THE UK LEADS IN CROWDFUNDING. It was only a few years ago that the British Consulate brought a trade delegation of UK stem cell companies to Silicon Valley. At the reception, every CEO I spoke to had scientifically cutting-edge technology, but were completely stifled by the lack of capital in the UK. Things have changed even in this short time, and it is encouraging to see the UK lead in at least one aspect of funding. http://www.ukbusinessangelsassociation.org View in LinkedIn

Many thousands of victims are sucked in annually, and most never recover, and bankruptcy and even suicide are not uncommon. NEVER advance money for "fees" associated with an investment offer to an online group you do not know. Follow common-sense precautions such as those listed in this article. http://lnkd.in/ygUr7t View in LinkedIn

AN INEXPENSIVE FUEL CELL SUITABLE FOR POOR COUNTRIES. This delightfully simple device has been designed for the real world: simple, cheap, able to run on dirty water and sunlight, and suitable for a single household. It converts sunlight into oxygen and hydrogen as a source for energy. Too many of these inventions are over-engineered and loose sight of the end user. http://lnkd.in/KqUmgm View in LinkedIn
