However, there\u2019s one issue\u2026<\/p>
Entrepreneurs need to raise investment funds to get started!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t Well, don\u2019t worry \u2013 there’s good news!<\/strong><\/p> Let me introduce Indiegogo. This platform was founded in San Francisco way back in 2008 and was amongst one of the first companies to offer the concept of Crowdfunding. Indiegogo provides an easy and quick way of giving people the power and resources that are required to breathe life into their ideas and is available in excess of over 200 countries.<\/p> Indiegogo has the added benefit of offering both fixed and flexible funding \u2013 depending on what is required.\u00a0 Their fixed funding works the same as many other crowdfunding platforms, in that the fundraising goal must be achieved within a set period of time, whereas with flexible funding users aren\u2019t required to reach their target and are able to withdraw and use the funds whenever they so wish.<\/p> What makes Indiegogo different from other platforms is that they offer both a marketplace and fulfillment tools.\u00a0 What this means is that those who have raised funds in order to create a product either by using Indiegogo or any other site are able to sign up to the marketplace and then go on to sell their finished product.\u00a0<\/p> Another rather neat feature is that Indiegogo also offers a non-profit arm \u2013 aptly name \u2018Generosity,’ which allows charitable causes to fundraise without incurring the usual fees.<\/p> With so many crowdfunding platforms available, it can be difficult to know who to choose.\u00a0<\/p> Don\u2019t worry\u2026<\/strong><\/p> To help you make your mind, I have reviewed what exactly Indiegogo has to offer including what type of crowdfunding it is suited to.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t I will put\u00a0Indiegogo through\u00a0our\u00a0rigorous\u00a0testing and will look at the following aspects.\u202f<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t How does Indiegogo perform and what features does it offer to help create the perfect crowdfunding campaign?\u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t Does\u202fIndiegogo offer everything necessary that users expect from a crowdfunding platform?\u202f<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t Does\u00a0Indiegogo offer quick customer support solutions and\u202fhelp,\u202fand can users count on them when it matters most?\u202f\u202f\u00a0 <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t Does\u202fIndiegogo offer the best pricing\u00a0in\u00a0the marketplace?
