Last week, Our Crowd published a list of the 100 Most Influential Thought Leaders in the world. Most of the listed persons are from the US, even though there are many crowdfunding activities all around the world. Nevertheless, the list is probably a good summary of the driving forces in this new financial sector. In fact, the list displays top level politicians, journalists, business people and investors who have contributed to the crowdfunding regulation and business activities since the birth of industry.
Both Crowd Valley’s Chairman, Jouko Ahvenainen, and Crowd Valley’s CEO, Markus Lampinen, were included in the list as two of the top crowdfunding world’s influencers. As a consequence, the company is one of the few organizations to have two members in the list.
This of course is a great news, not only for Mr. Ahvenainen and Mr. Lampinen, but for the entire Crowd Valley team. In fact, as Crowd Valley’s CEO Markus Lampinen pointed out “the fact that Crowd Valley appears twice on that list is the result of a great teamwork, focused on develop a sustainable and transparent financial industry”.
Jouko Ahvenainen, the company’s Chairman, commented: “ It is great to be on that list. We’re committed to expanding crowdfunding also to other sectors than only startups, to support different types of actors from the financial industry and ultimately to contribute to making crowdfunding not only an innovation, but a new paradigm shift”.
