Crowdfunding is a method of raising capital through the collective effort of friends, family, customers, and individual investors.
This approach taps into the collective efforts of a large pool of individuals—primarily online via social media and crowdfunding platforms—and leverages their networks for greater reach and exposure.
“For crowdfunding campaigns we take 5% for all-or-none campaigns (only get the money if you reach the goal) or 10% for open campaigns (you get the money even if you dont reach your goal). For the marketplace campaigns (sales) we take 5%. The connect campaign is free for both sides.”
“We charge 8% on the collected funds per milestone for successfully funded projects.
We also receive 5% of all app-revenues made by the ap once published.”
Listing on AppStori is free, once approved. If you’re successful in reaching your funding goal, Amazon Payments and AppStori deduct transaction fees. AppStori collects 7% commission only if the project is successful. Amazon takes an average of 2-3%.

How is Crowdfunding Different?
Crowdfunding is essentially the opposite of the mainstream approach to business finance. Traditionally, if you want to raise capital to start a business or launch a new product, you would need to pack up your business plan, market research, and prototypes, and then shop your idea around to a limited pool or wealthy individuals or institutions. These funding sources included banks, angel investors, and venture capital firms, really limiting your options to a few key players. You can think of this fundraising approach as a funnel, with you and your pitch at the wide end and your audience of investors at the closed end. Fail to point that funnel at the right investor or firm at the right time, and that’s your time and money lost.
