VANCOUVER, August 22, 2019 – Market Jar Media Inc. (“Market Jar”) is pleased to announce the launch of SmallCapFunding.com (“SmallCapFunding”), an equity crowdfunding portal that connects startup companies with investors in British Columbia, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.[1]
With a focus on providing non-accredited investors with extraordinary opportunities, SmallCapFunding connects seed-stage startup companies looking to raise up to $250,000. SmallCapFunding provides funding portal access to businesses and investors to navigate and participate in new equity crowdfunding rules within the Canadian capital-raising ecosystem.

SmallCapFunding provides the details about each investment opportunity, including the company’s name, description, the amount of funds the startup is looking to raise and the length of the campaign.
