Name: Alternative business models: open-source, crowd funding and tokenisation
Start: 2021-04-26T19:30:00+01:00
End: 2021-04-26T20:30:00+01:00

Open-source has grown up from the gift of shareware to become a legitimate business model. Similarly, crowdfunding is no longer an exotic fund-raising mechanism for community-interest projects only. Tokenisation, cryptocurrencies and Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) have streaked across our horizon.

This session looks at these alternative business models and what they mean for technical and marketing decisions in product companies.
--------------------------
This meetup is co-presented by 2 members of the network:

Liam Crilly, Senior Director of Product Management at F5, wrote his first web app in 1993, and has enjoyed working with Internet software ever since. Having held various product management roles (mostly in Cambridge) Liam currently manages several open source projects including NGINX, the world’s most widely used web server.

Arthur Meadows has been in product management & marketing for 20 years. He was a founding member of Fetch.ai, AI + ML + crypto-currency start-up at St John's Innovation Centre in 2017. He was responsible for raising $15m in Series A funding and led an Initial Coin Offering (ICO) of $6m on a crowd-funding platform which sold out in 22 seconds with 2,000+ investors.
