Looking Back on KoreSummits in 2022

Throughout 2022, KoreConX has hosted a variety of live, educational events designed to shed light on essential topics in the private capital markets. The KoreSummit event is a leading industry event that brings together industry thought leaders to provide valuable insight for companies looking to raise capital and investors looking to explore opportunities in the private markets. This year, three virtual KoreSummits were held, offering an incredible array of topics.

 

What you need to know about the Pros and Cons of Equity Crowdfunding

 

In March, the year’s first KoreSummit covered topics related to equity crowdfunding, specifically in a franchise scenario. The event kicked off with the story of a company that was successfully utilizing Reg CF to raise capital. The event continued with discussions on how to plan the raise, what partners you’ll need, and how to build an investor base that is also excited to be brand ambassadors. And more importantly, we covered topics including legal considerations and what happens once an offering is live. 

 

How to do a Successful RegA+ for a MedTech Company

 

This year’s June KoreSummit was focused on how to do a successful RegA+ for a MedTech company. The summit began with an introduction to the process of registering a MedTech company with the SEC and then moved on to cover topics such as preparation of Form 1A, going live preparations, the importance of selling the story, and the value of a secondary market. These presentations and conversations provided attendees with a comprehensive overview of how to navigate the process successfully of raising capital for a MedTech company with RegA+.

 

Empowering Growth in Cannabis

 

The October KoreSummit was a unique, multi-day event for cannabis entrepreneurs and industry experts alike. This event was focused on this exciting new market, providing an opportunity to hear from leaders in the field, learn about best practices, and explore investment opportunities in cannabis. KoreSummit Empowering Growth was a cannabis-centric summit designed to inform attendees of the requirements, regulations, and best practices when it comes to fundraising with RegA+ and RegCF.

In the end, these events were an invaluable resource for anyone looking to learn more about how to do a successful RegA+ or Reg CF offering.

Cannabis: An Emerging Market for RegA+

Despite remaining illegal at the federal level, the idea of legalizing cannabis is continuing to gain public acceptance, especially in recent years. As of April 2021, 35 states have made medical marijuana legal, with 18 of them legalizing it recreationally. This growth has been tremendous, raising the industry’s value to over $13 billion and directly supporting 340,000 jobs. As of 2019, 67% of Americans believe that regulators should legalize marijuana, an astounding 20% increase from a decade ago.

These factors have created an excellent opportunity for companies in this space. As public perceptions continue to rise, investments in cannabis companies may become more attractive to retail and accredited investors. In 2019, cannabis companies received nearly $117 billion in investments, displaying some of the investors’ significant interest in the space. Opportunities will only continue to increase as the industry progresses. Projections show that by 2028, cannabis will be an industry worth $70.8 billion globally. In the US alone, cannabis sales in the US in 2021 alone are predicted to reach $21 billion. 

The combination of investor interest and industry valuation could mean that raising capital through exemptions like Regulation A+ could prove to be an incredible opportunity for companies and investors alike. Already, many cannabis companies are seeing success through these opportunities. Early this year, Gage Cannabis closed their Regulation A+ offering after securing $50 million in funding and adding 1,000 shareholders to their cap table. This one success is not an outlier, as other issuers have been seeing success as well. 

It will be interesting to see how the industry and investment opportunities within cannabis will expand with the upward trend of public perception. Additionally, as more states continue to legalize, more businesses will emerge, jobs will form, and investors will invest in an emerging market.

Along with our partners, KoreConX hosted a webinar on why RegA+ may be the perfect fit for companies in the cannabis space.

KoreSummit – an opportunity to learn about what is a fully compliant Security Token

Security Token – and all the technology and buzzwords that go with it – is not an easy topic. Search these terms online, and you can get lost in a labyrinth of links, manuals and definitive guides. Above all, you will find many experts that will guarantee this is the next big thing and they know all about it.

The complexity surrounding the security tokens is second only to the importance it carries in the financial world. It can indeed be the next big thing. If companies get the foundation and development of security tokens right, this has the potential to bring down the market as we know today.

Which only adds more pressure to get to the right information. Take, for instance, the thousands of ICO that emerged with the blockchain phenomena. Thousand of investors thought they were well informed and ended up victims of scams.

If you want to invest in the blockchain, by buying security tokens or offering it through your own company, you better listen to experts. That is why events such as the KoreSummit, in which renowned professionals share their insights with the public, are so important.

No wonder this is an invite-only event. This is exclusive information that you may not get elsewhere. All aspects around the new KoreToken protocol, including the KoreChain, Hyperledger Fabric, and Security Tokens will be discussed with the public.

Usually, you would pay a significant fee to access this type of information. But the KoreSummit is for free, in the same spirit of the KoreConX platform.

You can apply for the event here, and our team will review your application.

Hope we can meet there.
