OurCrowd Founder and CEO, Jon Medved said, "Seven years ago, I joined the first angel investor group at Lending Club (LC) and witnessed first-hand the exponential growth of online lending.

Paul Aitken, CEO and Founder of Borro, said: “We are delighted with our collaboration with OurCrowd. Their ability to lead this important funding round has proven that equity crowdfunding has indeed come of age. I was excited by the quality of the investors they have brought to the table and am looking forward to their adding additional value to Borro as we move forward.”

Private Equity Crowdfunding Marketplace for Retail Investors InvestX Announces Beta Launch
Crowdfund Insider | | Dec 16, 2014
Initial USD $5.2 Million Seed Round Secured From Prominent Investors
InvestX Capital announced on Tuesday (December 16th) the beta launch of its cross-border private equity crowdfunding marketplace for U.S. and Canadian investors, opening up an asset class previously only accessible through larger (USD $1 million or higher) investments. For the first time, InvestX will provide accredited retail investors with direct access to high-quality private equity opportunities at low minimum investments (starting at USD $2,500), sourced and thoroughly vetted by a select group of partnering private equity firms.
The initial offering on the InvestX beta site allows accredited investors the opportunity to invest in Cleveland HeartLab’s Series C financing. Cleveland HeartLab (CHL) is a well-established, five-year old health sciences company known as one of the leading providers of comprehensive cardiovascular disease prevention, diagnosis and management services. CHL has already secured over USD $32 million in funding from institutional investors such as Excel Medical Ventures, Healthcare Venture Partners, Mutual Capital Partners, Cleveland Clinic, and one of the world’s largest healthcare companies. Through its private equity partner, Mutual Capital Partners, InvestX has secured a USD $1,000,000 allocation for InvestX members with an expected closing on January 15, 2015.

Founder and CEO of InvestX Marcus New stated,“Private equity has long been used by institutions and ultra-high net worth individuals to add assets to their portfolios with traditionally higher returns than the public equity markets. Our goal is to democratize private equity investing – to provide every accredited investor with access to the same opportunities as the professional investor – and through InvestX, our private equity crowdfunding marketplace, there is an unprecedented opportunity to access established, high growth private companies that are already generating revenue.“
Earlier this year, InvestX closed a USD $5.2 million seed investment round from investors who support Mr. New’s vision. This included U.S. Global Funds, Meridian Funds, Pathfinder Asset Management, Mercury Capital, Mutual Capital Alliance and Stockhouse Publishing, along with a group of prominent angel investors. The private equity crowdfunding marketplace will use the funds to continue to build the InvestX platform and bring a wide variety of quality private equity opportunities to its members. Two additional deals are already sourced and will be available in early 2015.
An initial investor and U.S. Global Funds CEO Frank Holmes shared, “The passage of the JOBS Act has created a multitude of new investment opportunities, but high invested capital requirements can still be an issue for some ground floor opportunities. I was impressed with the structure of the InvestX marketplace and thought that the streamlined process offered on the platform would be appealing to accredited investors looking to diversify their portfolio.”

Google launches Contributor, a crowdfunding tool for publishers
Gigaom by Matthew Ingram | November 20, 2014
Google often gets criticized by publishers for taking their content without asking them first, but the web giant has probably done more to experiment with alternative monetization options for content than any other media entity. On Thursday it starts rolling out a new one called Google Contributor, which is designed to allow web users to pay sites that they visit a monthly fee, and in return see no Google ads when they visit those sites.
Google said the new feature is launching with 10 publishing partners, including Mashable, Imgur, WikiHow and Science Daily. When a user goes to the Google Contributor website (initial access is by invitation only), they see a list of the publishers that are participating in the beta version and they can choose whether they want to contribute $1, $2 or $3 a month.

The contribution — which is handled through a user’s Google account, using whatever payment method they have chosen for the service — doesn’t go to all of the participating websites, but is only triggered when that user visits a specific site (the service is working with U.S. sites only for now). That way, a Google spokesperson said that readers or users can support only the websites and publishers whose sites they visit frequently.
Related: Indiegogo Founder Speaks on Why Crowdfunding is an Equal Opportunity Platform
For publishers, the contributions are handled through their existing Google advertising accounts, with the search giant taking a small cut of the proceeds. In effect, the contributions are an alternative to just relying on Google AdSense. The company said it chose partners who didn’t have too much traffic (with the exception of Mashable, which gets 40 million uniques a month) because it wanted to start small and see how much the feature would get used.
A thank you message
One of the most interesting features of the project is that after the Google Contributor payment is triggered, a user will no longer see the usual advertising from Google on the pages of the site they are visiting — instead, they will see a message from the publisher, thanking them for their contribution. And in some cases, on mobile versions of the site, ads may disappear altogether.

The Google spokesperson who described the project said Contributor was another example of the company’s attempts to help web publishers and content companies monetize their readership more easily, along with similar experiments like Google Consumer Surveys, which allows websites to require that readers fill out a survey before they get access to content.

