PUTTING MYSELF IN QUESTION
MY CALLING: BEING OF SERVICE TO OTHERS
THINKING ABOUT THE MODEL
MY OBJECTIVE: SERVING PEOPLE WHILE HAVING A MAXIMAL IMPACT

DISRUPTIVE
SCALABLE
EFFICIENT
CLEAR
LAST BUT NOT LEAST: PURPOSE/IMPACT DRIVEN

5. CROWDFUNDING, YOU SAID CROWDFUNDING?
The practice of funding a project or venture by raising many small amounts of money from a large number of people, typically via the Internet.

6. TYPOLOGY
Rewards-based crowdfunding
Donation-based crowdfunding
Equity crowdfunding
Debt crowdfunding
And also:
Royalty crowdfunding
Hybrid crowdfunding
In rewards-based crowdfunding, backers give a small amount of money in exchange for a reward. Kickstarter Indiegogo
In donation-based crowdfunding, donors donate a small amount of money in exchange for gratitude and the feeling of supporting a cause they believe in.
In equity crowdfunding, investors invest large amounts of money in a company in exchange for a small piece of equity in the company. Ex WeFunder, Angel List, to name a few…
And in debt crowdfunding, lenders make a loan with the expectation to make back their principal plus interest. The lending club.
Royalty crowdfunding offers backers a percentage of revenue from the project or venture the backer supports, once it is generating capital. A good example of this approach is a mobile app website where backers can support an app before it's fully developed or launched, and then share in the revenue once the app starts selling to the public.
