As of yesterday, Title III of the JOBS Act went into effect. Small companies now have the opportunity to offer up part of their equity to non-accredited investors, namely those of us with a net worth less than $1 million or earning less than $200,000 per year. For fans of the company in question, it’s like buying into a Kickstarter campaign but in return you get a tiny slice of equity instead of the future promise of product and a T-shirt.
