Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) February 24, 2014

On February 21, 2014, host Michelle Matthews of Growth Matters on Business RadioX® welcomed to the studio David Lilenfeld with SterlingFunder and Mark Shekerow with CareGiver Communications for a tutorial on crowdfunding.

David Lilenfeld is Co-Founder and CEO of SterlingFunder, an Atlanta-based equity and debt crowdfunding portal with an innovative approach to connecting startup companies seeking capital with qualified investors. According to Lilenfeld, “Our mission is to be the catalyst for business growth, economic development and job creation through the power of the crowd. We provide the platform, education and tools to shift the power from Wall Street to Main Street.”

As a lawyer, investor and entrepreneur, Lilenfeld recognizes the enormous effect crowdfunding will have on businesses and individual investors across the country and eventually the world. Explained Lilenfeld, “When The JOBS Act – which makes equity-based crowdfunding legal in the United States – became law, I began planning a way to help match passionate, smart entrepreneurs with intelligent, growth-minded investors in a union that has been unduly burdensome to make before crowdfunding.”

Also in the studio was Mark Shekerow, CEO at CareGiver Communications, Inc., an organization that provides information that helps improve the lives of caregivers and those that they care for. They provide a low cost way for local and national companies that provide goods and services for the 60 million caregivers nationwide to reach this $ 300 billion market. According to Shekerow, “We have evolved from a regional magazine based business to a multi-media company with emphasis on the internet, internet radio, TV and a national publication.”

As part of that growth, Shakerow explained, “We’ve been working on the business for a number of years, and we’re to a point where we need additional funding to grow, and that’s why we’re pursuing crowdfunding.”

David Levinson, CrowdSource CFO, Earns Nod for St. Louis Business Journals 2013 CFO of the Year Award


Swansea, Illinois (PRWEB) May 15, 2013

Each year, the Saint Louis Business Journal nominates business leaders for its CFO of the Year awards program. This year’s nominees demonstrated excellence in contributing to their company’s growth and profitability, as well as contributions to other areas of corporate management. David Levinson, CFO of CrowdSource, is one of three finalists selected in the small corporation division (revenue below $ 99.9 million).

“It is an honor to be nominated alongside some of the best and brightest CFOs in the Saint Louis area,” noted Levinson. “Truly, this award is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the entire CrowdSource team.”

Under David’s leadership, revenue grew 900% in 2012 and is forecasted to grow 600% in 2013. Furthermore, during 2012, David raised $ 12.5 million in Series A funding from Highland Capital Partners, which represented the highest company valuation in the industry and the largest capital raise among its competitors. The capital raise will allow CrowdSource to continue expanding its scalable content solutions for enterprise clients.

Stephanie Leffler, CEO of CrowdSource, understands firsthand the knowledge and expertise David brings to the table as CFO of CrowdSource. “David not only provides financial expertise, but also brings a wealth of experience to our leadership team,” noted Leffler. “His past experience with Ernst & Young offered him a window into the inner workings of a number of businesses, which has helped tremendously with the rapid growth of CrowdSource.”

In addition to leading CrowdSource’s financial operations, David leads corporate development, legal, human resources and facilities management.
