Very interesting. I wonder what new forms/stages of funding will become available as micro-lending becomes a more widely accepted form of investment. I wonder if you could build some sort of "micro-lending" pool. A fund for investors in the 20-200 dollar range. (pulling numbers out of thin air) While slightly riskier than traditional micro-lending the individual financial burden is light. It's a numbers game of course, if such a company had a good enough selection process it could be a good investment. I believe there is no limit of sellable ideas, only a limit to how many can be found and exploited, and only a very practical limit to how small a profitable venture can be. It would be very nice to see a vast sea of startups and an economy driven by a higher volume of investors that thrives on change, new ideas and a thorough profit-motivated vetting process. I believe such an economy would be much more resilient.
