Is it worth starting a crowdfunding website?
In days gone by, Crowdfunding was seen as a niche segment in the eCommerce industry. However, a recent research report flipped this by stating:
The Global Crowdfunding market was valued at 10.2 billion USD in 2018 and is expected to reach 28.8 billion USD by the end of 2025, growing at a CAGR of 16% between 2018 and 2025. View full report.
The recent increase in popularity of Kickstarter and its contemporaries like Indiegogo, Crowdfunder, GoFundMe, etc had propelled the finance model of the crowdfunding business completely into the mainstream business. People have started taking it seriously & are running a successful business around it.
NGOs or local businesses who are looking to start their crowdfunding projects lookup for a platform where they can start instantly. Money being the constraint for them, they prefer already established, go-to-use platforms rather than building their own from scratch.
