Do you, like me, tune in to ‘Dragons Den’ every week to see wannabees compete for investment from ‘successful multi-millionaire entrepreneurs’ to make their dream a reality.<\/p>\n

\"new-dragons-den\"Do you cringe when you see the hopeful saps flounder because they don’t know the difference between Gross & Net profit or snigger when they hopelessly overvalue their nascent company.<\/p>\n

All great fun but, I don’t know about you, I think there has been a real dearth of Innovation on the show recently, and it all seems very very dated.<\/p>\n

Nowadays there are some much better sources for funding innovation which don’t depend on the whim of the multi-millionaire but instead are based on crowd funding – investment from ordinary individuals like you & I attracted by the innovation process & the chance to partake in the creative process.<\/p>\n

Here are some examples of these alternative sources of finance for the budding entrepreneur:-<\/p>\n

Check them out for yourself:-<\/p>\n

www.kickstarter.com<\/p>\n

www.indiegogo.com<\/p>\n

www.crowdfunder.com<\/p>\n

www.rockethub.com<\/p>\n

www.angellist.com<\/p>\n

There are many more & they all represent a growing trend – a great idea, probably promoted via social media, \u00a0attracts a crowd of interested backers, the project develops momentum & its ultimate success rewards everyone involved to one degree or another.<\/p>\n

Perhaps this is indicative of the way society is evolving – from Capitalism to Collaboration – where innovation is no longer dependent upon the whims of a small minority of wealthy individuals but is propelled by the shared interest & active participation of the many.
