The JOBS Act has given birth to a variety of new ways for businesses of all sizes to begin crowdfunding with many “out of the box” strategies. As such, Security Token Offerings (STO) are beginning to stand out as the darling of the ball.

There are no shortcuts with creating Security Token Offerings. Companies seeking to raise money via…
