Sample Book Insights: #1 The crowdfunding model was used in art as far back as the 18th century. In 1783, Mozart attempted to perform three new pieces of piano concertos at a concert hall in Vienna, but he failed to collect enough funding. #2 The crowdfunding model is different from the classic practices of the past in three aspects. First, the internet makes the campaigns dramatically more visible and accessible to all. Second, potential contributors can see the level of support from other people before making their own funding decisions. #3 crowdfunding has allowed creators with different backgrounds to come together and fund their projects. This has opened up new opportunities for creativity that wouldn’t have been available before the internet era. #4 crowdfunding is an initiative for fundraising. It is a new type of financing approach using new channels. It is conducted for a campaign of a creator. The scope of creators in the crowdfunding context is broader, including but not limited to entrepreneurs, artists, and social enterprises.

Since the day the first human being approached a prospective investor, the province of capital allocation has been controlled by a small and entrenched minority. All this has changed. Now, the power of the Internet—particularly social media—enables anyone to connect with more investors in less time than it used to take to connect with one. The investing pool is open, everyone is in—and The Crowdfunding Revolution shows how to get to the forefront of the new world of venture financing. This groundbreaking guide explains how the explosive growth of connectivity is obviating human-to-human networks and centralized planning of capital allocation—and describes how crowdfunding can be used to tap into a “collective intelligence” for far superior results. Providing a wealth of information that will make your crowdfunding efforts more efficient and productive, the book is organized into three thematic sections: THE ROAD HERE: A thorough overview of what crowdfunding is—and how and why this radical new approach is replacing traditional means of venture financing THE CROWDFUNDING CAMPAIGN: Proven methods for marketing to the crowd, setting clear objectives, building a crowdfunding team, and communicating in a way that inspires action THE ROAD AHEAD: The crowdfunding ecosystem, intellectual property issues, mining collective IQ, new investment models, and regulations More than 2 billion people globally are now active online—and that number is guaranteed to grow at an extraordinary rate. The Crowdfunding Revolution explains all the ins and outs of raising investment capital by using social media and new technologies to draw small sums of money from an almost countless number of sources. Organic. Transparent. Decentralized. This is crowdfunding. This is the future. Read The Crowdfunding Revolution and become the first expert in your crowd on this radical new approach poised to supplant age-old venture financing methods.
