What is Crowdfunding?

Crowdfunding is the recent buzzword in the start-up space. But what exactly does it mean? Kickstarting your business needs capital and one way to do this is following “Pennies from many” which is nothing but crowdfunding. It is a financing method that involves funding a project or business with relatively modest contributions from a large group of individuals, rather than seeking substantial sums from a small number of investors. Convincing the large group of people is a challenge here. The key is to get them involved in your idea and convince them of a reward. The best crowdfunding projects get people talking about them and the investment follows on.

What are the benefits of Crowdfunding?

Crowdfunding can be used to great success to get innovative ideas transformed into business so that entrepreneurs can monetize on them. Crowdfunding not only gets you the money but it also reaches your idea to large number of people before you even kickstart your business. It gives you a sound food at the very start of your business with an already-committed audience for your business. It helps you get funding for your project without getting in debt. Rather than reaching out to banks you reach out to people who are genuinely interested in your idea and thus have higher chances of them sticking with you all times.
