Moderated by Mr. Chavapas Ongmahutmongkul — Co-Founder & Managing Director, Bangkok Venture Club

One of the best panel — great topic, awesome moderator and chill chill investors with vast experience. They are open and aligned that crowdfunding is one great options to various stages of businesses.

“Crowdfunding is a good thing to open up opportunity for those who’re interested to invest in startup since it’s easy to access. One project may not have only one or two angle investors but maybe hundreds, so it diversifies risk which is good for investors and also help the startup in term of funds. However, investors should understand that even they invest in small money, every investment has risk and they should learn about investing thoroughly.” — Pom (CEO of 2morrow and stock2morrow)

Shannon: The main obstacle is people don’t understand crowdfunding. We should simplify and make it mass to people.

For Shawn crowdfunding is the thing that he hasn’t tried before for now, he will consider it as one of the options to invest.

Chavapas suggested, lead investor is the key. It will give much creditability and much easier to get people to follow up.
