Indiegogo is part of the old guard in the crowdfunding space, at the ripe old age of four. The company says it's "the world's largest global funding platform."
Campaigners can raise cash for pretty much anything they want. Past projects range from a woman's fundraising campaign to pay for in-vitro fertilization to partial funding for the movie Bully, which was later picked up by the Weinstein Company.
In a rather meta move, back in 2009 Indiegogo had a campaign called "Crowdfunding Campaign to Change Crowdfunding Law" -- seeking changes similar to those the JOBS Act provides.
Still, founder Slava Rubin isn't sure that Indiegogo will get into the equity game: "We've been a part of the [JOBS Act] process since the beginning, and we'll continue to be involved. But we'll want to review everything as it plays out."
The new act promises to help small firms make investors out of everyday folks with fewer regulatory burdens.
