This document discusses how online investment platforms like Seedrs are harnessing crowdsourced capital for startups by allowing ordinary investors to invest small amounts. It notes that traditionally only the wealthy could invest in startups, which limited funding opportunities for entrepreneurs. However, online platforms now give mass affluent individuals access to startup investing by enabling them to build diversified portfolios more easily and cheaply. This expands the pool of capital available to startups while offering mainstream investors an appealing asset class.
