The rise of alternative financing platforms and methods such as Microfinance, Crowfunding and Peer-to-Peer Lending have clearly set a paradigm shift in motion. We seem no longer need a financial institution to sit in between people to transact and move money. This shift seems to permeate in many areas of financing such as helping a family in a third world country lift themselves out of poverty, fund a gallery display from an amazing artist from New York City, invest in creditworthy consumer loans or even provide venture capital to entrepreneurs.

Four companies that have pioneered in this space will meet to debate the future of financing: how will this shift transform the way we exchange money, who will benefit or need to evolve? What does it mean to the existing financial models and industries?
The Next Generation Financing MarketPlaces panel will take place in New York City on Tuesday November 30th with @LendingClub @SecondMarket @IndieGoGo @davidsrose from New York Angels.

The world of finance is also flat, to paraphrase Thomas Friedman.
