Entrepreneurs may soon be able to reach a new pool of potential investors through crowdfunding websites. On October 23, 2013, the SEC issued proposed rules under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”) to permit the offering and sale of securities through crowdfunding. (http://www.sec.gov/rules/proposed/2013/33-9470.pdf). Crowdfunding, an evolving method of raising funds online, has helped generate financial support for a wide range of projects through sites like Kickstarter (www.kickstarter.com). But so far, the securities laws have limited crowdfunding to a donation-based model.
Letters of intent (“LOI”) play an important role in the negotiation of many private transactions. An LOI documents an agreement in principle on key terms of a deal. It can evidence parties’ serious intent and provide the framework for a definitive agreement, but is usually “non-binding” – it does not legally require the parties to finalize the deal on any certain terms or even at all.
