Crowdfunding is a process of raising money for a start up or high growth business, generally from a large number of investors that invest small amounts of money. Unlike traditional methods of raising finance, crowdfunding is innovative and based on the concept of raising funding via ‘crowds’ of people. Most ‘crowdfunders’ view their funding contribution as an investment into the business venture. In return, they will be rewarded with a return on their investment and or equity in the business. Crowdfunding is becoming very popular because it’s a great alternative way of raising money quickly especially if you are struggling to get investors, or the right terms.
Crowdfunding enables start up or high growth business to attract investors by raising sums of money from a crowd of people who are willing to invest in the business. In order to start a crowdfunding campaign, there needs to be a specific business idea or concept, and a specific capital goal amount in place. Businesses and entrepreneurs can then ask or invite a number of people to donate various sums of money (small and large) until the crowdfunding goal is achieved. Crowdfunding happens online on via one of the many crowd-funding websites which are also known as Crowd Funding Intermediaries and ‘offers’ are generally communicated via social media so they can be widely shared and marketed at relatively low cost.
Some of the most popular business crowdfunding platforms include:
