Reality Crowd TV Host, Manolis Sfinarolakis, Shares Vision and Top 10 Predictions for the Crowdfunding Industry in 2014

HARTFORD, CT--(Marketwired - Dec 27, 2013) - Like many immigrants, the Sfinarolakis family moved to the United States to live out the American dream. As a small boy, Manolis Sfinarolakis watched his parents navigate their way through the trials and tribulations of becoming entrepreneurs as they launched Constantine's, a family-owned and funded Greek restaurant. When his family needed money to renovate their restaurant and the banks would not give them a small business loan, Manolis learned the hard way about borrowing money from the wrong people.

Throughout Manolis' professional career in real estate, accounting and auditing positions, he learned firsthand how expensive and difficult the process was to take companies public through the Initial Public Offering (IPO) process.

On October 23, 2013, when Manolis received the SEC press release announcing unanimous approval of Title III equity crowdfunding rules, a torch began burning inside him to begin building a new business venture that would help promote the nascent crowdfunding industry.

The Reality Crowd TV team has written a reality TV show synopsis and is now planning its own crowdfunding campaign that will begin on January 14, 2014 to raise money to put together a professional pitch video and conduct a nationwide crowdfunding road show tour to raise awareness for the crowdfunding grassroots movement.

To raise money for the movement, the Reality Crowd TV show will be stopping at numerous cities throughout the United States and filming crowdfunding subject matter experts, conducting panel discussions and working with state, city and local officials to hold crowdfunding town hall meetings.

The crowdfunding campaign is currently setting up dates, locations, and guest appearances. Interested parties can sign up for consideration at www.RealityCrowdTV.com or by calling (203) 232-2462.
