Crowd Funding Assignment
The purpose of this assignment is to have you become familiar with the concept of crowdfunding. As such you should do the following:
1. Google crowd funding, visit crowd funding web sites, and learn about crowd funding. One of your later assignments in this class requires you to create your own crowd funding video - so find out what crowd funding is all about.
2. Read the Crowd Funding Primer on BB (under the Course Resources folder). I have created a short primer for you so be sure to read it
3. Submit a 1 page narrative (write-up) on your thoughts about crowd funding. What is it, who uses it, why do they use it? You can use bullet points in your write-up.
4. Identity one crowd funding project that you like, which is of high quality (ie, solves an important problem or leverages a significant trend) and to which you would contribute or lend. Try to find a project that is business /entrepreneurship focused (rather than arts / crafts etc).
5. For the crowd funding project you identify, describe the venture and what you liked about the crowd funding campaign.
