This article talks about how an online website called Motif helps two 11 year old create the highest performing motif. This motif was supposed to be a competition among almost MBA grads, however the winner were two 11 year old children. The article also talked about how their website makes investments a lot easier and through the data they are able to collect, they can analyze trends on how people invests on their website and collect useful information from it.

This blog post fits in with the day we learnt about entrepreneurs and how they always need start up money and a direction to go for. For example. at this time Ebola became a huge matter, maybe firms might want to start developing better drugs for this sickness. Just like kickstarter where other people are able to view your projects, motif allows others to view your “motif” and invest on it. There are a lot of categories that interests investors, they can then decide on how much they want to invest.

After reading the blog, I believe that investing got a lot easier and it does not limit to just businessmen or businesswomen with lots of knowledge on investing to be able to complete this task. We see children, people with other occupation with very little knowledge on investment able to earn same or even more than professional investors. I believe that this website creates a lot more opportunities for people who likes to invest and for entrepreneurs to learn.

Lastly, I would like to talk about how they can use this data that they collected to help investors in the future. This is just like marketing, collecting data from surveys and make a better judgement on a solution or what to do for the next step.
