It was very helpful. Thank you. I didn't know how the Jobs Act affects crowd-funding, for example. Hope you'll be doing more of these!

Me sorprendió más que el fondo la forma. El fondo muy interesante pero como bien dice el título te quedas en lo básico por lo que seguro habrá un mid trainning.

There was no personal contact and it was hard to understand the concept. If it about donations I could only grasp it from some of today's email.
Your email was talking about slides, but except for one - very unclear - there was nothing else. I attended the portion of 2 people talking and gave up when it wasn't clear were you are going with this. I have a BA an I had my own business so I believe that a good presentation would make a difference. Thank you.

I signed up for the Webinar, but was unable to attend at the last minute - I believe you said it would be posted online, but I can't find anything to this effect. Can you clarify whether you will post it and if so, when and where? Thanks!

In terms of cost how does it compare to getting funding from angels or VC's? What are the reporting requirements after you get crowd funded? Is the crowd literally anybody with a credit card or are there limitations?
