FORBES ON CROWDFUNDING.

FORBES ON CROWDFUNDING.

For investors, crowdfunding means less risky, smaller dollar investments in projects they care about. For entrepreneurs, crowdfunding is a better alternative to traditional investment capital that improves the likelihood of securing the capital required to stay in business.
When we start to think beyond consumer products like new bike seats, we see other possibilities that impact other industries like real estate, startups, and even alternative energy.
To learn more about these possibilities, I did a brief interview with Nav Athwal, CEO of RealtyShares. He discussed his thoughts on how crowdfunding will affect the future of real estate investing. His Silicon Valley startup is thinking about the problem in the right way. Hopefully, his insights will help investors and other financial services entrepreneurs interested in crowdfunding
