Crowd funding is a game-changer for entrepreneurs the cash-strapped world over. It could be the difference between failure and success for your start-up idea. In the last two years I’ve had considerable exposure to the world of crowdfunding and have been lucky to meet a number of crowd-funding CEO’s and experts. I have seen first hand how effective it can be and not just for raising finance, but for marketing, business administration and in a host of other ways.

Great post and explanation of what crowd-funding is all about. I love the the concept of crowd funding but wonder if it lends itself more to certain types of businesses/ideas. But as I think about it again, this may be down to the fact that it hasn't really reached more main stream businesses just yet.

Hi Niall,

Love the idea of crowd-funding and what a great post here explaining a bit more about it! I do suspect some businesses may be more successful with this strategy than others but this may be only until crowd-funding has hit its tipping point.
