Perhaps the most eagerly awaited portion of the JOBS Act, Title III, the part of that act that actually has “crowdfunding” in its name, became live in May.

The requirements for using it are much less strict than the requirements surrounding Title IV.  Most notably, investors are maxed as to the amount they can invest, the stock you receive as an investor is NOT freely tradeable, and a company can only raise up to $1,000,000.
