Crowdfunding has changed the way the world does business. Both reward-based crowdfunding for fledgling entrepreneurs, and equity crowdfunding for investors, are succeeding spectacularly in Israel because the support communities here are very strong for everything from technology and medical advances and creative arts and social action.

Zack Miller, partner and head of investor community at OurCrowd, and Danny Or, projects and support team manager at Headstart, spoke with ISRAEL21c’s Viva Sarah Press about the growing phenomenon on TLV1 Radio.
