Saw the statistic below in an article on how the recent SEC ruling could effect financing for small and medium businesses...
Last year it (crowdfunding) was viable enough to generate $16 billion to small businesses. When you consider all venture capital funding in the U.S. last year was about $45 billion, according to some estimates, $16 billion is a huge piece. |
If the statistic is correct and crowdfunding accounted for a third of financing, it looks like it will only grow in 2016. Will we see more businesses look to crowdfunding as a way of raising revenue in the coming year?
