Entrepreneur-in-Residence

TORONTO, ON Jan 31, 2014 – The National Crowdfunding Association of Canada (NCFA Canada) today announced that Jeff Musson, President of Dynamite Network has joined the Association’s Board of Advisors.

Jeff Musson is an accomplished entrepreneur with 10 years experience in achieving corporate goals.   President of Dynamitenetwork.com, a leading software development company, Jeff is responsible for leading the Dynamite team to build custom websites and mobile apps for enterprise based clients.  He is also the founder of the entrepreneurial group, North of 41 who connects Tech Entrepreneurs across North America.  Currently, there are over 12,000 members located within Canada and the U.S.  Jeff continually gives back to the community through charitable work by volunteering with various organizations.  He also holds membership in the Consumer Electronics Association, Los Angeles Venture Association, Ad Club of New York City and many other industry groups.

While in its infancy, the growth and impact of equity crowdfunding is steadily advancing in Canada, the U.S. and many international jurisdictions, and is bound to have a significant impact on how small-to-midsize-businesses (SMEs) raise early rounds of seed and expansion capital resulting in a new pipeline of crowdfunded ventures.

“I’m excited at the opportunities which Crowdfunding is creating to help the overall entrepreneurial eco-system and I look forward to assisting with these opportunities in my position as a member of NCFA Canada’s Executive.” – Jeff Musson, President, Dynamite Network

On December 6, 2013, the Financial Consumer Affairs Authority (FCAA) approved Canada’s first equity crowdfunding specific exemption in the province of Saskatchewan legally permitting SMEs the ability to raise small amounts of capital (up to $300,000 annually) from non-accredited investors via online equity crowdfunding portals.

The Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) announced on December 4^th that they will publish a proposed equity crowdfunding exemption including a framework for portal registration for public comment by the end of Q1-2014.

“Jeff is a seasoned entrepreneur in residence and valuable resource to any team who has the ability to connect, execute and solve complex problems and we look forward to his immediate contributions to the Association.” – Craig Asano, Founder and Executive Director of National Crowdfunding Association of Canada
