Invest in the businesses that make your community thrive.
Community Capital Connect is a hybrid investment platform that bridges the gap between local small businesses in need of growth capital and community-minded accredited investors. By hosting pitch nights, business tours, and due diligence workshops, the platform builds trust and transparency rarely found in traditional crowdfunding. Businesses apply through a rigorous vetting process evaluating financials, impact, and founder background. Approved campaigns are listed on the online portal where investors can review standardized deal documents, track progress, and reinvest dividends. The platform operates under Regulation Crowdfunding (Reg CF) and partners with a registered broker-dealer to ensure compliance. With a focus on place-based impact, Community Capital Connect revitalizes local economies by turning customers into investors and neighbors into stakeholders.
Post-pandemic, there is surging interest in localism and the SEC’s expanded Reg CF limits make community crowdfunding more viable, while traditional banks remain cautious with small business lending.
Engage a securities attorney to structure the platform's Reg CF compliance and broker-dealer partnership.
