A Verdant Power spokesperson adds:

Verdant Power has just launched equity crowd funding campaign to raise $1M in small dollar amounts from regular citizens. This campaign is made possible by the recent implementation of the JOBS Act, which affords average citizens the chance to get in on the ground floor of promising start-up companies. The Company is optimistic that this type of investment vehicle will democratize the corporate financing process. More on the just-launched campaign can be found here:
