In May 2016, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) enacted Title III of the JOBS Act, allowing a majority of the US population to invest in unlisted infrastructure assets for the very first time. InfraShares leverages proven technology and deep industry expertise to provide a platform for projects to raise capital from a broad base of investors who support infrastructure development.
Infrashares was formed after Brian collaborated with Morteza Farajian (Executive Director at USDOT Build America Bureau) on a research paper for the Transportation Research Board (TRB) exploring the potential application of investment crowdfunding in the financing of P3s. The paper was based on Brian’s experience as a private equity developer/investor in P3s and Morteza’s role in developing Virginia’s transportation P3 program.
