CROWDASSET
Crowdfunding for Policy Makersthe essential new book from Dan Marom, Oliver Gajda & Tim Wright
Why This Book?
Crowdfunding is already transforming the way that many entrepreneurs & enterprises around the globe think about how they engage their community and fundraise for various causes. We believe that policy makers, public servants and various governments, municipalities & regions can benefit significantly from this fascinating trend – employing crowd related mechanisms within their frameworks and begin to use their crowd as an asset - a crowdasset.
This book explores the opportunities presented by crowdfunding and crowdfunded innovation, and how major policy makers are already using crowdfunding and crowd mechanisms and how it is radically accelerating innovation, engagement and community transformation.
