CircleUp connects retailers with investors and investors with equity

In the last two years, CircleUp has helped 40 companies raise $40m. The hook? A crowdsourcing platform that matches investors with retailers. Backers don't get a product, app, or software. They get actual equity in the business -- and a significant return on investment. Founder Ryan Caldbeck sat down with Jason at LAUNCH Beacon, a summit on the future of retail.
