Date 03/10/2013

1. What is crowdfunding?

Crowdfunding is an emerging alternative form of financing that connects directly those who can give, lend or invest money with those who need financing for a specific project. It usually refers to open calls through the internet to the wider public to finance specific projects. Promoters of an initiative can collect funds directly; however, a web-based intermediary, a so-called ‘crowdfunding platform’, will often assist in publishing campaigns and collecting funds. In exchange they often charge a fee. While calls for funds to the public are not new, the phenomenon of using the internet to directly connect with funders emerged recently. Crowdfunding can take many forms, ranging from simple donations or rewards-based schemes through to pre-sales, peer-to-peer lending and investments in equity.
