Crowdfunding allows projects and ventures to be funded by raising small amounts of money from a large number of people online. It has grown significantly in recent years, with $16 billion raised in 2014 and an estimated $34 billion in 2015. While some criticize crowdfunding for potential fraud and poorly conceived projects, crowdfunding provides benefits by funding important social causes, scientific research, and new startups that may otherwise not receive funding. The risks of crowdfunding can be mitigated by using reputable sites and vetting projects thoroughly. Overall, the benefits of crowdfunding outweigh the criticisms.

II. Goals & Objectives.
Client wants:
· Looking to expand the building to the public in order to create a “neighborhood hub community.”
· Creation of cafe/studio gallery museum
· Looking for “studio providers” - they need rental income. Leasing space to these companies and to provide labor to their employees.
· **Maker Space Movement** - A health club model for the maker space movement area.
· Revenue model: based on “cheap and shiny” memberships; storage space; supplies; events to draw revenue and attention
Finance team goal:
To ensure the business will have a financial revenue model within the Makerspace, that is self-sustaining to grow the operations of the business within the business; as well as concise definite numbers (based on estimates) to draw in potential investors to help fund the expansion project in south boston.
Objectives for task:
- An investor pitch deck for Artists for Humanity to sell their services and ideas to potentials for a return in company exposure; media; and project collaboration.
· To increase revenue in the “Makerspace area” per square foot since currently revenues are at 50% for business from arts sold to partnering clients/businesses.
· *Roi analysis and earnings of project*
· Reduce costs for Makerspace
· Quarterly projections
· Realize ideas for funding and estimates based on benchmarks
· Discover present bottlenecks holding up revenue streams as well as future ones

III. Co risk financial analysis
Risk Identification:
· Creation of new classes and services will deter image of Artists for Humanity as a non for profit organization brand image and value.
· “Time to market” delay - in funding can consequently result in a thirty three percent loss in revenue if right time and investors for ideas not found within ample time.
· Not enough value created in models for consumers to buy into idea of “MakerSpace community” and sharing of experience.
Risk assessment & mitigation:
· Emphasis on value creation for new classes and pricing - development of reasoning to support new numbers and figures - will create trust and investor confidence.
· Trial and beta testing for new membership and classes to be offered based on revenue per square foot.
· Analysis from outside perspective - based on “triple constraints.”
· Executing beta testing of new revenue models with a clear evaluation and control plan ...

China’s Super App Meituan just turned profitable. A year after its IPO, the 9-year-old company finally arrived at the inflection point investors have pined for. In its latest financial result for Q2 2019, it booked 3.17 billion dollars in revenue and 56 billion in market cap. That number means it has replaced Baidu as the third most valuable tech giants in China, right after Alibaba and Tencent. It also coincides with Uber’s Q2 number in both revenue and market cap, who is still struggling to break-even. How did Meituan Dianping manage to profit off the notoriously loss-making food delivery business? How did it rise to domination in a cutthroat arena for on-demand service, outstripping Alibaba’s Ele.me and Ctrip in market share? How does the app work for consumers and merchants?

The commissioning agent as anthropologist: part 2Marcel Harmon
"If the goals of the commissioning process are to ensure that a building and its systems provide a quality environment and meet the owner’s operational needs, including adequately preparing operations and maintenance staff and occupants, then the commissioning agent must adequately account for human factors and interactions throughout the commissioning process. It would seem, then, that anthropology—the comparative study of human societies and cultures in all their various manifestations now and in the past, might have something to offer commissioning."

