Go to the Market
In recent years, companies like IndieGoGo, Kickstarter, Crowdfunder, and Patreon have changed the way projects get funded. Gone are the days of having to find an angel investor, or take out a personal loan on your home. It is now possible to go directly to the public and receive “crowd-funding” for a project.
The primary benefit is control and ownership of the project. On the popular show “Shark Tank”, product developers often sell off large portions of their company in order to fund their idea. They then control the culture, direction, and vision of the company. Often times founders get pushed out of their own idea by investors.
Why? Because investors claim to know what the market wants, and how best to make that happen. Crowd-funding skips investors, and goes directly to customers. By going directly to the customers, you retain ownership. Above that, you will learn whether you have a viable product/service that the market is willing to support.
