Funding Options Explored
Funding
***We are currently not seeking to use the following sources as funding for iSPACES. However, they were considered during the initial brainstorming process***
What is Crowdfunding?• Accessing the collective funding power of a passionate and active
funding community• Through many small investments, any venture can become
funded as long as the venture has a compelling story and access to an audience of investors
• There are currently many websites which help with crowdfunding,. Most are focused on art, theater, and technology, but there are a number interested in global social ventures as well
Crowdfunding MethodsDefinitions
• Direct ownership of the enterprise is allowed.
• This model is very difficult due to financial regulations, some of the first equity based platforms have come to market.
• They enable direct investment and returns from investor to startup
• In many ways an equity model is the best model with regard to aligning investor and entrepreneur’s interests
• No ownership developed
• There is a previous agreement set where an investor receives a non-equity perk for investing– Example:
• Usually a protoype• Project specific
item, like a handwritten card or video
• Credit: Often done in film funding
• The investor transfers money to a bank that delivers micro-loans
• No equity is maintained, however, the entrepreneur has the obligation to pay back the loan
• After the bank receives the principal plus interest the intial loan is paid back to the investor
• This model is typically used to fund individuals who form small groups for the purpose of social capital
Equity Funding Incentive Funding Microfinancing
Crowdfunding MethodsExamples
• There are currently no functioning equity crowdfunding ventures active. However, crowdcube is attempting to do this in the near future.
