Crowdfunding

Since the emergence of crowdfunding on the European market it’s been a solid choice for startups and SMBs who are looking to raise their capital. . In 2015, the Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the EC described crowdfunding as “an open call for the collecting of resources (funds, money, tangible goods, time) from the population at large through an Internet platform. In return for their contributions, the crowd can receive a number of tangible or intangible benefits, which depend on the type of crowdfunding”.

Although the crowdfunding industry is extremely diversified the basic mechanisms for the preparation and launch of a crowdfunding campaign remain the same among all models. Generaly crowdfunding platforms provide an infrastructure for posting the projects online and raising the funds.
