Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) February 24, 2014

On February 21, 2014, host Michelle Matthews of Growth Matters on Business RadioX® welcomed to the studio David Lilenfeld with SterlingFunder and Mark Shekerow with CareGiver Communications for a tutorial on crowdfunding.

David Lilenfeld is Co-Founder and CEO of SterlingFunder, an Atlanta-based equity and debt crowdfunding portal with an innovative approach to connecting startup companies seeking capital with qualified investors. According to Lilenfeld, “Our mission is to be the catalyst for business growth, economic development and job creation through the power of the crowd. We provide the platform, education and tools to shift the power from Wall Street to Main Street.”

As a lawyer, investor and entrepreneur, Lilenfeld recognizes the enormous effect crowdfunding will have on businesses and individual investors across the country and eventually the world. Explained Lilenfeld, “When The JOBS Act – which makes equity-based crowdfunding legal in the United States – became law, I began planning a way to help match passionate, smart entrepreneurs with intelligent, growth-minded investors in a union that has been unduly burdensome to make before crowdfunding.”

Also in the studio was Mark Shekerow, CEO at CareGiver Communications, Inc., an organization that provides information that helps improve the lives of caregivers and those that they care for. They provide a low cost way for local and national companies that provide goods and services for the 60 million caregivers nationwide to reach this $ 300 billion market. According to Shekerow, “We have evolved from a regional magazine based business to a multi-media company with emphasis on the internet, internet radio, TV and a national publication.”

As part of that growth, Shakerow explained, “We’ve been working on the business for a number of years, and we’re to a point where we need additional funding to grow, and that’s why we’re pursuing crowdfunding.”

On December 12, 2013, co-hosts Lee Kantor and Stone Payton of BusinessRadioX®’s Atlanta Business Radio welcomed to the studio the co-founders of GROUNDFLOOR, Brian Dally and Nick Bhargava.

GROUNDFLOOR is a real estate crowdfunding startup that is revolutionizing the financing of real estate development projects, to the benefit of developers, savers and investors. Based in the North Carolina Triangle, GROUNDFLOOR champions democracy, transparency, speed, efficiency and freedom as the path to building a new kind of finance. The innovative GROUNDFLOOR platform reduces dependence upon large financial institutions and accredited investors, while making direct real estate investing a viable addition to any savings and investment portfolio.

In November of this year, GROUNDFLOOR announced its launch into the Atlanta market with the opening of its pilot development project in Midtown. According to Brian Dally, co-founder of GROUNDFLOOR, “We are taking advantage of Georgia’s innovative securities laws and the Invest Georgia Exemption to make real estate investing accessible to all, regardless of net worth or income.”

As CEO, Dally is responsible for marketing as well as setting long term direction and goals for the company. Dally has 15 years of disruptive technology startup experience in Silicon Valley, Boston, London and the North Carolina Triangle region.

Co-founder Nick Bhargava leads product development and is responsible for regulatory strategy. Explained Bhargava, “Our first product is a tested and true type of savings vehicle with a new and important twist, available to anyone with $ 100 to lend.”

GROUNDFLOOR’s pilot project seeks to raise a total of $ 300,000 to fund two loans that will be used to refinance, renovate and lease a Midtown Atlanta residential development and will be secured by the property until repaid with interest within a one-year term. Throughout the life of the loans, investors will have access to confidential reports from the borrower on milestone achievements including construction progress and leasing performance.

To learn more about GROUNDFLOOR, tune in to this episode of Atlanta Business Radio.
