Three big things for finance ++

1.  Crowdfunding and similar market places enable effective investment and lending models for all kind of investors, companies and assets

2.  Market places enable new co-investment and co-lending models, i.e. get many kind of investors and investment models to work together

3.  ‘Platforms’ can also ‘automated’ a fund, i.e. investors don’t always have to pay for fund management fees, when a platform with investment criteria and co-investing models can do the same (a kind of index fund)

Do we need banks to transfer money?

What is the role of investment banks in the future?

Why we pay for brokers, if we can find deals ourselves?

Are all fund managers value for money or could we automate their work?
