What is the advantage of crowdsourced.io over Kickstarter?
- erikig 7y agoI'm not the creator but I think I can answer this. With Kickstarter you are trying to raise funds usually in exchange for a product or aesthetic cause. With Crowdsourcer you are actually trying to acquire the talent to launch a software project.

- erikig 7y agoI threw together a quick ProductHunt profile which you should be able to update by logging in with your Twitter profile. https://www.producthunt.com/posts/crowdsourcer https://www.producthunt.com/posts/crowdsourcer
- MikeDaniel 7y agoOh that’s awesome, thank you. I shall take a look at this when I’m home. That was so good of you :)
- MikeDaniel 7y agoHey Yodon, here's a list: 1. You don't have to do a massive marketing campaign to raise finance, because you're not raising finance. 2. It's not an everything or nothing roll of the dice. 3. You don't even need to raise finance - the investment of expertise and time by you and your contributors should remove most (most) of what you'd normally spend money on. 4. You don't have take on any financial risk - the risk comes to you and your fellow contributors in the form of wasted time if your product flops. 5. You get help actually building your product - from contributors who you find or find you. 6. It creates an equitable payment structure where you and controbutors get paid based on how much everyone contributes. Hope this helps to explain the concept a little better. There's a video here which explains it well I think: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHHvJzUGpCM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHHvJzUGpCM
