For years, wealthy investors have had the right to invest in high-growth companies at their earliest stages. But now, in In onesome of the boldest changes to U.S. securities laws in nearly 100 years, the SEC recently gave all U.S. citizens the same access.

The revolution is called Equity Crowdfunding. At Crowdability, we believe that equity crowdfunding — where many investors contribute small amounts of capital to get new businesses off the ground — has the power to drive the economy, transform communities, and generate wealth for ordinary investors.

Crowdability provides individual investors with education, information, and insights into opportunities in this market. Our free website and email newsletter aggregate and organize deals from an ever-expanding universe of crowdfunding platforms. While our main focus is on equity crowdfunding of start-ups, we'll provide access to the full universe of securities-based opportunities — from Real Estate to Peer-to-Peer loans.

Our mission is to help protect individual investors. By educating and empowering them, we believe we can help them avoid making costly mistakes — and provide them the highest chance of success.
