To Whom It May Concern:

I’m an angel investor in startup companies and wish to invest in crowdfunding campaigns under the proposed Title III rules. Typically, startup companies I invest in use investment funds to hire additional employees, finalize development of a technology, market a product or service, pay rent, pay for other things that are essential for them to succeed. I don’t know how many people have been hired as a result of startup companies that my colleagues and I have invested in, but I believe it’s a significant number.

I hope the SEC will issue the final JOBS ACT Title III rules as soon as possible so additional entrepreneurs can launch their businesses and hire more people.

Very truly yours,

James Brandt
