Devin: What do you see as your superpower?Woodie: I have a passion to get it done, and I will show up and get it done. I think that is where my strength and my superpower lie in terms of, you know, just be there, get it done, be the changemaker that you want to be. Don’t rely on others to do it. Have them help you where they’re willing to. But you need to be the source of all that change.A Real OGSherwood “Woodie” Neiss is on a short list of those who deserve serious credit for leading Congress to pass and getting then-President Barack Obama to sign the 2012 JOBS Act. He’s earned the title of Real OG in the investment crowdfunding world.Now a principal at Crowdfund Capital Advisors and a partner in Crowd Capital Ventures, he’s continuing to grow and advocate for the industry he had such a pivotal hand in creating.Woodie shared some stories about the work of getting the legislation passed. First, he recalls how the legislation came to have a provision prohibiting the sale of crowdfunded securities for twelve months even though there is no market.I remember sitting in Senator Bennett's office working with one of his staffers on how we prevent pumping and dumping. We didn't have that in there. And I, being an entrepreneur, having had that background of starting a business, funding it and exiting it, I really looked at him. I was like, “listen, these are long-term investments. Let's just put a 12 month holding period on it.” He's like “12 months.” And we wrote that down. So people all the time are like, “Well, where did the 12 months come from?” And, you know, I hear other people talking about it while the— “The regulators put it in there.”And I was like, “No, literally, it was a meeting that I was having with Andy Greene in Senator Bennett’s office. And we were like, “How do we prevent pumping and dumping?” And that's how we did it.He also shared the story of brokering the final compromise that got the bill passed.We were the the the pawns. We actually were going through Congress and we were entrepreneurs. We're not lobbyists. Not even close to it. We're not lawyers. So we don't even understand the legal frameworks under which these bills are turned into laws. But we understood that Washington operates by people sharing information, not even information that they'll share within their own parties. So we found ourselves as being this intermediary between Democrats, between Republicans, between Democrats and Republicans, between the House and the Senate. It was fascinating that people got to know us. They trusted us with the information that we were essentially bartering. And I think that's why we were able to come up with—I don't know if—you probably don't remember, but—probably nobody remembers because I was there with Jason [Best] and the bill was stalled and we realized that we needed to come up with a compromise between the Democrats and the Republicans. So, we just wrote the compromise. We sat down with the three bills that were in the Senate and we said, “Well, what are the best of both worlds and what are they trying to accomplish?” We merged that together and we went back to all three of the senators that were pushing this forward; there were two Democrats and one Republican at the time. We presented this as the commonsense compromise to investment crowdfunding. And they're like, “Well, the other party's on board?” And we just said, “Yes.” And that is what became the final framework that was in the law.Many people take credit for the passage of the JOBS Act. Woodie is undoubtedly one who deserves recognition.Woodie will speak at SuperCrowd22, providing additional data and context for understanding the practice of raising money and investing via investment crowdfunding. Superpowers for Good readers can register for the virtual conference on September 15 and 16 for half price with the code super50. ‘We Have a 100% Complete Data Set.’Since the Rose Garden signing ceremony in April of 2012, Woodie and his partners, including Jason Best, have developed a unique data set. They have tracked every transaction completed under the JOBS Act framework.Spooled up well before transactions legitimately using the framework began, Crowdfund Capital Advisors has a detailed record of every transaction. Every single one. “We have a 100% complete data set.”Perhaps nothing puts a point on this so precisely as Woodie’s humble brag, “We provide reports that the SEC purchases from us, ‘The State of the Industry.’”Let’s look at a few highlights Woodie shared.“There have been 5,000 companies across all 50 states that have gone out to raise money online, mainly from their customers,” Woodie says. “But you can do it from your social network, your fans and your followers as well. These are not only startups, but they are revenue-generating businesses.”“There have been over one and a half million investors that have invested in these. They’ve put $1.3 billion into these startups,” he says. (If he were sitting over my shoulder now, he’d say the number has risen to $1.4 billion since we recorded this interview last month.)Crowdfunding isn’t just about making investors and entrepreneurs wealthy. “These startups and small businesses have supported over 220,000 jobs,” Woodie says.Entrepreneurs and investors across the country, not just in New York and Silicon Valley, are participating. Companies based in 5,500 cities have successfully issued securities under the new rules.“The success rate when it comes to investment crowdfunding is 66.82 percent right now,” Woodie says. “So, that means 66 percent of all the companies out there are successful in the round.”“If you go to VC, your chance of getting that capital is about 2 percent,” he says by contrast. “So, why waste your time and energy and money, when you can go online and have a higher chance of success with your community, your customers, your crowd?” “I want to be clear, there’s a ton of risk in this. Many of these companies will fail over time,” Woodie says. “There are good ones in there, and they will succeed. These people that invest in them early will have phenomenal returns.”“The average valuations have crept up over time. In the beginning, it was close to between $5 and $10 million,” Woodie says. “Right now, it’s about $16.7 [million].”Get every episode in your inbox!Positive Results for Women and Minorities“Women and minorities are some of the biggest beneficiaries, and they actually have a higher success rate than the overall industry average,” Woodie says.Measuring the difference is more challenging than it might seem at first blush. “You have a lot of offerings that are put together by women and minority founders,” he says. “It could be just a woman on the founding team. It could be all women. It could be a minority on the founding team. It could be all minorities. It could be all minority women. There’s a whole blend of how these offerings look in terms of their management teams.”Woodie points out that “at least 50 percent of the offerings now have at least one woman or minority on the founding team.”