Fundrazr Review
The latest site to catch our eye is Fundrazr which is a platform established to help you fundraise for what matters to you. Fundrazr is a significant player in the space catering to personal, medical, religious organizations and the like. Some of the campaigns highlighted on their homepage include music artists, a pastor raising funds for his ministry and a repair fund for the Ling Monastary in New York. A diverse list of causes from a highly functional site. They are also playing in the international arena with projects from many countries including the US, UK and Canada.
Fundrazr while not having the traffic of sites like Kickstarter or Indiegogo it is a technically proficient platform with some impressive, advanced search and share abilities. They also provide an extensive category list that will almost certainly cover the scope of your project. We have seen this site appear in such established, noted publications as the Wall Street Journal, Mashable and TechCrunch. With individual campaigns appearing over the last few years on every major television network.
Another item that we are finding more and more common on crowdfunding sites are links inviting both investors and businesses to sign-up for a coming entrance in to Equity Crowdfunding. Once rules are written by the SEC under the JOBS Act (now 2 1/2 years past due) we expect Fundrazr to enter the highly competitive market of listing equity issues.
It appears on their site with this announcement for Fundrazr Business –
“At FundRazr Business we are creating a market, financed by the crowd – people like you – who are able to invest in anything, anywhere. We want to put funding in the hands of people who are trying to build something, funded by people who believe in their ideas.
With liberalized securities regulations unfolding in the USA and Canada, non-accredited investors will be able to participate in exciting new investment opportunities (where legal) for the very first time.
FundRazr Business will launch our full suite of crowdfunding solutions shortly. Register your interest today and be among the first to participate in securities crowdfunding for your business or as an investor.”
This will be one of the most exciting areas for us to follow in the crowdfunding space over the next 5 years.
We have found the team (a relatively large and impressive team) to be very willing to answer campaign creators questions, which we always appreciate and like to call out. An easy to use website with highly functional technology and a growing user-base makes Fundrazr a solid pick for your personal fundraising needs.
