ADDRESSING SCAMS AND FRAUD IN CROWDFUNDING “With the fraud rates in the unregulated world of donation crowdfunding hovering around 3%, I think if the Internet's sunlight effect is allowed to work, we will find investment crowdfunding sees even lower incidents of fraud.

LEGAL – Need to have your idea and intellectual property protected. Moreover, legislation is still being finalized by the SEC, so legal expertise is essential. FINANCE – Need to know how much money you actually need, why, and where it’s going to go MARKETING – Defined as a “clear concise message to a targeted group of individuals.” Need both for successful crowdfunding SOCIAL MEDIA – Becomes one of your main means of executing your business strategy. And today, we are lucky to have a presenter that exhibits, practices and really owns all of these qualities
