Jon Medved

Veteran of the venture capital sector, Israeli Jon Medved, will address the Creative Innovation conference in Melbourne this month, spruiking opportunities for Australian investors and start-ups in the fledgling equity crowdfunding market.

Instead of taking pledges from individuals in return for a reward or service, such as the campaigns offered by Kickstarter and Pozible, equity crowdfunding allows individuals to invest for financial return in the business.
