In a world where new trends appear by the second and the average attention span is at an all-time low, it is hard to tell revolutionary innovation from the mundane. Crowdfunding, originally an alternative means of finance for aspiring entrepreneurs, has transcended the world of finance and is fast reshaping many other aspects of our lives.

No longer the sole purview of entrepreneurs, many corporations have begun to adopt and adapt crowdfunding to utilize their crowd assets. Leveraging the power of the crowd and the concept of community, crowdfunding transforms processes such as marketing, innovation, sales, intrapreneurship, market validation, customer engagement and more, giving any enterprise a key advantage in tomorrow’s market.

Crowdfunding: The Corporate Era is the first book to examine how businesses can and are using crowdfunding to radically improve the way they work. With a variety of case studies and insider views, from Chrysler to IBM, it is essential reading for all corporates, from midsize to multinational.

"The Crowdfunding Revolution" - A New Book by Kevin Lawton and Dan Marom

This past summer I had the pleasure of chatting with two brilliant guys, Kevin Lawton (contributing writer to VentureBeat) and Dan Marom (PhD candidate in Finance at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem).  They asked if they could interview me for their upcoming book called "The Crowdfunding Revolution".  We were honored to contribute quotes, concepts, and are own unique takes on how crowdfunding is changing the world.  Now this book is being released to the world - and we recommend it highly to anyone who is fascinated by this new methodology for funding projects and endeavors.

Here is the Editorial Review from Amazon-

"Deep and intertwined in our humanity, is a need to support and feel involvement in the kinds of projects and companies which we care about. Until the recent crowdfunding phenomena emerged, our more centralized and intermediated capital formation and funding mechanisms scarcely recognized the social power of crowds which form affinities around any kind of mission. Crowdfunding is a natural systemic response to fill this gap, and an expression of our collective human will. It is perhaps, one of the most powerful developments in our modern-day socio-economics, and promises both to transform the capital formation landscape and to offer an avenue for a creative and intellectual re-birth. Whether funding sports-car racers, startup companies, indie movies, fashion, scientific research, or community projects -- crowdfunding is already well under way, changing not only the way that we fund efforts, but the way we interact and support them. It is in the most simplistic terms, social networking meets venture financing. And a number of people in venture financing are now getting involved it.

This is a deep and broad look at the history of finance that got us here, the present day zeitgeist of crowdfunding and its associated social networking & group dynamics, and a visionary look into the future and greater empowerment of crowdfunding. Join us on this intellectual discovery. Be part of the Crowdfunding Revolution!"

Much thanks to Dan and Kevin for putting these insights and discoveries together in a wonderful read - RocketHub is excited to help pioneer this new frontier.
