After a summer of discontent among the StartJoin faithful the long awaited launch of version two of the site is almost upon us!
The idea of crowdfunding is not a new one but what is really revolutionary with Startjoin is the ability of a user in Ohio to help a project owner in Mali without the need for banks or any financial institution. At the drivers wheel of this most exiting crypto start up that helps start ups is the legendary Karl Gray (the wise investor rumoured to have 'hodled' 100,000 Bitcoins)
The traditional financial system has all but forgotten the real drivers of economic growth. They have instead opted for the perceived safer bet of lending money into the property market. Entrepreneur have had to turn to alternative finance in order to get their dreams up and running
Some of the notable start ups to have raised money on StartJoin are crypto instant exchange ShapeShift, Venture Capital Goliath Bitcoin Capital and Bitmari. We have also seen some more altruistic projects such as Chris Ellis and his full node projects along with Karl Gray raising money to prevent a copyright of LTC.
Having overcome some pretty big obstacles in the last year and a half including a hack and the departure of their founding developer Jamie it now looks like StartJoin and its loyal community are ready to take not just the crypto world but the whole world by storm as we approach 2017.
There is talk of some pretty big partnerships with AID:TECH leading the charge having paired with some of the largest NGOs on the planet.
In the words of the famous maverick broadcaster Max Keiser- "Start a revolution, Join a revolution"
