Ìý

What is Crowdfunding?

Ìý

Crowdfunding is a way for startups to raise money by opening it up to public investors. Through this, they essentially collect small amounts of capital from a large number of people, rather than bigger amounts from a handful of investors.

To incentivise people to invest in their company, startups might offer specific perks like exclusive features, merchandise or discounts.

Ìý

Why Do Startups Crowdfund?

Ìý

Startups like to crowdfund for a number of reasons.

Firstly, it’s an easier way to access capital, without having to get loans or struggle to get noticed by a VC.

Additionally, a strong crowdfund could help validate the idea, whilst also engaging their target audience. Because they have a vested interest in the company doing well, these investors usually turn into loyal customers.

Crowdfunding is also a great marketing tactic, with many companies gaining press coverage and more widespread awareness due to the crowdfund.

But mostly, crowdfunding allows startups to access capital without having to answer to a pool of investors that will likely want control in how the business is run.

So, what opportunities are live at the moment?
