FIWARE.Request.Collabora. FIWARE and the Creation of an Open Source Crowdfunding Administration Platform for European Funding Initiatives,

    Details

      Description

      Dear Fiware

      We are currently involved in a consortium for EU CAPS funding of which part
      of our proposal includes:

      The Creation of an *Open Source Crowdfunding Administration Platform for
      European Funding Initiatives *is being led by a social and sustainable
      equity crowdfunding platform called www.oneplanetcrowd.com from The
      Netherlands.

      Our main objective is to build an open-source crowdfunding administration
      system to administer obligations from entrepreneurs back to the
      crowdfunders, to distribute repayments of loans, to distribute capital from
      exit of shares and to have access to a detailed overview of portfolios.

      As an open source administrative solution CROWDOS will offer a modular
      solution for backend integration to both current open source and
      proprietary solutions in the market via code base and APIs.

      Standalone, it would have both a backend and frontend component where
      crowdfunding companies would access and use the former while investors
      could use that latter to consolidate and view their different investments
      across different platforms.

      The rapid rise in equity crowdfunding in Europe has led to enormous
      fragmentation in the market in terms of software with individual European
      crowdfunding companies primarily building proprietary versions of their
      platforms. This is not only duplicitous, it is also ineffective in terms of
      cost and sheer human resources besides that there is a lack of
      standardisation in terms of user experience for European investors and
      project owners who use these services.

      Making the shift from building proprietary software to building Open Source
      is new terrain for our company. It would be interesting to know if there's
      any kind of fit between the resources of FIWARE, in hardware, software and
      human resources (advisory) in helping us facilitate the project once
      funded.

      We have an ICT team in place, with a lot of experience in banking software
      which is well suited for the project, but we could use more advice on our
      Open Source strategy and how to ensure we move in the right direction in
      terms of making sure our CROWDOS platform can be well disseminated amongst
      those who perhaps want to build future crowdfunding platforms in Europe and
      ensure we are also using all the potential resources that exist -
      particularly in the H2020 realm.

      We are interested in further talks on potential collaboration in the
      future.

      Please advise on next steps.

      Warm Regards

      • Richard Kastelein*
