Crowdfunding is a method of raising money from a large number of people, typically via the internet. It allows individuals or organizations to present their projects or ideas to the public, who can then contribute small amounts of money to help fund them. This approach is often used for creative projects, startups, or charitable causes. There are various platforms for crowdfunding, such as Kickstarter and Indiegogo, where project creators can showcase their ideas. In return for their contributions, backers may receive rewards, equity, or simply the satisfaction of supporting a cause they believe in.
