Isn't crowd-funding just changing names to ICO? I'm not saying it's any better, just that there's as much talk about it now as there was for crowd-funding. Curious what the numbers are for that in comparison, and what percentage of seed stage was crowd-funded.

The term crowd funding is not being replaced by ICO. ICO is just one method of crowd funding.

Donation based funding verses decentralized equity.. And we're not going to say one is better.. Crypto has become so politically incorrect on this forum that we now have to preface logical observations with these sorts of disclosures to avoid the downvote brigade.

If we look at the crypto market cap it becomes clear where early stage capital is going. To where the innovation is happening. But you'd never realize it based on this echo chamber.

Edit: And your comment is in the negative. Keep it real HN

Equity based funding is available on traditional platforms: https://equity.indiegogo.com/
