Alternatives

When you think about investing, stocks and bonds probably spring to mind first. Maybe a mutual fund or two. But here’s a little secret savvy investors already know: there’s an entire world of alternative investments out there offering opportunities most portfolios miss.
‍
That’s where alternatives crowdfunding comes in.
‍

Let’s walk through why alternatives matter, how to start investing in them online, and how Crowdfund.co brings it all together for both investors and issuers.

Why Alternative Investments Matter

Alternatives offer something traditional investments can’t always provide: true diversification. When markets swing wildly or inflation eats away at returns, many investors look beyond stocks and bonds to balance their portfolios.

What counts as an alternative investment? Think real estate, commodities, private equity, hedge funds, collectibles, fine wine, renewable energy projects, infrastructure, litigation finance, royalties, even music rights and NFTs. If it doesn’t fall neatly into a stock, bond, or cash bucket, chances are it’s an alternative.

And space is booming. Demand for access to alternatives has exploded in recent years, especially as crowdfunding for alternative investments now puts what was once reserved for institutional investors or the ultra-wealthy within reach of individuals.

A few reasons why alternatives are worth considering:

Potential for higher returns compared to traditional investments
Low correlation to stock and bond markets, which can help manage risk
Access to emerging trends and industries before they go mainstream
Portfolio diversification beyond conventional assets

But here’s the catch: navigating this market used to be tough. Minimum investments were high, transparency was limited, and opportunities were often invite-only. That’s changing fast.

Frequently Asked Questions

General Equity Crowdfunding

What is equity crowdfunding?

Equity crowdfunding allows startups and private businesses to raise capital by selling shares to a large number of investors, typically via online platforms.

Who can invest in equity crowdfunding campaigns?

Anyone can invest, though there may be limits based on income or net worth depending on your country’s regulations.

How is equity crowdfunding different from traditional fundraising?

Unlike venture capital or angel investing, equity crowdfunding is open to the public and allows a broader base of investors to take part, often with lower minimum investments.

What kinds of businesses use equity crowdfunding?

Startups, early-stage companies, and even growth-stage businesses across industries—including tech, consumer products, real estate, and more.

What do investors get in return?

Investors receive equity (ownership) in the business, meaning they may benefit financially if the company succeeds or exits (e.g., through acquisition or IPO).

Compliance & Regulation

Is equity crowdfunding regulated?

Yes. In the U.S., equity crowdfunding is regulated under the JOBS Act (Regulation CF, Regulation A+, and Regulation D), overseen by the SEC and FINRA.

Do I need a broker-dealer or a funding portal?

If you’re raising under Regulation CF, you must use a FINRA-registered funding portal or broker-dealer. Reg A+ and Reg D allow more flexibility.

What legal documents are required to launch a campaign?

You'll need to prepare offering documents, business plans, financial statements, risk disclosures, and in many cases, audited or reviewed financials depending on the regulation used.

What are the investor limits for Regulation CF?

Investor limits vary by income and net worth but generally range from a few thousand dollars to over $100,000 annually.

How do I stay compliant post-raise?

You’ll need to file annual reports (Form C-AR for Reg CF), keep investor records, and communicate material changes per the applicable regulations.

Equity Crowdfunding Marketing

Can I advertise my campaign publicly?

Yes—but only after your Form C is filed with the SEC (for Reg CF) or once you’re qualified (Reg A+). Pre-launch “testing the waters” is also allowed with limitations.

What’s the most effective way to attract investors?

A mix of email marketing, PR, paid advertising, content creation, and social proof (e.g., early investor momentum) tends to drive the best results.

How important is video in a campaign?

Extremely. Campaigns with professional videos tend to raise significantly more—storytelling builds trust and engagement.

Can I use paid ads to promote my raise?

Yes, but ads must follow strict SEC guidelines. Be cautious with language—no promises, guarantees, or misleading ROI claims.

Do I need a marketing partner?

Unless you have in-house experience, a crowdfunding marketing agency can help optimize conversion rates, build buzz, and ensure compliance with promotional rules.
