@ weijian
I agree with your points, but I would like to view its user as a spectrum, rather than only few distinctive groups. There are many success cases, between the unicorn, and the average. I have heard many cases, where PEs are too-demanding, but founders have little options. Are these "below average" startups? I am not sure, and likely no one is very sure. No historical case for reference, because, many of them have been bought, before significant success were seen.  Big Grin

@ Raks
Besides, the equity-based and lending-based crowd-funding, there are also reward-based and donation-based ones, which fit into the different scenario illustrated. Lending-based crowd-funding should be short-term i.e in months or at most 1 year, to work.

@Triple70
How about a new start-up, who can produce reliable rating on the "tiny" crowd-funding cases. A future Moody in the making? May be disruptive to Moody in the future?  Tongue

Due to me being skeptical, I have never participate in anything that give excellent return in a year. 

@Triple70. That's one great idea from City Farmer. Don't underestimate it. Web2.0, crowdfunding, crowdsourcing. Dont do everything by yourself. Get vbs/university kids to do the reliability rating on the tiny cases (much simpler to do DD on wantoon noodle stall, verify a person really exist etc vs DD before acquisition on Noble Group). Vbs/uni kids get their project/portfolio, the rest get the ratings. Another crowdsource/web 2.0 is Youtube. I am going there now. Happy holiday! Big Grin
