Over the past few years, most of us have had to innovate in one way or another in order make it through the market crash. People have had to change career paths, organizations have had to change product development direction. Even our government leadership has seen the need to innovate and focus more on the entrepreneurs and innovators. If we as a culture have learned anything from the crash, it is that we all must constantly change and reinvent ourselves in order to grow. We must innovate. But how can we achieve this? How can we change our businesses when we can barely get through today’s task list?

The changes to the law have created a great deal of hype with many claiming crowdfunding to be the solution to cash-strapped startups woes. While the bill does give promising startups a new way to raise equity, it also increases the competition for investor attention.
