies attract and retain investors?

What are the communications and compliance challenges?

Many of Orange County’s most exciting companies of the next ten years are likely to be small today but growing rapidly and looking for funding. One potential funding pool, made possible by the JOBS Act, permits companies to raise money from individuals quickly and relatively inexpensively. This small but growing fund source offers private investors the opportunity to invest in the Amazons and Googles of tomorrow.

How ready are Orange County’s fast-growing businesses to take advantage of this market? Are their investor communications skills up to the task of competing against their small cap peers for this capital?

Two expert panels will provide insights and answers:
