Upstream is collaborating with Sara Hanks, a securities law attorney and CEO of CrowdCheck, to bring secondary market liquidity to the $1 billion equity crowdfunding market. Hanks will be focused on introducing the exchange market to equity crowdfunding issuers seeking exit-liquidity potential for investors. Hanks brings three decades of experience in the corporate and securities field to her new assignment. A pioneer and leader in the crowdfunding space, she has developed a keen legal expertise in securities law and the start-up sector.

Hanks noted that investors have been backing crowdfunded companies without a clear exit strategy for years, and Upstream’s innovative blockchain-based trading app offers a solution to the challenge. Hanks said she is looking forward to helping “usher in a future of equity crowdfunding” that offers access to a diverse investor pool along with real-time secondary trading.

“We are pleased to add Sara Hanks to our team as we welcome equity crowdfunding issuers from the U.S. and internationally to apply to list on Upstream,” says Upstream cofounder Mark Elenowitz in the article. “Sara is a pioneer and leader in the crowdfunding space. Her 30-plus years’ experience working directly with issuers on online capital formation will be invaluable in our efforts to make Upstream the select secondary market for crowdfunded securities.”
