"Hi Cate, I think crowdsourcing is probably the one of these most often talked about today. That's probably partly because it at least seems like the one most accessible to small startups without the wherewithal to go after venture funding. Equally inaccessible to a lot of starting entrepreneurs without any support or connections are things like corporate investment or venture debt.
