CROWDFUNDING
OWERING A REVOLUTION
MAS CONSIDERATIONS
Public Disclosure may affect the novelty of
the idea and so disclose only basic consumer
information and not technology specifics
Ensure the idea does not infringe on any
other patents and hence undertake a patent
search prior
Ensure you have consent to use any 3rd
party technology if part of the product idea
Thought Starter
How can MAS leverage the phenomenon of
Crowdfunding to test & fund our own ideas
The ability to raise “virtual capital” provides a degree of
credibility for the proposed concepts “Nothing like
selling a concept to a consumer-validation”
Opposed to the classical mechanism of closed innovation, consumers and investors will have a significant
influence on crowdfunded concepts – “Open Innovation
and Co-Creation”
A crowdfunding project will also provide a certain
element of marketing in the space of Social Media, the
projects concepts if successful will go viral. A quick
mechanism to obtain “free” marketing.
