Crowdfunding Bitcoin
You have a great idea. You have a business plan. You now need finance to get started. Where can you go to get finance?
How about:
Self-funding.
Banks.
Angel Investors.
Friends and Family.
Crowdfunding.
Consider the Options
All great options. You can attempt to utilise one of the above, or all of the above, or any combination of the four options.
Some may work.
- Self-funding only works if you have existing funds.
- Banks can be hard to extract money from.
- Angel Investors are an option if you are prepared to part with equity in your proposed business.
- Friends and Family are a great choice but there is the risk that you may lose Friends and Family if things go belly-up.
- Crowdfunding is a great option.
If you can get the crowd on your side, and behind you, then small donations from many people can add up, and make things happen. You can crowdfund on many platforms. And crowdfund in many currencies.
For this article we will focus on crowdfunding Bitcoin.
