NCFA Canada Crowdfunding Ambassadors

Crowdfunding Ambassadors (CFAs) are leaders, educators, supporters and advocates of an inclusive and broad-based crowdfunding industry in communities across Canada. They are circles of influence and ‘go to resources’ for small businesses, organizations and investors to connect with, share and learn about crowdfunding via locally hosted events and initiatives. CFAs are specialists and plugged into an international network of shared resources, thought leadership, and industry professionals striving to cultivate and shape the future of crowdfunding in Canada and beyond.

David Sawyer, President, ConsiderFunding

David brings a background of experience and over 30 years in the financial services industry to the Global Equity Crowdfunding phenomenon.  As an entrepreneur and business owner, training and managing dozens of financial service professionals, David has a proven track record of exceptional investor relations and senior management. David is a recognized leader with multi-industry designations and accolades.  David's experience in the Exempt Market during his career provides high-level insight and a wealth of knowledge to Equity Crowdfunding that is taking the world by storm.

“On the whole, crowdfunding is an engine of creation. Possibly one of the most significant social developments to happen in decades, it represents a colossal transformation with the potential to change economies. Equity Crowdfunding, in particular, is far more than just raising money from investors. To believe that is to misunderstand its fundamental nature. It is a rewarding process that gives individuals the opportunity to communicate, participate, and feel part of a business or venture that resonates with them.” – David Sawyer
