Jason Best, one of the founders of Crowdfund Capital Advisors and a staunch advocate of investment crowdfunding, recently visited multiple countries in Asia spreading the crowdfunding gospel. During this trip he spent some time in Malaysia, a country that is pushing forward with investment crowdfunding as a method to boost jobs and the economy.
Best shares his regional perspective on the movement noting the discussion has shifted from what is crowdfunding to how do I implement it to boost SME growth?
Best addresses the question about what type of investor should be able to participate in these, at times, risky investments. Â He also predicts the market, while starting small, will grow dramatically.
He lauds the UK and ASSOB in Australian and states, “the US is running behind”.
