What:
|
|
|
|
Historically, the ability to raise capital through public stock
sales was limited to larger businesses, which often made it very
difficult for smaller competitors to compete. In addition, the
ability to get in on the ground floor of a huge success, such as
Facebook (News - Alert) or Groupon, was limited to insiders and large investors.
The passage of the Federal JOBS Act and state laws is changing all
of that. Crowdfunding is emerging as a significant opportunity for
start-up companies that allow individuals to invest small amounts of
money as part of a larger effort to start or grow a business. Online
crowdfunding sites have further simplified this process, however
once funds are collected, it is up to the organization in question
to acquire the talent and resources necessary to bring their idea to
life.

Paul Doyle, founder and chief executive officer of VerifyValid,
an innovative provider of electronic check payments for financial
institutions, organizations and their customers, is a true
start-up success story. However, his journey from a unique idea
for check payments to a growing payments provider took a different
route than most. Startup
Weekend brings together entrepreneurs and business
professionals to plan a successful business in a span of just 54
hours. Entrepreneurs are given 60 seconds to pitch their ideas
before the audience votes on the most promising presentations and
begins forming teams to develop the product or service. Prior to
attending Startup Weekend, Doyle had no team and no physical
product to bring to market, however over a three day period,
VerifyValid was born and has been growing ever since.
