Crowdfunding is much more than websites. It is an entire ecosystem of businesses and
investment opportunities that will transcend the Internet of Things (IoT). Where do
these opportunities exist and what do they look like? Sherwood Neiss is the founder
of the crowdfund investing movement in the USA. After launching global trade asso-
ciations and using their relationships to fosters crowdfunding ecosystems globally they
now actively invest in the "crowdfunding economy."
This session will breakdown the crowdfunding economy into a series of economic op-
portunities that will shape the future of finance and investing. Attendees will leave un-
derstanding where opportunities exist in the market and how they should be thinking
of addressing these holes.
Startups should attend to learn how crowdfunding is adapting to fit their needs and
ways to creatively promote their businesses. And investors should attend to learn what
the crowdfunding economy means to them.
Questions Answered:
1. If crowdfunding is more than websites, what are the other components?
2. How is the crowdfunding ecosystem connected and who has developed the
most innovative solutions?
3. What are we looking for as investment opportunities in the space? Why is
this a billion dollar opportunity?
