Catalyst for Market Collapses & Economic Turmoil
• Did you know that in during the roaring twenties:– 60% of cars were bought on installment
credit – 70% of furniture was bought on
installment credit– 80% of household appliances were
bought on installment credit – Between 1925 and 1929 the total
amount of outstanding installment credit more than doubled from $1.38 billion to approximately $3 billion
– The stock market grew 657% as investors raced to invest in companies, that sold products no one fully paid for, on a mere 10% margin

Did a Bubble Burst in the Middle of a FinTech Revolution?
NO! It’s merely a sign that the industry needs to explore news ways to scale
![Page 12: The Catalyst that will Enable Crowdfinance to Scale](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042907/58708f061a28ab412b8b519b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The Catalyst(s) that Birthed Crowdfinance
Two Events that Redefined Global Finance
![Page 13: The Catalyst that will Enable Crowdfinance to Scale](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042907/58708f061a28ab412b8b519b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Catalyst that fueled the Facebook buying frenzy
![Page 14: The Catalyst that will Enable Crowdfinance to Scale](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042907/58708f061a28ab412b8b519b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• P2P / Marketplace Lending has been nothing short of a phenomenon
• According to Morgan Stanley, in the US, marketplace loan origination has doubled every year since 2010, to $12 billion in 2014. Meanwhile, the trend is playing out globally, notably in Australia, China and the UK. All-told, such lending could command $150 billion to $490 billion globally by 2020.
• Venture Capital firm, Foundation Capital, predicts that by 2025, $1 trillion in loans will be originated online globally
The Catalyst that Transformed Global Credit Markets
![Page 15: The Catalyst that will Enable Crowdfinance to Scale](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042907/58708f061a28ab412b8b519b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The Catalyst that Fuels Crowdfinance
The Demand for Economic Equality
![Page 16: The Catalyst that will Enable Crowdfinance to Scale](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042907/58708f061a28ab412b8b519b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Catalyst for Increasing Wealth Disparity
![Page 17: The Catalyst that will Enable Crowdfinance to Scale](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042907/58708f061a28ab412b8b519b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Equity Markets are Unjust
![Page 18: The Catalyst that will Enable Crowdfinance to Scale](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042907/58708f061a28ab412b8b519b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Equity Markets are Unjust
STAGGERING FACTS ABOUT UBER:
• Uber is now worth 4 times the value of publicly-held Hertz and Avis combined. In fact, privately-held Uber is valued higher than 80% of the S&P 500.
• Uber raised a $1.25M seed round on AngelList in 2010 at a $4M valuation. Only accredited investors were allowed to participate. A $10,000 investment in Uber on AngelList in 2010 would be worth $127,500,000 today!
• With over $8B of institutional dollars invested into Uber thus far, Uber is one of the fastest growing companies in history. Yet not one Uber share is appreciating in a small retail investor’s retirement portfolio. Not one.
• Uber is not an anomaly. Companies today create value far faster than ever before. Unfortunately, they are creating value only for those investors who the Government deems as “worthy” of accessing growth stocks.
![Page 19: The Catalyst that will Enable Crowdfinance to Scale](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042907/58708f061a28ab412b8b519b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
• Small businesses can no longer rely on banks for loans
• With interest rates at historic lows, investors can’t afford to be weighted in traditional fixed-income assets
Credit markets are just as flawed and unjust as public equity markets

“Qualified” Investors Have Been Flocking to Alternatives

“Tough Noogies” is NOT a Solution!
• The best solution that our brightest economic minds have to offer is:
– “Investors simply need to lower their expectations.”
– “People simply need to save more Money.”
![Page 25: The Catalyst that will Enable Crowdfinance to Scale](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042907/58708f061a28ab412b8b519b/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
The Solution – Democratize Access to Tax-Deferred Alternative Investing
• Legislation– Reg A+– Title III Crowdfunding– Intrastate Crowdfunding– HR 2187
• Financial Innovation– Crowd-centric retail alternative
products
• Financial Technology – Making tax-deferred micro
alternative investing simple and affordable

