The Crowdfunding Revolution

The crowdfunding revolution refers to how online platforms now enable individuals and organizations to raise money directly from a large number of people, typically via the internet. Instead of relying on traditional funding sources like banks or investors, creators can present their ideas—such as new products, projects, or causes—and gather small contributions from many supporters worldwide. This shifts power from a few financial institutions to the crowd, accelerating innovation, enabling niche ideas to thrive, and democratizing access to funding. Overall, crowdfunding transforms how ideas are financed, fostering more community involvement and diverse opportunities.
