One great example of the power of crowdfunding is our new client OUYA, an Android-powered gaming console, which achieved massive levels of success with their Kickstarter campaign, raising $8.5 million. This isn’t something you would have seen back in 2008 when I first started EGFS. Now the capital is flowing directly to companies that need and deserve funding.” According to Scott Jordan, of S. Jordan & Associates (SJA), a life sciences investment banking and business development consultancy, “Crowdfunding works by democratizing the flow of capital to promising start-ups; meaning investors of means (accredited investors) have the opportunity to participate in an asset class that was previously limited, and have the opportunity to diversify their holdings in this asset class as part of their overall asset allocation to minimize risk.” [http://www.digitaljournal.com/pr/1225896](http://www.digitaljournal.com/pr/1225896)     Tags: [Crowdfunding](https://www.sjordanassociates.com/blog/topic/crowdfunding) [Back to Blog](https://www.sjordanassociates.com/blog) - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) ## Related Articles ## [Vital Signs #32: CrowdfundConnect - H/X Exchange](https://www.sjordanassociates.com/blog/bid/194213/Vital-Signs-32-CrowdfundConnect-H-X-Exchange) Healthios, a leading Chicago-based investment bank partnered with CrowdfundConnect, a CrowdFinance...
