MicroVentures was one of the financial industry's first organizations to merge crowdfunding with the venture capital industry in the U.S. The Austin, Texas-based company provides an opportunity for individual investors, both accredited and non-accredited, to invest in early-stage and secondary private companies alongside venture capitalists, often at the same or similar terms. In November 2016, MicroVentures publically launched its funding portal that connects non-accredited investors with regulation crowdfunding opportunities made available through Title III of the JOBS Act.
