Sunday Telegraph feature on Trampoline Crowdfunding

Posted on August 9th, 2009 by Charles Armstrong

Today’s Sunday Telegraph includes a feature on Trampoline’s Crowdfunding initiative written by the paper’s Enterprise Editor, Richard Tyler. The article discusses how conventional venture capital financing can lead businesses to raise progressively larger sums of money regardless of whether that’s what they actually need. As Trampoline proceeds down the crowdfunding path it will be interesting to see if there are other areas of strategy where we begin to innovate having previously followed the norms of the venture capital industry.

    Very cool. Will you be able to share the documents used? Not sure this will fly in the US. Good luck hitting your targets. Looks like you’re well on your way.
