The Disruption



35

Crowdfunding

TechnicalDisruptionEntrance of the internet into the private capital formation process.

Cultural Disruption

A desire to connect more meaningfully with the things

we buy, the things we do, and the things we invest in.

Two mega-trends colliding. Driving a paradigm shift in early stage capital markets

Investment Crowdfunding


Summed up...

36

The first major change in security law in 70+ years. Allows the internet to enter the

fundraising process.

Processes moved online, efficiencies realized, and incumbents with traditional cost

structures obsoleted

What it means...

Technical


This is what it looks like...

37

Technical


Nearly all categories disrupted by the internet...

38

Except fundraising.

Technical


A fundamentally more efficient capital formation process

But it’s not just structural change driving the disruption

40

Cultural

It’s cultural.

Distrust is pervasive

Cultural


Today little alternative to public markets

42

Tomorrow individuals empowered to invest in the the companies, causes and people they believe in

Cultural


A cultural shift
