A new approach to crowdfunding.
Last year it became clear that Crowdfunding is becoming big business. With the rise of Crowdfunding platforms all over the world, it seems valuable to take a closer look at the future of the industry and the way Crowdfunding can contribute to a healthy entrepreneurial climate. In my opinion it all comes down to what all these platforms actually deliver to project owners or nascent entrepreneurs.
Last week’s blogpost “Equity or Debt?” the Next step in Crowdfunding highlighted the three fundamental forms of crowdfunding platforms:
On September 28, 2011, the city of Lisbon hosted the first international crowdfunding event in Portugal. To the 400 attendees and webcast viewers, the event introduced the concept of crowdfunding in its various forms, its potential, requirements and risks, focusing on two of the most successful cases in Europe, Symbid and Crowdcube.
Pedro Oliveira, professor in Catolica Lisbon and founder of PPL (Crowdfunding Portugal) kicked things off with a general intro to crowdfunding, followed by Korstiaan Zandvliet’s presentation of Symbid, a reference equity crowdfunding case from Holland. Symbid is an equity-based online investment platform that enables individuals to directly invest in start-ups or existing ventures in exchange for an equity stake in the company. With investments ranging from as little as €20 to as much as €2,500,000, just about anyone can invest through Symbid.

Great article
In a really exciting first in the world of crowdfunding, the Rushmore Group which runs private members’ clubs in London has become the first business ever to raise more than £1m using a crowdfunding platform. Based in the UK, Crowdcube is one of the first business finance crowdfunding platforms for businesses to raise equity finance. Crowdcube launched in 2010 as the “next generation of business investment” and offers a new way to fund start-ups and business expansion by providing budding entrepreneurs a platform to connect with ordinary people and raise venture capital.
Selecting Crowdcube for its fundraising platform, Jonathan Downey, founder and owner of the Rushmore Group, opted to use the crowdfunding model over other methods for raising capital needed to expand the business. Sensationally, the Group raised the money in the space of four weeks from 143 investors.
Founded in 2010, the industry website, Crowdsourcing.org, is a neutral organization dedicated solely to crowdsourcing and crowdfunding. As one of the most influential and credible authorities in the crowdsourcing space, Crowdsourcing.org is recognized worldwide for its intellectual capital, crowdsourcing and crowdfunding practice expertise and unbiased thought leadership.