Taming Information Chaos with the Power of 2.0Judy O'Connell
Web 2.0 provides ways to filter, streamline, organise, share, distribute or gather information from the burgeoning information jungle. With the power of 2.0 the information revolution can be tamed. Teachers can learn new ways to incorporate search strategies into their personal information-seeking toolkits and then work with students to weave deeper understandings of how to find information right into the fabric of their learning. In a learning environment where writing, reflecting, creating and collaborating are driving authentic engagement with content, searching and researching has to encompass multi-literacies and information fluency in the process. It’s time to challenge the old standards of ‘search’. With all our experience as teachers, we are novices in the information revolution. It’s not a one-size-fits-all environment, and the myriad of choices, tools and techniques we could customise for our professional purposes need explanation and elaboration to understand how to be a confident, efficient and effective news and knowledge curators. This session will show how connecting, collaborating and networking are dependent on knowledge filters and information search techniques that allow teachers to become extraordinary information architects in charge of their own knowledge work, ready to mentor and support the learning of their students.

Lifting the Corporate Veil. Power Point Presentationseri bangash
"Lifting the Corporate Veil" is a legal concept that refers to the judicial act of disregarding the separate legal personality of a corporation or limited liability company (LLC). Normally, a corporation is considered a legal entity separate from its shareholders or members, meaning that the personal assets of shareholders or members are protected from the liabilities of the corporation. However, there are certain situations where courts may decide to "pierce" or "lift" the corporate veil, holding shareholders or members personally liable for the debts or actions of the corporation.
Here are some common scenarios in which courts might lift the corporate veil:
Fraud or Illegality: If shareholders or members use the corporate structure to perpetrate fraud, evade legal obligations, or engage in illegal activities, courts may disregard the corporate entity and hold those individuals personally liable.
Undercapitalization: If a corporation is formed with insufficient capital to conduct its intended business and meet its foreseeable liabilities, and this lack of capitalization results in harm to creditors or other parties, courts may lift the corporate veil to hold shareholders or members liable.
Failure to Observe Corporate Formalities: Corporations and LLCs are required to observe certain formalities, such as holding regular meetings, maintaining separate financial records, and avoiding commingling of personal and corporate assets. If these formalities are not observed and the corporate structure is used as a mere façade, courts may disregard the corporate entity.
Alter Ego: If there is such a unity of interest and ownership between the corporation and its shareholders or members that the separate personalities of the corporation and the individuals no longer exist, courts may treat the corporation as the alter ego of its owners and hold them personally liable.
Group Enterprises: In some cases, where multiple corporations are closely related or form part of a single economic unit, courts may pierce the corporate veil to achieve equity, particularly if one corporation's actions harm creditors or other stakeholders and the corporate structure is being used to shield culpable parties from liability.

Lifting the Corporate Veil. Power Point Presentationseri bangash
"Lifting the Corporate Veil" is a legal concept that refers to the judicial act of disregarding the separate legal personality of a corporation or limited liability company (LLC). Normally, a corporation is considered a legal entity separate from its shareholders or members, meaning that the personal assets of shareholders or members are protected from the liabilities of the corporation. However, there are certain situations where courts may decide to "pierce" or "lift" the corporate veil, holding shareholders or members personally liable for the debts or actions of the corporation.
Here are some common scenarios in which courts might lift the corporate veil:
Fraud or Illegality: If shareholders or members use the corporate structure to perpetrate fraud, evade legal obligations, or engage in illegal activities, courts may disregard the corporate entity and hold those individuals personally liable.
Undercapitalization: If a corporation is formed with insufficient capital to conduct its intended business and meet its foreseeable liabilities, and this lack of capitalization results in harm to creditors or other parties, courts may lift the corporate veil to hold shareholders or members liable.
Failure to Observe Corporate Formalities: Corporations and LLCs are required to observe certain formalities, such as holding regular meetings, maintaining separate financial records, and avoiding commingling of personal and corporate assets. If these formalities are not observed and the corporate structure is used as a mere façade, courts may disregard the corporate entity.
Alter Ego: If there is such a unity of interest and ownership between the corporation and its shareholders or members that the separate personalities of the corporation and the individuals no longer exist, courts may treat the corporation as the alter ego of its owners and hold them personally liable.
Group Enterprises: In some cases, where multiple corporations are closely related or form part of a single economic unit, courts may pierce the corporate veil to achieve equity, particularly if one corporation's actions harm creditors or other stakeholders and the corporate structure is being used to shield culpable parties from liability.
