Thanks to everyone who came and took part in our Kickstarter Economy salon this week, where we explored how the ‘activist finance’ of crowdfunding was changing the way capital is raised forever. We even managed to bring together our own crowdfunding pitches for projects including a giant gold urinal honouring George Michael, which has to be an FH first.

Sam Jordison gave an excellent primer on the crowdfunding phenomenon – he runs the new publishing imprint Galley Beggar whose blend of new fiction and forgotten classics is well worth checking out. Our panel guests were Bobbie Johnson, whose project MATTER has just been bought by Medium, a company from Twitter founder Ev Williams; Gregory Vincent, founder of soon-to-be-multilingual platform Sponsume; and Martin Rich, director at Social Finance whose Social Impact Bonds are some of the most innovative and socially beneficial investment instruments available.

Below is a selection of the best tweets from the evening – thanks to all the tweeters for their thoughtful comments. And make sure to come along to our May salon, Zero Education, with details going live on Monday April 29.
