City AM (free London paper) now has a weekly crowdfunding section. Today's piece talks about a possible bubble. The conclusion (provided by founders of two of the platforms) is that there isn't but investors should be careful. Full article |

This is about equity crowdfunding, and my God the valuations of some of the startups or early stage outfits are often ridiculously high.

Yes, shimself is correct. The whole crowdfunding bubble is to do with equities crowdfunding. Investors or the crowd are pouring money into any company that sounds good without really understanding the financials of the companies and also realising that only 1 in 10 start-ups survive.

Anyone with £190 burning a hole in their pocket might consider the City AM Crowdfunding seminar. Not for me, but it is probably better value than some of the companies on some of the platforms. Page 18, last Thursday's edition |

I often a very different view on crowdfunding than peer-to-peer lending. Some of the crowdfunding valuations are frankly silly, but some people believe they are buying into the next Google or Amazon and are willing to pay a significant premium for an idea.
