Venture Capital is risky, crowdfunding more so.

It takes about ten times as much money to go from working prototype to consumer product.

Beware next time you back a start up.

I've run a venture capital fund - I'm so pleased crowd funding came into being. We once got a handwritten business plan for a spaceship. Now the crowd funders get them.
