If you're a tech #earlyadopter, you can find great new tech on crowdfunding websites.

#SevenoaksTownCouncil, in Kent, hopes crowdfunding will help ensure The Stag Theatre, a community arts centre, remains available for "future generations."
My connection to the place is that it's where I first saw US blues guitarist #WalterTrout.

Long-term blockchain growth depends on more than market attention.
Real utility, adoption, network activity and continued development all play a part in creating an ecosystem that can grow over time.

What makes #EquityCrowdfunding succeed or fail?
The two largest UK platforms regularly reject 9 out of 10 applicants. Founders who get through need a core group of committed backers already lined up, and documented evidence for every claim in their pitch.

It was great to hand £1,800 over to the @RNLI's Tower Lifeboat Station. This was money raised from organising an open-invitation yacht race on the River Thames.
Next year it will be on Sunday June 27. Feel free to ask me about sponsorship opportunities.
