Stubbs Alderton & Markiles’ Joint Venture FlashFunders Launches Industry Standard for Online Equity Funding

Flash Funders

No-Fee Platform Connects Accredited Investors to
Innovative Startups Pursuant to the JOBS Act

SANTA MONICA, Calif.: Oct. 16, 2014 – FlashFunders today announced the launch of its no-fee, online equity funding platform at www.flashfunders.com.  FlashFunders (member FINRA/SIPC) was started by Europlay Capital Advisors, law firm Stubbs Alderton & Markiles, and co-founders Vincent Bradley and Brian Park, and was formed to help startups raise capital efficiently while also opening up access to startup investing for accredited investors.

FlashFunders’ platform helps entrepreneurs navigate complex SEC regulations and offsets costly legal fees, while giving accredited investors unprecedented access to startup investment opportunities. FlashFunders provides a turnkey solution for raising capital and a marketplace where entrepreneurs can connect directly with accredited investors across the globe.

FlashFunders ensures all investors are accredited and that all offerings are SEC-compliant and executed using FDIC-insured escrows — which are created and paid for by FlashFunders.

“We worked with FINRA over the past year to expand the scope of our broker-dealer license, allowing FlashFunders to operate an online equity funding platform in a regulated environment,” said Vincent Bradley, the co-founder of FlashFunders. “We felt it was critical to ensure our platform was compliant for both startups and investors. Online equity funding is in its infancy and seeing tremendous growth; by engaging with FINRA, we’re leading the way for how it should be done — creating an industry standard.”

“97% of the 8.5 million accredited investors in the United States currently don’t partake in startup investing,” said Mark Dyne, the chairman and founder of Europlay, a seed and early-stage investor in technology companies, as well as former Skype seed investor and board member and founder and CEO of Sega Ozisoft, Virgin Interactive Entertainment, and many others. “This is largely because they don’t have access to early stage companies. Leveraging technology and decades of combined experience in finance, venture investing, securities law and startup operations, FlashFunders provides entrepreneurs and investors a secure, SEC-compliant user experience, with e-Signature technology and document management capabilities backed by a team of FINRA-registered representatives to help ensure successful offerings on the platform.”

“FlashFunders is designed to fundamentally alter the capital-raising process,” said Brian Park, co-founder of FlashFunders. “We provide startups with a compliant, efficient and no-fee online equity funding platform to develop their business plans, publicly market their offerings and collect funding from accredited investors —saving startups thousands of dollars in legal fees. At the same time, investors on FlashFunders can purchase shares directly in startups with no transaction fees or carried interest charges.”

FlashFunders creates a safe and intuitive process that allows investors to view startup offerings and execute investments legally and properly in minutes using Flash Seed Preferred documents and e-Signature technology.

FlashFunders has created “Flash Seed Preferred,” a set of safe, balanced and transparent investment documents that have been customized to facilitate fundraising on the platform, further streamlining a process that would otherwise take months of road shows, multiple middlemen and tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees to execute.

“Unlike other equity funding portals, FlashFunders does not curate or try to pick winners, and investments are not made through LLCs or Special Purpose Vehicles,” said Scott Alderton, Managing Partner at Stubbs Alderton & Markiles, LLP. “FlashFunders provides a seamless end-to-end solution for startups raising capital with virtually no external cost, fees or investor carry. FlashFunders receives an ongoing right to invest a limited amount under the same terms as all other investors if a startup is successful in getting funded on the platform.” Stubbs Alderton & Markiles, LLP is southern California’s leading business law firm, with deep experience in providing legal services to companies including LinkedIn, Beats by Dre and Skype, among many others.

The announcement today is the first phase of FlashFunders’ rollout. Additional enhancements to the user experience will be added over time along with new tools and technologies to increase functionality and scale. Offerings from startups will be incrementally uploaded by the site’s concierge service, which assigns a live team to guide entrepreneurs through the process.

