Crowdfunding: Things To Consider | Curation Revolution | Scoop.it

Crowdfunding may soon be a reality in the United States, giving entrepreneurs and would-be mom-and-pop startup investors reason for celebration.

And make no mistake about it: crowdfunding could be one of the most significant changes to hit the startup world in a long time, providing entrepreneurs with a much larger market in which to raise capital for their companies.

 

**** It would be great if we could create self sustaining and somewhat altruistic funding (crazy I know but probably profitable in this new age we live in). It feels like some fundemental pillars of capitalism are shifting. The idea that self interest, no matter how brutal, wins is already proven silly. In the age of blogs heard round the world "brutal" isn't a great marketing strategy (lol).

 

The next idea is altruism or what Robert Wright calls "NonZero" is in fact the underpinning of a new world order, a new world order slouching toward a Kurzweilian Singularity...or something. Marty
