Don't Miss your Opportunity at the Crowdfunding Revolution
The internet revolution connected the world. The social media revolution has connected people. The crowdfunding revolution will change the way we think about finance to connect backers with entrepreneurs and nonprofit organizations.
Less than 3% of small business owners are taking advantage of the crowdfunding revolution and many nonprofit organizations are missing out on the opportunity. Worse still is that when many finally decide to launch a crowdfunding campaign, it's based on the myriad of misconceptions about crowdsourcing and raising money from the crowd.
Don't jump into the crowdfunding revolution thinking you're going to raise $50,000 with the next potato salad campaign on Kickstarter.
