Description: CRYPTO, CROWDFUNDING & OTHER CRAZY CONCEPTS - 2021 Series
Episode #2: Crowdfinance-101
July 29, 2021 at 2:00 PM CST
What is the “crowd” in Crowdfinance? What does the crowd thus buy and by what means and modes? And why should the crowd do this rather than put its money to work otherwise? What are the old (and continuing) modes for marketing and selling private securities? What is it like to purchase private securities from on-line portals? How are risks of fraud and mistake allocated there? Do on-line portals help get the rest of us in on unicorns in utero? How are equity securities purchased by the crowd turned into money? Is there a secondary market for private securities? Should ICOs be understood as crowdfinance by other means?
This webinar is delivered in Plain English, understandable to you even if you do not have a background in the subject. It brings you into an engaging, even sometimes humorous, conversation designed to entertain as it teaches. And, it is specifically designed to be viewed as a stand-alone webinar, meaning that you do not have to view the other webinars in the series to get a lot out of it.

Karl M. Sjogren, Author, The Fairshare Model
From 1996 to early 2001, I was CEO and co-founder of a company, Fairshare, that was a front-runner for the modern concept of crowdfunding. That experience, together with what I’ve learned as a consultant, provides the foundation for the book I’m working on, The Fairshare Model.
Prior to moving to the San Francisco Bay area in 1983, I lived and worked in for established manufacturing companies in St. Louis, Chicago and the Detroit area, where I grew up.
