Q. How does it works:

A. While Crowdfunding does have its ups and downs, it still might be the right path to your success, both as a startup organizer or as a donor or investor.

To put it in simple terms, crowdfunding is the modern-day equivalent of tossing some change into a hat to help fund a cause.
Crowdfunding brings many small investors or donors together to raise money to fund a business, a startup, charity or an investment. The concept is not new, it is simply where a large number of individuals pooling their efforts and money in small amounts via a platform.

Q. Types of crowdfunding: There are four main types of crowdfunding.

A. The Reward-based crowdfunding: Here the investors or Backers as the are more commonly called give money to a project and receive a tangible item or service in return.
 
The Equity-based crowdfunding: Here Investors receive a small stake in the company, usually in the form of shares. These types of projects are usually regulated by the financial authorities of the country so as to protect investors. Please ensure this is the case for any equity based projects listed on our platform.

The Debt-based crowdfunding:  This is like a peer-to-peer lending situation, where the Backers lend money to a specific project or business with the understanding that the money will be repaid with interest.

The Donation-based crowdfunding: Here is where individuals can donate to causes, projects, or organizations without expecting anything in return.
