The Crowd Funding Bill


Startup Idol is proud to be a supporter of the Crowd Funding Bill!

  • Agora Startup Idol is proud to be a supporter of the Crowd Funding Bill (The JOBS Act) which just passed the Senate and is expected to become law soon.

  • If, by some miracle, it becomes law before, or during AgoraStartupIdol.com's first event, Startup contestants can shift their pitches from highlighting their product's benefits to broadcasting their own Crowd Funding efforts through their pitch on AgoraStartupIdol.

  • Watch these companies pitch LIVE during the tournament at AgoraStartupIdol.com. We will be selecting the Starting 64 from the votes on a LIVE webcast March 31st at 1pm PST on AgoraStartupIdol.com
