American crowdfunding platform, Seedrs, has confirmed that it will launch in America after the US Government passed a new law yesterday that makes it legal for anyone, not just accredited investors, to back equity crowdfunding campaigns in return for equity. Seedrs allows anyone to invest as little as £10 in businesses in return for a stake of that company. Seedrs stated in a press release yesterday that it will launch a beta version of its platform in the US “within weeks.” Over 270 deals have been funded on Seedrs to date, with businesses raising a combined £3.5m on average each month.
