It’s Closer to Happening-Equity Based Crowdfunding (i.e. People Can Invest in Your Sketch Group)
As recently reported by The Hollywood Reporter, crowdfunding, more commonly known by such popular sites as Kickstarter or Indiegogo, is about to mark a new milestone by being able to offer equity in a project instead of stickers, hugs, t-shirts, voicemail greeting by a comedian, etc.
The website Early Shares is evidence of this as they have already entered agreements with media entities to fund projects via ‘equity crowdfunding’. So, all those wishing to making a comedy album, special, podcast, sketch group, movie, novel, production company, series of novelty t-shirts, look to attempt to get investors for such projects possibly next year.
