The Rise of Crowdfunding

Written by Casey Armstrong.

After the release of our crowdsourcing report on enterprise grade microtasking, Daily Crowdsource has been encouraged by crowdfunding companies from around the world to create a report that blasts open and examines the current state of crowdfunding. The excitement around the Entreprenuer Access to Capital Act  & the  rising popularity of donation platforms has made such information more valuable to companies, investors, and journalists than ever. This is why, going public for the first time, we are diving in head-first by launching a project on Rockethub to crowdfund our research.

In an emerging industry, such as the crowdfunding industry, research is pivotal to gain further insights in current practices in order to improve our service to our customers on a global scale...

The in-depth research report wil answer the flurry of questions coming into the crowdfunding arena:
  • What is the market size?
  • Who are the major players and how are they poised to grow?
  • How will H.R. 2930 affect current donation based platforms?
  • What can American companies learn from equity based platforms in Europe for when H.R. 2930 is passed?
  • What is a good taxonomy for crowdfunding?
  • Who is donating to crowdfunding projects and why?
  • What is a good summary of current research on crowdfunding?
  • What is the geography of donors and platforms?
I look forward to reading a global and unbiased report on emerging trends in crowdfunding. We've only hit the tip of the iceberg when it comes to crowdfunding adoption, so a universal examination would be quite valuable.

In order to show love to the crowdfunding community, every crowdfunding company that donates at least $250 to our Rockethub project by Friday will receive a copy of our full research report on crowdfunding ($2,500 value). We'll also include your company in our upcoming Umbrella of Crowdfunding in the order of donation time. (See the often referred to Umbrella of Crowdsourcing). These two additional prizes are only available until Friday, Jan 27th at 11:59 pm PT. The earlier you make a donation on behalf of your crowdfunding platform, the higher up you'll appear on the Umbrella of Crowdfunding.

Simply make your donation, then send us an email. We're happy to be helping out crowdfunding providers, investors, & clients with our upcoming research report. If you have any questions, please contact us or post a question on our project page.
