The California Stock Exchange Proposes Crowd Funding to Finance Fans Purchase of the Dodgers
How crowdfunding done right can light America’s entrepreneurial fire
Investing in a start-up is no longer a game of having the right connections. Just a short ten years ago, you had to have an “in” with a lawyer, an accountant, or a friend of a friend who’d give you a referral to a promising tech start-up looking to raise money. Or they would invite you to be part of a select few to invest with them.
“We take a holistic approach to guiding new business startups,” says Leonhardt. “We try to spend as much time nurturing the people as we do supporting their business models. It’s sort of a bootstrap model to get a new operation online quickly, teaching them how to raise capital—seed money is pretty important—and how to build their new business one customer at a time.

The Next Facebook will be a Crowdfunding platform
American "informal investors" put approximately $51 billion into early companies in 2010 alone (business angels, only $9.4 billion of that). But it's the size of the entire ecosystem around small companies that really drives the value of being a "Facebook of startups" -- and that's going to be an order of magnitude bigger.

THE idea of collecting cash online through a mix of patronage and prepayment sprouted informally a few years ago. Initially bands used it to raise money for studio rental and the production costs for releasing an album. But the idea took off and is now offered by a plethora of middlemen, and embraced by all manner of creative types.