Alternative investment products AND access to these products have been escalating

And now, we finally have a “modern” retirement vehicle for a new FinTech driven
industry

CLOUD BASED SERVICES
The scalability of all crowdfinance platforms will ultimately depend upon their ability to penetrate the $14 trillion retirement market!
Cloud-based ISCP™ is the retirement vehicle for the next-generation alternative asset investor

This modern SDIRA can do for crowdfinance today what the IRA and 401k had done for
mutual funds 30+ years ago – allow an nascent asset class balloon into a multi-trillion dollar
industry

History is Repeating

The Retirement Market
• $14 Trillion - 50 million IRA accounts
• Households $200,000+ own 80% of IRA worth
• Less than 1% are investing through Self-Directed IRA’s
• More than 99% of equity, P2P or real estate crowd funding are investing with tax inefficient cash accounts paying full taxes every year
![Page 35: The Catalyst that will Enable Crowdfinance to Scale](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042907/58708f061a28ab412b8b519b/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
The New IRA and 401(k) Market
$7.6 trillion in IRAs$450 billion annually in IRA rollovers from retiring 401k’s
Total IRAs savings Total 401(k) savings Total savings in retirement accounts
$6.8 trillion in 401(k)s
Combined $14 trillion in retirement accounts.
![Page 36: The Catalyst that will Enable Crowdfinance to Scale](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042907/58708f061a28ab412b8b519b/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
For every $1 in a personal checking and savings account, there is over $12 in an individuals
retirement savings account

So What’s the Problem?
• Process: – Technology is based on 40 year old banking legacy IT systems – 3 steps – Open account, Fund account, Investment Direction – 4-6-8 weeks– No integration from Platform to SDIRA Custodian– Two accounts needed
• Pricing: – Manual process is labor intensive– Business model is annual fees (open-$50-100, Per asset $100-495 Per Year, AUM quarterly-$50,
Transaction-$100 Per)
• Promotion: • SDIRA Custodians are “nonfiduciary” trust Co.’s and are PROHIBITED from promoting Client
Acquisition• Assets Under Management:
– Goes to SDIRA Custodian-No RIA’s
• Non-Scalable:– systems are geared to retail account “one-offs”
![Page 38: The Catalyst that will Enable Crowdfinance to Scale](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042907/58708f061a28ab412b8b519b/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
What’s Out There Currently?
• A “landing page” is not FinTech:– The landing page on the platform captures client data for the platform. IRA holder
must then print out application, transfer and investment direction, mail it to the platform who mails it to the SDIRA Custodian to begin 4-6-8 week process
• Pricing:– some “deals” with platforms (currently less than 10) that will charge $150 – 250 per
asset, if not regular retail pricing
• Promotion: – Two custodians offer website links for their clients which is prohibited and has
resulted in zero net new clients for platforms
• AUM: – Assets are held with the SDIRA Custodian - keeping Registered and Independent
Advisors from participating in client distribution
![Page 39: The Catalyst that will Enable Crowdfinance to Scale](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042907/58708f061a28ab412b8b519b/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
The IRA Services Cloud Platform (ISCP™) Solution
• White-labeled solution: “Your website” IRA
• Cloud-based API: Your Client NEVER leaves your site
• One Account: Yours!
• Lowest Pricing in Industry: 25 bps or $100 Flat
• Scalable: 250,000 accounts per hour
• Facilitates both taxable & non-taxable accounts: – Both retirement and non-retirement account holding
– Both private securities and publicly traded
![Page 40: The Catalyst that will Enable Crowdfinance to Scale](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042907/58708f061a28ab412b8b519b/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
As Peter Hinssen explains it: “Organizations need to become networks themselves. It is the only way they will equal the speed of the complex adaptive systems that their
market have become.”
