Current chairman of the CFIA, RM of Licenced Equity Crowdfunding Platform https://Billfolda.com , member of Billfolda Angels and active startup adviser.

He is a regular contributor to innovation policy across areas from crowdfunding, taxation, employee shares, collaborative economy and innovation.

As an early and consistent advocate for proprietary crowdfunding we are eager to take on his insights into the new regime and its potentials and pitfalls.

Proprietary Is not private

The implicit promise of "crowdfunding" is great;

Words like: Instant, Free, Accessible, Fair, Easy, Disruptive, Worldwide, Fans, Feedback, Millions in Minutes are common place, however the as anyone on the inside knows, misguided expectations do not match reality.

I'll be exploring these ideas, and the reality of regulated Proprietary company fundraising in the Australian licensee based regime, with particular focus on the implicit conflicts between PTY governance and the Public offer of equity.

Find out how Billfolda plans to mediate some of these issues, and expect to leave with more questions than answers as we dive into minority shareholder rights and the needs of early stage companies seeking capital.
