BitMovio Launches Capital Raise on Netcapital Funding Portal

To help achieve its mission to democratize the entertainment content distribution and financing model, BitMovio, Inc. is raising growth capital through an offering launching today on Netcapital. The offering is primarily directed at the general public worldwide under the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s Crowdfunding rules adopted under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act.

Featured in VentureBeat, Yahoo Finance, Business Insider, Streaming Media, Bitcoinist.com and dozens of other publications, BitMovio launched its open-beta product in web, iOS and Android in the first half of 2019.  At present, BitMovio has:
