My guest today is Preston Troutt, the founder of the innovative crowdfunding platform, Crowdsurf.
Preston is a dynamic entrepreneur aiming to transform how we invest in creators, turning the conventional investor model on its head.
In this episode, we'll explore how Crowdsurf allows fans and followers to invest directly in their favorite creators, the origin of this groundbreaking idea, and how the model works.
We'll dive into the platform's progress, the types of creators raising funds, and share some success stories.
Preston will also discuss transparency for investors, including income tracking and investor protections.
We'll tackle some challenges creators face in monetizing their content, and discuss how Crowdsurf addresses these issues. Plus, we'll cover who can invest, the minimum investment required, and the criteria used to select creators.
Furthermore, Preston will shed light on navigating the regulatory landscape with SEC and FINRA compliance, managing investment risks, and supporting creators to ensure long-term growth.
We'll also explore the distribution of revenue to investors and Preston's vision for the future of Crowdsurf and the creator economy's impact on traditional industries.
