CORPORATE VCs VS ONLINE CROWDFUNDING: a perspective. While many disagree with me, I continue to bet that Crowdfunding will dip its toe unto technology R&D companies such as Biopharma in the future. This is most akin to buying publicly traded stock in a company like Genentech. The consumer rarely understands the technical risks while making such an investment.