“The women and minority offerings just seem to do better because their community looks like them and invests in them because they believe in them and they understand the challenges that they face as entrepreneurs in the capital markets,” he says.Woodie leverages his superpower in all his work, taking personal responsibility for change.How to Develop Personal Responsibility for Change As a SuperpowerWoodie credits his father with teaching him this vital principle to initiate the change you want to see in the world. The thoughts and memories of his father, who passed away just three weeks before our interview, were fresh and a bit raw.Woodie’s dad was a powerful role model. “My father’s father was a painter,” Woodie says. “My father went to the military. He put himself through school. He had got two PhDs and an MD. He went on to run pharmaceutical companies.”Woodie reflected on what he learned from his dad. “It’s the lessons of showing up. It’s not going to happen on its own. It’s not going to happen by itself. You need to be the changemaker if you want it to happen,” he recalls. “That’s what lives in me, which is this passion to be like, ‘Well, if something’s going to happen, I’m going to be the one that needs to make it happen.’”Woodie offers some advice for developing this capacity for changemaking.“I would tell them to start small,” he says, referring to his message for you.“I’ll be the first to tell you I try, I fail, but try again and fail,” Woodie says. “Then you keep on trying until you succeed. It’s about picking little things to do and accomplishing that. Because what it does is, well, it gets something done, but it gets you moving in the right direction, and you feel good about it.”He offers a second, powerful insight for getting big projects done.“Take any task you have and break it down into 100 tasks,” he says. “Every day, complete 1 percent of that [list]. In 100 days, you will have that task complete.”Finally, he calls out the mutual support he shares with his wife, identifying that as an essential part of his superpower.I look over at my spouse, and I talk about what we accomplished, and we commend each other. I think that's really important. If you don't have that support network yourself, find someone else that can go, “I am proud of you. Way to go.” Because you can't just rely on yourself for this; you need other people to be your champion as well. That type of positive reinforcement helps you come back in the morning, the next day, add a few more things to the list and get it done.Woodie concludes with this summary, “Start small. Check off those boxes. Big things will come.”If you follow Woodie’s example and advice, you can develop taking personal responsibility for change as a superpower that enables you to do more good.

If there is any one question I get asked more than any other from professionals in the social sector, it is some variation of this: “How do I raise money for my organization, cause or program?” And, there is usually a quick follow up that goes something like, “and, how do I raise money sustainably?” Fundraising, marketing, business development, sales… call it what you want… will always be the greatest problem for the social sector. The reason I know this is because it remains the greatest problem for any business, regardless of the sector. Getting individuals to part with their hard earned cash is never an easy prospect, whether your talking about a new pair of shoes, supporting Syrian refugees or anything in-between. There are many good answers to this question, depending upon a number of variables, and there are actually a ton of fantastic success stories in the social sector. But today’s episode is focused on crowdfunding and how this powerful platform can be used as a part of a successful strategy within the social sector. My guest for the 157th Terms of Reference Podcast, Jason Best, is more than an expert on crowdfunding - he actually is one of the original authors of what eventually became the Jobs Act in the United States, a law that fundamentally changed the investment landscape by allowing crowdfunding for equity, or an ownership stake of a company. Jason is a Co-Founder of CrowdFund Capital Advisors and a Venture Partner at Vectr Ventures. He works with governments and policy makers about how to make online fundraising available, with financial technology innovators about how to create solutions that respond to opportunities created by new policies and regulations and with large institutions and corporations to understand the market shift brought about by crowdfunding. This is an important episode where Jason and I talk about the 460 day campaign to get the Jobs Act signed into law, and how crowdfunding has fundamentally shifted how the social sector should think about fundraising now, and for the future.

On April 4, 2012, President Obama signed the JOBS Act, authorizing a variety of significant changes to securities laws, including the enabling legislation for crowdfunding under Title III of the Act. Two-and-one-half years later, the rules to implement the law remain in draft form, pending action by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the SEC. Ron Miller, CEO and founder of an equity crowdfunding site focused on operating under the rules of Title III of the JOBS Act called StartEngine, has launched a grassroots effort to pressure the SEC to issue final rules under the act. The campaign features the hashtag #VoteOnCrowdfunding for use on social media. Sara Hanks, a securities lawyer, launched a site, CrowdCheck, to provide regulatory support services to investment crowdfunding portals under the JOBS Act. She believes the industry is ready to comply with reasonable SEC rules. Jason Best, an entrepreneur who thought there ought to be a better way to raise money for startups, was one of the primary leaders in the passage of the JOBS Act and was recognized by the White House with an invitation to the JOBS Act signing ceremony in the White House Rose Garden. He is eager to see the central feature of the legislation he lobbied to pass be implemented. Greg Parker is an entrepreneur who launched a crowdfunding service called IndieCrowdFunder.com for independent Hollywood film production. Constrained today to fundraising via other exemptions from registration, he is also eager to see the rules implemented.
