What entry-level positions are there in this field that an undergraduate college student might consider?
Sure. The equity crowdfunding portals, such as platforms like StartEngine, Wefunder, Republic, and Netcapital, are always hiring and have entry-level positions. Marketing agencies often have internships and positions in writing, design, and account management.
If you express an interest and show some understanding of the industry, your knowledge will really stand out. This is especially true since the industry is new, so any insight you have can make a big difference. You can find a role within this space.
I believe the growth potential is massive. Projections for where things will be in five or ten years are exponentially higher compared to where they are today. So, I think there's a lot of opportunity.
Also, in the world of startups, the companies issuing shares on these platforms are always looking for more team members. You could probably get a higher-level job title there. You may have to get creative around compensation, owner shares, and other types of creative comp packages. But I definitely believe there's a lot of opportunity.