TORONTO, Nov. 5, 2014 /CNW/ - The National Crowdfunding Association of Canada (NCFA Canada) today announced the industry's first Canadian Crowdfunding Summit to be held on Tuesday, March 3, 2015, as the foremost event for leaders in the Canadian crowdfunding space.
The inaugural 2015 Canadian Crowdfunding Summit will provide an exclusive opportunity to learn vital content and network with industry experts gathering to highlight economic progress, regulatory updates, best practices, insights and trends impactful to the future growth of the Canadian crowdfunding industry.
With favourable regulations imminent in Canada and the global crowdfunding industry experiencing explosive growth from $1.5 billion raised in 2011 to over $5 billion in 2013, crowdfunding has emerged as an increasingly popular source of innovation and social capital for small to medium sized enterprises (SMEs), new ventures, projects and cause-based organizations. The World Bank released a report in October 2013 predicting that crowdfunding could blossom into a $96 billion industry.
The full day educational agenda will feature high profile keynote speakers, panel discussions, workshops, entrepreneurial pitches, mentor sessions, and a trade show showcasing Canada's most forefront crowdfunding platforms and service providers. The program will cover a diverse range of topics including crowdfunding governance, market data, infrastructure, social enterprise and charities, opportunities for new entrants, and global perspectives.
"The 2015 Summit will be a first in Canada, bringing together financial innovation and crowdfunding leaders to help shape the future of the Canadian industry", said Craig Asano, Founder and Executive Director of NCFA Canada. "With so much activity happening on the US/UK conference circuit, it's about time Canada showcases the remarkable economic growth, innovation and entrepreneurship occurring every day in crowdfunding markets across Canada."
The 2015 Canadian Crowdfunding Summit will be held at MaRS Discovery District in downtown Toronto, and will feature startups listed in MaRS Impact Investing's accredited investor platform, the SVX. "MaRS is a leader in impact investing and social entrepreneurship as well as a hub for social finance," said Tim Jackson, MaRS Executive Vice President, Corporate and Community Relations, MaRS Discovery District. "In 2013, we established the SVX, North America's first platform connecting impact ventures, funds and investors to catalyze startups that demonstrate the potential for social or environmental return. We look forward to hosting Canada's first crowdfunding summit and the opportunity to highlight these innovative social ventures."
This announcement comes after a successful equity crowdfunding and venture capital cross-Canada tour organized by NCFA Canada this summer that brought together key participants to discuss Canada's proposed crowdfunding regulations. NCFA Canada expects the Summit to attract over 300 delegates from across the country, varying from crowdfunding industry leaders such as portals, accounting and legal professionals, dealer-brokers, marketers, private angel investors and venture capital funds, social enterprise impact investing companies, government, academia, media journalists and entrepreneurial networks.

DreamQii launches PlexiDrone, designed and manufactured in Canada
CNW DreamQii Press Release | Nov 4, 2014
State-of-the-art flying drone propels aerial photography, raises over $450K in one month
TORONTO, Nov. 4, 2014 /CNW/ - Thanks to the stunning success of their crowd funding efforts - quadrupling their initial goal and raising over $450,000 in one month on IndieGogo - DreamQii is pleased to announce that they will be bringing the PlexiDrone to market in the spring. The small, sophisticated and easy-to-use drone is operated by a smart phone or tablet and allows users to capture breathtaking aerial photography with unprecedented ease. The device is the first of its kind to be designed and manufactured in Canada.
Leading camera retailer, Henry's, will also carry the Canadian-made drone. Shoppers can look for the PlexiDrone in stores and online next spring. Combined sales through crowd-funding and retail agreements exceed $1M USD.
View: Crowdfunding is Essential for Job Creation and Innovation
A team of Canadian designers, engineers and entrepreneurs built the PlexiDrone with consumers in mind. The device snaps together in under a minute and requires no tools for set-up. PlexiDrone offers simplified multi-vantage-point swarm filming, GPS "follow me", advanced obstacle avoidance, and retractable landing gear that provides a 360-degree unobstructed field of view allowing users to easily produce professional level shots.
"Since we launched our crowdfunding campaign, the response from our backers has been overwhelmingly positive and we are well ahead of our sales projections," said Klever Freire, an aeronautical engineer and co-founder and CEO of DreamQii. "We are truly grateful for the worldwide support from everyone who funded the campaign."
Relationships with Henry's and BublCam bring added strength to the PlexiDrone product line. These partnerships have allowed DreamQii to bring different perks throughout the crowdfunding campaign, offering both backers and prospective buyers many reasons to support the campaign.
"DreamQii's PlexiDrone camera platform meets the needs of our customers with features like GPS follow-me and a 360-degree unobstructed field of view," said Mark Wolfson, Vice President of Sales at Henry's. "With its ease of use, extreme-portability and industrial design, PlexiDrone is a great product for film makers and photographers, which is why we will support it through all our retail stores, on-line, and through our flight schools."
"We love the PlexiDrone. Bubl and DreamQii agree that portability and ease-of-use are design essentials," said Sean Ramsay, CEO of Bubl. "Together, we are transforming aerial photography, bringing an unobstructed 360-degree view to consumers."
"We could not be more thrilled for the DreamQii team. They are exemplary members of our startup community who have proven that they are market leaders, consistently delivering ahead of their business targets," said Valerie Fox, Executive Director at the Digital Media Zone at Ryerson University.

Beyond its strong technical specs, the PlexiDrone is also fun to use. This social robot offers customizable voice prompts designed to engage, inform and entertain the user. Instead of watching for status indicators like blinking or color-coded LEDs, PlexiDrone talks to the user in its default upper-crust British accent. The voice can also be swapped out for a fully customized experience.
