FUNDING
TIPS
Have you heard? You can get your
business started, your project funded,
and your dream advanced all without a
bank loan, a government grant, or a tin
cup. Want to know more?
Crowdfunding; where lots of people
contribute small amounts of money
to help fund a start-up, a project, or
a social cause. The crowdfunding
industry is global. There are
literally millions of projects being
successfully funded as you read this
article. What about you?
In 2014 crowdfunding is expected to
finish off the year nearing $10 billion
in online funding.
To me that sounds like opportunity
knocking. There are a number of
crowdfunding platforms to choose
from. In fact within the USA alone
there are over 450 crowdfunding
platforms. While Kickstarter.com
and Indegogo.com are the largest
today, Atlanta has its own female
entrepreneur who launched
Kenectit.com in December 2013.
Kenectit’s niche is supporting
start-ups, creative projects, and
social causes that have community
impact. They offer guidance and
support services from beginning to
end to help with the planning and
technology used to run a successful
campaign.
