CNBC Star Marcus Lemonis to Keynote Crowd Invest Summit at Los Angeles Convention Center

A Two-day Crowdfunding Conference and Expo with a Mission to Educate and bring together Accredited and Non-Accredited Investors with Startups, Issuers, and Real Estate Investment Opportunities

LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / June 6, 2017 / Crowd Invest Summit has confirmed that Marcus Lemonis, self-made billionaire and star of CNBC hit reality series “The Profit,” will speak in a Fireside Keynote Chat at the country’s biggest crowdfunding conference on September 6th & 7th in Los Angeles.

Crowd Invest Summit was developed with the vision that every American, through the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (also known as the JOBS Act), can now invest in startups and real estate. During Lemonis’ fireside chat on September 7th, he will discuss his profit and growth strategies as well as his investment strategies. Since “The Profit” first premiered, Marcus Lemonis has invested more than $50 million of his own money in the companies featured on the series.

Limited opportunities remain for Gold and Silver sponsorship categories for the event (more info here) and a limited number of discounted registration tickets available on www.CrowdInvestSummit.com with the promotional code: THEPROFIT

Equity Crowdfunding: Opportunity for All

Prior to the JOBS Act, only accredited investors – those with income of $200,000 per year individually, or $300,000 with a spouse – could legally invest in private companies. Now, for the first time in more than 80 years, anyone over 18 globally is able to invest. With a recent study by the Kauffman Foundation finding that angel investments have returned an average of 27% internal rate of return (IRR), everyday Americans have started to invest in companies to support the entrepreneurs they believe in and with hopes of generating profits.

Fund-raising companies can take advantage of the JOBS Act through various rules like Regulation CF and Reg A+ that allow them to take investments from the general public.

“We are excited to be a part of the all-star line up for this years Crowd Invest Summit,” said Jason Paltrowitz. EVP, Corporate Services for OTC Markets Group. “Reg A+ represents a huge opportunity for companies looking to attract individual investors and have those shares be freely tradable at the close of their offering.”

Everyday Americans as Investors

“Marcus Lemonis is a man of the people. He is not only self-made and willing to get his hands dirty to help businesses succeed, but on his show, we see him consistently putting his money where his mouth is,” said Alon Goren, Co-Founder of Crowd Invest Summit. “He is exactly the right person to coach up the American public on how to wisely invest.”

“Marcus Lemonis is not just a TV star – he is a rockstar investor,” said Josef Holm, Co-Founder of Crowd Invest Summit. “We have a real desire to educate everyday Americans and help them evaluate new investment opportunities made available through equity crowdfunding. No one is better suited to help that cause than Marcus Lemonis”
