Hello Ms. White,
I hope you are well!
I'm reaching out because women led startups are not getting access to capital from VCs and Angel Investors. Only a very small percentage of the VC capital is going into women led businesses.
The JOBS ACT Title III solves this issue by allowing us to access their friends, family, users and fans to raise up to $1M. This solves access to capital for women led startups.
Statistics show that raising the first $1M is the hardest task for women led startups and Title III solves that issue. I own a small company seeking capital. My company connects African startups with American investors. You can review us here.
I aspire to initiate a crowdfunding campaign under the proposed Title III rules, and use the proceeds to pay a lawyer to facilitate patent and trademark filing for the companies I represent, and hire three full-time employees to assist with international finance research, investor recruiting/startup recruiting, and developing the backend applications on our site. This company is my dream and it's what I want to do with my life.
I hope you will help to make this a reality.
Thank you,
Maya
