In the beginning, there was venture capital. And the VCs looked upon the fragile, small startups that they raped and pillaged for ludicrous profits and said “it is good.” But a new breed of entrepreneurs looked upon the cruel and unusual treatment many suffered at the hands of the cruel venture capitalists and said “there must be a better way.” So there was crowdfunding. And entrepreneurs said “pound sand, VCs. It is good.” Now, a new wave of crowdfunding has come upon our generation. The ICO. Today we’ll speak with Howard Marks, Co-founder and CEO of StartEngine, a crowdfunding platform that is expanding to allow regular startups to create their own ICO. And it’s not good. It’s awesome! The old models are fading and new opportunity is arising for all in the world of blockchain. We’re here to cover it for you in episode #136 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.
