“Startups need more know-how on how to tap into the crowd. Reports show that companies with crowd- and network-based business models perform better and grow faster compared to companies with other business models,” shared Flemming Binderup Gammelgaard of the Danish Crowdsourcing Association.

The event will also incorporate a launch program for aspiring startups. The “nerds” from the Danish Crowdfunding Association will be available to provide their insight and feedback into the funding process.Sigurd Schou Madsen

”Access to capital is the main obstacle for SMEs with high growth potential. Crowdfunding can help companies overcome this obstacle while at the same time involving consumers on a whole new level. Crowdfunding creates opportunities for startup businesses and strengthens the economy,” commented Sigurd Schou Madsen, a Political consultant with the Danish Chamber of Commerce.
