Crowdcube allows you to create projects which transfer equity to investors at different 'reward' levels.
Two examples :
1. Mini-bonds:

You can put money into Chilango and get 8% interest for 4 years. Not bad, I'd say as long as they don't default.
2. Equity

You can invest in a startup airline to get some equity before it actually takes off.
I assumed this was going to be the next step in crowdsourcing and so it has begun.
I see a lot of people putting money in and never seeing it again as 50% of startups fial within a year or something, but as with kickstarter, we might see some interesting projects come up.
