What is Crowdfunding?

Crowdfunding is a coined term, merging the words “crowd” and “funding”, and it is a platform where through the connection of the internet it allows an individual or a group of them to ask for assistance or to achieve dreams by allowing contributions in the form of funds from other individuals who are willing to help.

Crowdfunding has its own types too, some crowdfundings are more personal, like helping someone in need, or realizing dreams. While some are looking for more investors to supply them with capital for their business ideas. We have separate articles on crowdfunding for you to read:

So how can I use crowdfunding platforms ?

Well, the bad news is these international platforms have country restrictions. For example as huge as Gofundme is, they only support 19 countries.

And a piece of better news is that we have compiled some of those services for you to consider!
