Description:

Crowdfunding websites (also known as crowd sourcing and crowd financing websites), are websites where people can network and pool their money to invest or donate towards a business, project or cause.

Crowdfunding sites have been used to invest in high tech startup companies, and invest in commercial and/or artistic projects such as software development (applications and video games), music albums, movies, and TV shows. Crowdfunding sites have also been used to fund various non-profit causes such as political causes, disaster relief, poverty alleviation, environmental efforts, scientific research and civic projects.

There are a variety of funding models of crowdfunding, including AoN (All or Nothing, where funds are only gathered if the total amount pledged reaches the specified target), and KiA (Keep it All, where the funds are handed over regardless of whether or not the funding target has been reached). There are also a variety of returns models, including equity (where the investor owns part of the company or venture), property (where the investor receives interests in the property, but doesnâ€™t necessarily own it), loans (where the investor receives interest on the money they lend to a business), and rewards (usually for an artistic project, where an investor/donator receives special gifts in return for their contribution).
