2015 Was the Year of Change
- Crowdfunding became mainstream – in the sense that it was accepted as part of the ‘new normal’ and not a fad that’s going to fade away
- In the USA the SEC finally, perhaps reluctantly, followed the Fintech leaders in allowing a limited form of equity Crowdfunding – the limitation will become more and more apparent from May as entrepreneurs actually try to use it and ‘feel the burn’ from all the friction
- The UK’s regulator, the FCA, embraced the Innovation Unit I proposed and, a year on from it’s inauguration expanded it to create a ‘Regulatory Sandbox’ to support and encourage fintech and innovation
