Small businesses complain that they’re starved for capital these days. And there’s a debate raging about a possible solution under consideration by Congress: equity-based crowd funding. Supporters of the idea say the Securities and Exchange Commission should lift the current limits on private-equity investments and let companies sell stakes to crowds of investors online. Millions more people would be able to buy stakes in companies, proponents say, opening up a potentially huge source of financing. The investors would also have a powerful incentive to become customers of the companies they’ve backed.
ALSO…Small businesses are facing a big choice when it comes to their Web presence. The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, or ICANN, is accepting applications for the chance to create and manage new top-level domains—the part of the Web address to the right of the dot, like «com» and «org.» People who manage websites will have the chance to acquire addresses at those new top-level domains, also known as TLDs.

In an opinion released June 14, 2016, the United States Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit ruled unanimously that Regulation A+ will stand ! Regulation A+ is the portion of the JOBS Act that allows a company to raise up to $50 million in new capital through an online “Mini-IPO.” – aka Equity Crowd Funding.
I can't believe this pre-dates the more ignorant sounding WSJ coverage from April! I like the irony in some of these pieces where many of same people who have felt regulation is choking business want regulation for activities which are accessible to people who can't afford the $2000+ just to get an account. It's got that, "Free markets…for us," feel to it, but this hasn't had as much a presumptuous feel to it, probably because they didn't cut in to the only person with actual information.
Finally a way for the little guy to get in on the action at the start … not have to wait till the big guys get all the easy money …
I am SO AMPED for this. Capital Gains, Profit Profit here we come
