I don’t know about the rest of you out there but I have not yet found a website that accurately identifies each of the states that have currently enacted, or are in some stage of enacting, an intrastate crowdfunding exemption. As a result, for everyone’s sake (including my own) I decided to scour the internet and create my own list. I will attempt to keep this list as current as possible so please bookmark this page (or better yet, subscribe to my blog).

Also, if you have any comments (e.g. I missed something, a link is broken, my hair looks great in my profile picture, etc.) please feel free to contact me.

Now, without further ado, the LIST:
