Morgan & Westfield - Deal Talk

The financial market collapse of 2008 resulted in tougher standards and regulations for the nation’s largest banks, making it more difficult in many cases for small business owners to secure the funds they need to grow their business. Since the financial crisis, crowdfunding has emerged as a real—and credible—alternative to banks, private equity, and venture capital. This edition of Deal Talk delves into the details of what crowdfunding is, its advantages over traditional funding sources and how the application process works. Jeff Allen talks with Mr. Markus Lampinen, CEO of Crowdvalley.com in San Francisco for an in-depth discussion of an option that could help your raise the capital you need.
