The Crowdfunding Campaigner Magazine platform supporting campaigners and investors to come together to share experiences, get ahead of their game and engage with one another. Our platform is about facilitating thought leadership – by gathering experiences from the people who make decisions to improve and guide in creating successful projects. The platform provides a unique way for crowdfunding to be viewed on a global basis and encourage a way of shaping the future of the rapidly growing financial sector. Crowdfunding Campaigner targets business owners, entrepreneurs, start-ups and crowdfunding backers as a monthly publication to discuss latest news, views experiences, successes and challenges for all to share. For many start-ups and entrepreneurs the recollection of the 2008 global financial crisis was the “funding gap”. Banks were less willing to provide loans and investors moved capital into more stable platforms. As an alternative solution from this adversity to risk by banks and financial institutions came the notion of crowdfunding. While some players have been around since 2008, the huge crowdfunding wave crashed onto the market between 2012 and 2013, particularly in Europe and the U.S. As of April 2012, there were more than 450 crowdfunding websites worldwide. Given the relatively recent arrival of the crowdfunding wave to the market, its future iterations will be interesting to follow. The Crowdfunding Campaigner magazine editorial team covers many years of crowdfunding experience in support of raising finance for entrepreneurs, start-ups and business members alike while introducing quality assurance, processes and the strategies required to drive successful campaigns.
