Sustainability
Crowdfunding is a new word for an old idea. The Oxford English dictionary defines it as: “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” Crowdfunding’s poster child, Kickstarter , launched in April 2009. It wasn’t the first online crowdfunding platform (ArtistShare launched in 2003 ), but it was the first to become widely known and scale.
