The Things You Didn’t Already Know

Did you know that 57% of all crowdfunding platforms are All or Nothing, and that 49% of all sites have creative orientations? Or did you know that 41% of crowdfunding platforms across the globe are being funded in Europe?

These are just some of the things to bear in mind before starting your crowdfunding campaign. Choosing an appropriate platform for your project is a very important decision: You need to think about what type of platform it is (whether it’s equity based/non-equity based, ‘keep what you raise’/ ‘all or nothing’ etc), what it’s orientations are (and match them with your own target audience), how big a following it has, and whether your target fund is suitable for that particular platform. For instance, did you know that the average project size for a UK creative platform is £1740?

There are things to consider that you may not have already thought of. Twitter for example, accommodates for 69% of the share of social media buzz about crowdfunding, with over 89,000 people following crowdfunding platforms. If you haven’t got a twitter account already, I suggest you sign up quick.

Regardless to whether you have a project at the ready or not, the latest info graphic from PleaseFund.Us gives you a short introduction to crowdfundng and highlights various facts and figures that you may not have already known.
