And this has been mostly true since IndieGogo first popularized it in 2008. But the landscape is changing. With some new legislation, new companies, and investors taking a new interest in it - and the numbers confirm that it’s now more popular than ever. So in this episode of Startups 101, I want to do a quick overview of your options, how they work, and which might be best for you. #startups #Slidebean #crowdfunding ____ 0:00 Crowdfunding - Intro 0:42 Crowdfunding- Reward-Based 4:14 Crowdfunding - Equity 5:45 Crowdfunding - Equity crowdfunding problems 6:55 Crowdfunding - Equity crowdfunding and new solutions 8:30 Crowdfunding - Examples -- Follow Caya: https://twitter.com/cayahere https://instagram.com/caya_here Turn on notifications for the podcast & rate it a 5-star for new episodes.
