Thanks for posting this article. For those seeking to raise money via capital, be sure to incorporate any taxes on funding in to the business budget because the IRS may consider it income. Also, crowd-funding is competitive, so campaign design, pricing and benefits are relevant to successful funding. A low-cost peer to peer loan may be a good alternative.

Not at all. It's a whole area that requires expertise I don't have.

Susan: Is the regulation changing to the better in the United States? The Swedish company, FundedByMe, hasn't been able to enter the North America market, if I am correct. And now Kickstarter has opened in Sweden! ;)

Yes, it's opened up investing to non-investors (like you and I) rather than limiting it to accredited investors.