“We are educating a new generation of investors and building a more efficient roadshow for startups,” said Vincent Bradley.

About FlashFunders

A registered broker-dealer, member FINRA/SIPC, FlashFunders provides a no-fee online equity funding platform for entrepreneurs to publicly market their offerings, collect funding from accredited investors and gain access to SEC-compliant legal documents and escrow accounts to create their offerings.

SAM Preccelerator Program Company Team(You) Announces Launch

TEAM-LOGO-TREATMENT-colorStubbs Alderton & Markiles’ client and Preccelerator Program company,
Team(You), a digital incentive tool, launched in June.
http://www.teamyou.co

The web application allows teachers and staff to administer incentive programs online. Through the system students are immersed in a token economy that increases financial literacy; the digital
tracking allows personalized student-teacher interactions.

The web application replaces incentives being widely used, like paper bucks or marbles in a jar through an easy to use seating chart interface. Students earn points for academic, life, and social skills like improving test scores, class participation, and helping out other students. Data is immediately recorded and can be analyzed by students and teachers.

Early demand is highest from innovative middle school principals looking to address the dropoff in student engagement in high school. “These principals are looking for the solution to that precipitous drop at the 8th grade,” says Andrew Cheeseman, Team(You) co-founder. “This system catches the students’ attention in 6th grade and continues with them through this critical growth spurt in their physical and emotional lives.”

Team(You) is the upgrade of a system with a seventeen-year development at after-school provider Bresee Foundation. Student engagement and enrollment boomed at the after school program, along with growth in the number of points students earned. Bresee students report that the chance to earn points was the reason they came, even on days they thought to skip.

Team(You) founder Cynthia Harrington, serial entrepreneur and financial services executive, volunteered to create a points-based financial curriculum that explained how the token economy was like real life, for which she was awarded the PF Bresee Award. Over 8,000 students have learned about earning and spending in real life while they accumulated over two million points.  “These students helped to write the curriculum from their own experiences,” says Harrington. “I added financial concepts as well as questions that challenged them to critical thinking about math as well as life problems.”

Demand for such a product was evident from the beginning. “‘Why can’t we have this?’ any school leader who saw the Bresee system would inevitably ask,” says Harrington. “With that kind of demand, we had a duty to make it available.”

The time tested software system from Team(You) makes it easier for teachers to administer incentive programs that most are already using, and it offers digital tracking of important behavioral trends. The program serves students of all ages; special features are designed for particularly critical years for increasing student engagement.

About Team(You)

Team(You) is the digital tool that increases school engagement. Education is one of the last industries to cut labor costs and to increase outcomes through the innovative use of technology. Team(You)’s proven system has value to classrooms across the world, and the company is meeting the challenge to bring enterprise-level software to individual use in the classroom. Founded in 2013 by serial entrepreneur Cynthia Harrington and backed by Wall Street and tech executives, the token economy that students find fun is a powerful learning tool for financial education. The relevant lessons and real-time reporting increases engagement across the school day and facilitates Common Core. Honoring the innovation that comes from the non-profit sector, Bresee holds an ownership stake in Team(You).

About 3Ten8

3TEN8 develops software that helps mobile network operators visualize network performance, analyze subscriber behavior and optimize their wireless networks; a state-of-the-art mobile device is only as functional as its wireless network. Currently, these networks are being managed by basic and inefficient tools. As telecom engineers, we grew tired of the shortcomings of these tools, so we took matters into our hands, dared to defy the status quo and created our own solution. 3TEN8 was founded by former employees of major telecommunications and software corporations. Merging the best of these two disciplines allowed us to develop an inspired and innovative software. By converting network data into easily understood and usable information, we have made it possible for engineers and executives to make more knowledgeable decisions. Ultimately better tools leads to happier engineers, improved networks, less dropped calls, and subsequently, happier customers and increased revenue. 3TEN8 targets 80+ mobile network operators in the U.S. and 800+ worldwide.
