[sudo-crowd] Interim Form for Crowd-funding Portals - FINRA

[Eddan Katz]

FINRA - the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority - is the non-profit that does the accreditation of investors. In order to be a crowdfunding portal, an entity needs to be registered with them.
I am filling out the Interim form as expression of interest and will post the text of the application to the Sudo wiki.


http://www.finra.org/Industry/Issues/Crowdfunding/ - The FINRA page for crowdfunding.
> FINRA invites prospective crowdfunding portals to voluntarily file an interim funding portal form.
> 
>  
> If you intend to act as a funding portal under the JOBS Act, you may voluntarily submit this form to inform us about your future funding portal business. Your filing will help us to develop rules that reflect the funding portal community and its business. FINRA will treat the information that you file on the interim form as confidential.
> 
>  
> Note: Filing of this interim form will not entitle you to FINRA membership. We will make membership available to funding portals after the SEC adopts funding portal rules and approves FINRA's funding portal rules.
> 
>  
> Once funding portal rules are in place, FINRA will issue a final funding portal application that will be necessary for you to file to become a FINRA member. In applying for membership, you will not be bound by the responses you provided on this interim funding portal form.
> 
>  
> In addition to the information we request on the interim form, you may provide any additional information or documents that you believe would be helpful.
