Does Wealth Migrate do crowdfunding, or is it more advanced than this. How do you 10x traditional crowdfunding

Crowdfunding, which has already made huge economic waves in the United States, Europe and Asia, is a method of financing or raising capital that harnesses the power of the masses, or the “crowd” to fund a project, business or endeavours, typically via the Internet. Mas solution, a research, advisory and implementation firm that specialises in crowd sourcing solutions for private, public and social enterprises, says that the global crowdfunding market will reach $34.4B in 2015, and is set for continued explosive growth. In nations where Crowdfunding is legal, it has levelled the economic playing field, giving access to capital needed for wealth creation to women and minorities that typically are under served by traditional capital markets.

“There is a huge wealth gap in the emerging world, and crowdfunding is a solution to close this gap,” said Scott Picken, founding member of the African Crowdfunding Association and CEO of Wealth Migrate, a global online real estate investment marketplace. “Crowdfunding can provide equal opportunity and equal access to capital that is essential for wealth creation within under served populations. The ACfA will educate not only the public, but also the policymakers about the benefits of crowdfunding for Africa.”

Wealth Migrate and Thundafund have partnered to lay the groundwork for the ACfA and are urging policy makers and others passionate about increasing access to capital to join them.

“We see crowdfunding as the democratisation of financing for entrepreneurs,” said Patrick Schofield, CEO and co-founder of Thundafund. “Thus far we have been thrilled to see the outpouring of African and global support for African entrepreneurs that have had the courage to launch new ideas into the world.

There are so many inspiring entrepreneurs in Africa who could do so much to change the world with access to capital. Crowdfunding is the next-gen solution to Africa’s development agenda.”
