Mobile Monday and Crowd Valley as part of the Grow VC Group have organized a conference about mobile startup funding at the Mobile World Congress 2013. The event will be a part of the “Bringing The Community Together” event on Thursday 28th, February 09:40 to 15:00 in Hall 8.0 Theatre District, Theatre D.
The discussion will look for answers, for example, to the following questions:
Crowdfunding portals built on Crowd Valley infrastructure are able to access and communicate with members of any other crowdfunding portal or startup community that uses our technology. In this way, a local, industry-focused crowdfunding platform can be connected to a community startups coming out of a local university and angel investor networks with domain expertize in that industry, whilst at the same time a larger VC or corporate or government development fund is able to track progress within this community and make investments according to their preferred criteria.
This is just one example of how these new online funding models can stimulate growth and transparency in historically opaque financial systems by bringing communities together. We look forward to continuing the discussion in Barcelona.
Crowd Valley will be represented at this event by Jouko Ahvenainen, Chairman of the Grow VC Group. Other speakers include:
