Australian early stage venture capital firm Artesian plans to launch Australia’s first online equity based crowdfunding platform in February as a government review looking at relaxing laws for startup investment.
The platform to be known as VentureCrowd is slated to start doing business in February 2014, and will offer more advanced private equity investment options than existing crowdfunding services like Kickstarter and Indiegogo because investors can buy equity stakes in the startup businesses via the websites.
