DESCRIPTION
CLS After Work Talk zusammen mit Webilea am 23. November 2011 "Crowdfunding - Kapitalbeschaffung über das Internet" (Referent: Hasnain Khimji) Wenn die Finanzmärkte eine Krise durchlaufen, bekunden Unternehmer insbesondere in Europa Mühe, Kapital über traditionelle Kanäle zu beschaffen. Parallel dazu schwindet das Vertrauen der privaten Investoren in traditionelle Investitionsmodelle. Dies führt zu einem wachsenden Interesse an Alternativen. Crowdfunding bietet privaten Investoren eine alternative Möglichkeit, ihr Geld zu investieren. Es erlaubt ihnen, ausgesuchte Unternehmer direkt zu unterstützen und sich schon mit bescheidenen Investitionsbeträgen als Business-Angels zu engagieren.

Crowdfunding vs. Crowdsourcing
Crowdfunding: describes the collective cooperation, attention and trust by people who
network and pool their money and other resources together, usually via the
internet, to support efforts initiated by
other people or organizations.Crowdsourcing: is a distributed problem-solving and production model. In the classic use of the term, problems are broadcast to an unknown group of solvers (crowd) in the form of an open call for solutions.

Crowdfunding Trends
USA: President Obama supports Crowdfunding; Jobs Bill;Securities and Exchange Commision
(SEC) regulations update.Onlineplatforms such as kickstarter, Indi GoGo
already make a turnover of over $ 80m
EU: Various platforms are developing and as such crowdfunding is becoming a true alternative in the corporation and project funding environment
Asia: first sites have recently been launched. However it is much more challenging to set up companies as the regulatory environment is complicated
CH: Various online funding sites have been launched recently, however there is only one site that addresses the crowd (FuW)

Regulatory boundaries
Crowdfunding is a method of financing projects and corporations over the internet. This novelty has therefore not been covered by many authorities so far.
Initiating a change of existing rulings is mostly very bureaucratic and therefore a tedious task

Switzerland as pioneer
Switzerland is one of the very few countries that allows the brokerage of direct funding into a company over the internet c-crowd AG has obtained pro-actively a ruling by the FINMA
