Using GridShare, potential investors will be able to examine investment opportunities in various renewable energy sectors. The platform is also planning to host funding opportunities for energy efficiency initiatives and early-stage clean technology ventures.
It has received authorisation from the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) to conduct securities offerings under SEC Regulation Crowdfunding.
GridShare's chief executive officer (CEO) and co-founder Jack Jacobs said: “Raising money has been a huge impediment to the growth of the capital-intensive renewable energy industry.
“Now, with GridShare's help, a project developer or cleantech venture can tap into a new funding channel and ultimately spend less time fundraising and more time focusing on its core business.”
