Crowdfunding: exciting tool for start-ups
The crowdfunding phenomenon is rapidly evolving and will change the startup landscape in positive ways, writes TOM STRODTBECK
THIS year, at the SXSW (South by Southwest) film, interactive and music festival in Austin, Texas, legendary rocker Neil Young spoke to a few hundred people, where he introduced the crowd to a new music player, Pono.
Pono, described by another legendary rocker Trent Reznor as looking "like a Toblerone", is a digital music player that will offer a variety of digital formats, not just MP3s.
In Mr Young's view, the sound quality of a typical MP3 is poor. Other formats offer a superior music experience.
