NEXTGEN CROWDFUNDING PRESENTS IGNITION 1.0: A LIVE-STREAM EVENT FROM #SXSW. We always love new and creative uses of the Internet. But crowdfunded IPOs? They do exist. This event at South by Southwest in Austin, Texas (my soon-to-be-backyard) will be showcasing five soon-to-be-going-public companies. The event will be streamed live starting at 1:30 PM PDT from L.A. and then 2:00 PM PDT from Austin. More info about crowdfunded IPOs can be found here.
