“On May 16 at the first event of our Title III Celebration Series, we encourage everyone to join NextGen in congratulating and recognizing two of the initial companies that have registered with the SEC as Title III platforms, SeedInvest and StartEngine. Title III is a seminal moment for the crowdfunding industry, and we look forward to working with all the platform companies who will be hosting Title III offerings to help prospective investors discover the companies trying to raise funding in this way.”
