Community Public Offerings: A New Way to Engage Markets (and Investors) in Oregon
summary
Oregon legalizes the Community Public Offering in January 2015 allowing unaccredited residents to invest locally with clear limits: $250,000 cap per company and $2,500 per investor, natural persons who must be Oregon residents do the due diligence, nine companies list on hatchoregon.com on day one, entrepreneurs choose deal terms (one bakery/creamery sells 10% and pays dividends in product), the platform runs as a nonprofit and the model proves that community equity can actually raise money.
