During Crowdsourcing Week 2015 in Singapore, Nicola Castelnuovo, CCO of Crowdonomic (www.crowdonomic.vc) enlightens startups on how to design and execute an equity crowdfunding campaign.
Crowdfunding has become an important alternative source of capital and is growing rapidly in Asia. It allows entrepreneurs and businesses to raise small amounts of money from many individuals to fund projects and ventures. While there are concerns about investor protection, crowdfunding demonstrates the viability of ideas and engages potential customers. Most Asian countries now recognize the benefits and are establishing regulations to provide clarity for crowdfunding platforms.

Venture capital (VC) is a form of private equity and a high-risk, high-return investment. VCs typically invest in startups that cannot raise traditional financing. They expect to lose their entire investment in 1/3 of companies, break even in 1/3, and generate returns from 1/3. VCs raise funds in cycles and have time-bound commitment and investment periods. They earn management fees and carried interest. Associates source deals and manage investments while partners make decisions. VCs prefer different stages and seek influence, liquidation preferences, and exist their investments through dilution or acquisition. There are also angel investors, accelerators, incubators, and corporate VCs that startups may encounter.

Private equity and venture capital fundsLinel Dias
Private equity fundraising involves private equity firms seeking capital from investors for their funds. Investors become limited partners in the funds and benefit from investments made using the capital in that specific fund. Private equity firms also invest in their own funds, typically 1-5% of the total capital. The time it takes to raise capital depends on market conditions and the firm's past performance. There are different types of private equity funds such as leveraged buyouts and venture capital. In India, major private equity firms include ICICI Ventures, UTI Ventures, and Carlyle. Venture capital is high-risk financing provided to new businesses in exchange for equity. Venture capital funds pool money from investors to invest in risky startups
Venture capital is equity or equity-featured capital that seeks investments in new companies, products, processes or services that offer potential for high returns. Venture capital firms invest mostly in early stage companies focused on technology, biotech and cleantech. Venture capital acquires a minority stake, usually less than 50%, in companies. Private equity buys mature companies across all industries, acquiring 100% ownership. Private equity deals are larger, ranging from $100 million to $10 billion, compared to under $10 million for venture capital.
