The financial technology (fintech) industry is on the rise. It's not only changing the way we handle our money, but it's also changing the way we invest. Fintech start-ups are revolutionizing the venture capital (VC) industry by making it more accessible to the common person.

Traditionally, VC has been the domain of wealthy investors and large institutions. It is fairly difficult for a common person to participate in the VC market due to:

• The high minimum investment requirements, and
• Lack of transparency

But fintech start-ups are changing the situation. This blog presents an overview of how this transformation is being manifested.

Democratizing venture capital through crowdfunding platforms
These platforms allow people to invest small amounts in a start-up, thus facilitating the entry of the common person into startup industry.

Crowdfunding platforms, such as Kickstarter, Indiegogo, and GoFundMe have been around for a while, but fintech start-ups, such as Infubiz are taking it to the next level by offering equity crowdfunding.

Democratizing venture capital through robo-advisors
Robo-advisors are digital platforms that provide investment advice and manage portfolios. These platforms use algorithms to analyze market data and make investment decisions, making it possible for the average person to access the same level of investment advice as large institutions. They offer low-cost investment options for the common person.
