Three crowdfunding platforms for African tech startups
November 23th, 2020 – With the global pandemic impacting African SMEs and startup’s financial revenue, Ventureburn has highlighted three crowdfunding platforms that aim to assist African startups.
Crowdfunding is a method of raising money for businesses, people, projects, or charities through collective donations. According to Investopedia, crowdfunding can be understood as the “use of small amounts of capital from a large number of individuals to finance a new business venture.”
Individuals or organisations contribute an amount via the internet to support projects or ventures.
Traditional methods of funding a startup such as applying for a loan at a bank with an applied interest rate can become a costly option for many local entrepreneurs.
Crowdfunding allows entrepreneurs to connect and network with potential investors beyond private funding and venture capitalist firms. In a symbiotic relationship, some crowdfunding platforms offer potential rewards or profit to those who donate.
