This is really cute. As a self-diagnosed crazy bird person, I appreciate seeing educational resources like this for folks interested in being bird owners.

Nope, you're not alone. I grew up in Upstate New York and I also enjoy precipitation, wintertime, and early evenings.

I disagree with the premise that the asset class as a whole is bad. At the seed stage you're looking at returns of 50-5000x if you "win" so there's more margin of error in the 1/10…

The JOBS Act _does_ cap the amount people can invest per year. It's 5% of your income or net worth across all platforms (whichever is greater). If you make more than $100k the limi…

Reg A+ (what was just voted on) is probably not going to be a good fit for you, since you're required to get approval from the SEC and need to periodically file audited financial s…

It's great that the SEC is moving forward with implementing the JOBS Act, but sadly what the SEC voted on isn't a good fit for startups and small businesses. It's more of an "IPO-l…
