Equity crowdfunding is now &quot;live,&quot; or getting there. This will bring more money in at the seed stage. I wonder how this will affect the larger ecosystem?<p>Seems like we might see a shift away from a few &quot;unicorns&quot; to an ecosystem with more smaller to medium sized companies trying more things. That&#x27;s probably good, and is probably more likely to produce more Googles and Facebooks than betting the entire farm on a few dozen over-inflated ventures.<p>Of course the future is also likely to be more geographically diverse. Silicon Valley might no longer just be in Silicon Valley. That&#x27;s also a good thing.
