      The Road Here

      The Road Ahead

      Book Abstract

      MAIN IDEA

      Crowdfunding is a new and more collaborative way to secure funding for projects. It can be used in a variety of ways:

      To solicit donations for a worthy cause anywhere in the world.

      To generate funding for a project with the contributors then becoming partners in the project or adventure being undertaken.

      To pre-sell copies of a book or CD in order to fund the cost of production and distribution.

      To finance a startup or even an established company in return for an equity stake in the company’s future cash flows.

      In essence, crowdfunding is the fusion of social networking and venture capitalism. In just the same way as social networks have rewritten the conventional rules about how people communicate and interact with each other, crowdfunding in all its variations has the potential to rewrite the rules on how businesses and other projects get funded in the future.

      Crowdfunding can be viewed as the democratization of business financing. Instead of restricting capital sourcing and allocation to a relatively small and entrenched minority, crowdfunding empowers everyone connected to the Internet to tap into both the collective wisdom and the pocketbooks of everyone else who connects to the Internet.

      In the same way that social networking changed how we allocate time, crowdfunding will change how we allocate capital.
