In one years operations, Crowd Valley, the US-based platform, back office and ecosystem service provider, has gained a broad view on the global crowdfunding market. With data collected on over 6,000 individuals and companies from all over the world, Crowd Valley releases an overview of facts and figures in the global report, presented at UC Berkeley’s Academic Symposium on crowdfunding .

“The crowdfunding market is growing quickly, with the JOBS Act’s provisions mostly in effect and several national and state regulators implementing their own rules, making the current setting a valuable moment to frame the situation”, stated Markus Lampinen, CEO of Crowd Valley. The snapshot on the crowdfunding global market, obtained with Crowd Valley’s report, can be used, later on, as a starting point to evaluate the impact of the aforementioned regulations and  the sector’s overall development in time.

From the analysis, conducted on a sample of 500 organizations and professionals of the over 6,000 interested in Crowd Valley’s services, emerged the following key findings:

The greatest interest comes from those looking at an equity crowdfunding model;

There has been noticeable growth in alternative asset classes beyond startups;

The majority of market entrants are not already authorized by a financial regulator and therefore will be working with regulators for the first time;

Most interest has come from North America and Europe, showing a correlation between interest in the sector and forthcoming regulatory activity;

Within the US, the broker-dealer and asset manager community is showing significant interest in crowdfunding, with opportunities in syndication and new distribution channels.

An in-depth description of the analysis’s findings is provided in the report. For all those interested in receiving a copy, please register (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1aAM3UA7h2GaA6WirShXwMzCa...).
