StartupAddict Launches Crowdfunding Platform for Startups & Entrepreneurs
- ares2012 15y agoI like the concept. It gives normal people a chance to invest in start up companies that might not justify angel or VC investment. My only concern is that your typical person cannot properly evaluate the risk of a start up company (which is why the "accredited investor" classification exists with the SEC). There is risk of people investing in things they don't understand.
- vipivip 15y agoDo you think this is the same concept as Angels List?
- citizenkeys 15y agoAs somebody having tried both Angel List and kickstarter, this seems unlike either of those. Angel List is about finding investors, not donations. Investors want a return on investment. Kickstarter is about projects that have a definite ending. You can't fund a business using Kickstarter because a "business", by definition, runs in perpetuity without end. This seems to be Kickstarter for businesses. Incidentally, I'm seriously looking for some immediate funding for my start-up. Please contact me if you have any extra money burning a hole in your pocket. No legitimate offer will be refused.
