Crowdfunding is a great way to get projects up and running. Some of the greatest business ideas have used crowdfunding to progress their business - and local ones too! The likes of Brewdog with their 'equity for punks' share scheme is a great example. For some this is a scary unknown area but for others it's a exciting new fundraising platform. Over the next few months I'm going to be sharing more information on crowdfunding and what it can do for your business. But to start with here's a semi local project for you to have a look at. I've promised to support this project. Maybe you'd consider it too

My reasons for supporting a crowdfunding venture vary from it being a project I'm interested in to a new start business that could use a wee lift up to something as simple as brilliantly simple rewards (and there are some amazing ones out there)
It only takes a few minutes to help these projects but be warned it's addictive looking through them all! There are various platforms that these can be found. From Bloom VC to Kickstarter. But go have a look you'll be amazed what you can find.
And if you are considering crowdfunding but don't know where to start. Give me a shout for a chat and we'll soon have you on the path to funding your first project.
