B.O.R.N. Equity Crowdfunding: Democratizing company ownership: How an ordinary person can become a company owner and receive a passive income.Equity Crowdfunding is a new way to invest in either new ventures, or small businesses that are expanding and requires money for the expansion.
The public and investors contribute to worthy business causes in exchange for equity shares in the company.
Raising capital alongside multiple sources reduces the investment risk to individual investors and through social media campaigns, the businesses stay in touch with their audience and keep them informed about the progress of the venture.
What makes this platform unique?This platform is closely linked to the B.O.R.N. Initiative (Build Our Rainbow Nation). The initiatives will receive support during both the startup phase as well as the growth phase in the company in exchange for a portion of equity share in the company.
We have a vested interest in the success and growth of your company. Your success is our success!
