Securex and iCrowdNewsWire announce new partnership

Equity crowdfunding is growing in the United States.

As the October timeline for the SEC© rules on Regulation D, Title III, which open the doors to SMEs raising up to $500,000, gets closer and closer, anyone in equity crowdfunding is going to have to deal with rules and regulations that will ultimately make the equity crowdfunding ecosystem more secure, transparent and attractive to investors. Today, companies using Regulation A and A+, which allow companies to raise up to $20 and $50 million respectively, require SEC© filings – and to many, these mandatory rules are something totally new.

The deal between Securex and iCrowdNewswire unites one of the largest full service SEC-registered filing agents with the crowdfunding industry’s leading corporate press release newswire, founded by a seasoned team of senior executives from leading newswires globally. In business since 1999, Securex is currently rated the 7th-most active of the top 250 filing services doing over 5,000 filings annually. iCrowdNewswire currently runs press releases for more than 1,000 campaigns per month and growing – it has become the largest crowdfunding-specific press release newswire in the industry in less than six months of operation.

“Crowdfunding is about disruption, innovation and efficiencies, and we will do the same in providing mandated filing and regulatory services to the industry,” said Hector Botero, iCrowdNewswire founder and CEO. “We realize that our services will have to include a great deal of consultation and advice to an audience that by and large is new to Securities and Exchange Commission regulations. And we intend to do this for pennies on the dollar as compared to other services built on getting huge fees from publicly listed companies.”
