Equity Crowdfunding (ECF) is the process whereby people (the 'crowd') invest in an early-stage unlisted company in exchange for shares in that company. Peer-to-Peer Lending (P2P) is the practice of lending money to individuals or businesses through online services that match lenders directly with borrowers. [One more: Rewards-based crowdfunding such as Kickstarter, Indiegogo.]
The forum aims to build awareness on the potential of equity crowdfunding and P2P financing as new approaches for SME and entrepreneurship financing as well as seeks to provide information and insights about ECF or P2P as alternative investment opportunities to investors especially retail investors.
