Crowd-investing, what's the big fuss?

Crowdfunding/crowd-investing? What's the big fuss? or what is so embarrassing about it? And so what if FirnasAirways allows the crowd to get their fingers in the pie? The concept of crowd-investment is fascinating because it actually allows ordinary people to get involved in a collective effort and be part of something amazing, something they will use as a service and something that they can become an ambassador to!

Some people call themselves tech people yet they find it difficult to digest that an innovative airline too can use a crowd-investing platform, to centralise its initial funding round (angel) just like other businesses, back in the days people went to family and friends individually one by one to raise initial capital which was a daunting process and wasted lots of time and energy, as we advanced in technology, everything became about scalability & disruption, we started using online/internet/technology to do most of the things in our lives including day to day banking, ordering groceries to our doorstep, ordering a cab with few taps, ordering meals with few clicks, even ordering a private jet from your smartphone, likewise what used to be a daunting process and had no scalability or reachability (crowdfunding/crowd-investing offline) is now digitalised through the use of internet? Being on Eureeca platform has allowed Firnas Airways reach a global investor audience spanning from Australia to Ireland to the USA to India to Malaysia to the Middle East to Europe to Africa? is that a bad thing or a good thing? 

It is a fact that technology will revolutionize the way we go about our lives just the way it has in past decades, and now AI and blockchain technology will just add to that movement including the digitalization of currencies (Cryptocurrency).

So my suggestion to whoever is still skeptical about these crazy developments in tech space or are tip-toeing around the concept of a start-up airline raising initial funds online or the whole idea of investment platforms like Eureeca, #Crowdcube, #Seedrs, #SyndicateRoom, #Bnktothefuture and many more, to really dig deep and see what it's all about with an open mind! 

And by the way, when we say we are raising capital on Eureeca, that does not mean that's the end of the fundraising journey and is the only source of funds. It is one of the many early sources we are embracing as a start-up that will embrace technology in every facet of our operations! We have many fundraising tranches planned and from different sources, and crowd-investment is the first one, our next fundraising campaign that's planned for 2018 is going to be from strategic sources which will not allow the crowd to invest (now or never). If you want to review our private proposal here is the link, https://hubs.ly/H07C61x0, you need to make an account to request private information. You can invest from $500 up and this is an invitation to all my connections and their connections. /capital at risk.
