Crowdsourcing and Crowdfunding at Innovestment

Mass-Customization reports:

A group of entrepreneurs from RWTH Aachen university have developed an interesting model of crowdfunding in the early / seed financing sector -- and one of their first projects is a mass customization start-up in the game market.

The start-up, Innovestment, is a crowdinvesting platform for startup-investments. It is not a micro-financing site, but more one that allows people with a real demand for investing money the opportunity to participate in innovative conceots with low risk.

The model is based on "silent partnerships" (a well established legal form in Europe), and the pricing/valuation will be done through an innovative auction mechanism.
