Crowdsourcing.org recently spoke with Leila Janah, CEO of Samasource, about the company’s vision and business model.

Samasource employs a dedicated workforce, managed off-shore by trained service partners that provide quality control in designated work centers. Janah describes Samasource as “a distributive work company that employs crowdsourcing principles.”

What happens when two fashion-conscious travelers see a need for change in the way the world perceives clothing? A new brand, [r]evolution apparel, which centers on the philosophy that “you can do more with less”. The brand’s first product, the Versalette, raised over $60,000, making it the most-funded fashion product in Kickstarter history.
For a few weeks earlier this year, crowdfunding and the JOBS Act was a top story in the national news media that all the pundits were discussing, debating or screaming about, depending on which personality you flavor your morning coffee with. Typically, the argument centered around the possibility for increased fraud that would follow when unaccredited investors are allowed invest in startups over the Internet.

The community on these platforms does and will continue to act as a self-policing force, the argument goes.
