CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. To whom it may concern: I am an individual investor on the StartEngine crowdfunding platform. StartEngine helps small private businesses grow by gathering money from individual investors. StartEngine is raising capital for itself through a Tier 2 Regulation A campaign. I would like the ability to trade these shares in a secondary market place. Doing so would allow individual investors like myself the opportunity to access capital via trading shares of companies in a crowdfunding market looking for additional funding. I think this rule would be an excellent opportunit to create another capital market for investors around the globe to invest in. Please provide a federal preemption for Secondary sales of a Tier 2 Regulation A or Regulation Crowdfunding raise so investors from any state, like myself, can trade our shares. By so doing, you will allow smaller firms have the ability to attract capital to grow their business and empower individual investors everywhere. Thank you for reading my letter. Sincerely, Aaron Koral ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us."
