If permitted by the law if and when it does pass, I would start a portal that co-invests in EVERY startup that is presented for crowdfunding through the portal. As an investor there is no better indication of legitimacy than when the sponsor has money in the deal. Then if and when your portfolio companies have success you have a real track record to build on and grow your portal.

That's unfortunately illegal. We aren't allowed to have any financial interest in any company on our site.

"Illegal"? They just passed the law and regs haven't been written yet. That's why I stated "if permitted by law" - I don't think there is "law" yet.
