Overview
Entrepreneurs launched more than 800,000 startup companies in 2020. Instead of seeking traditional
forms of funding from a few wealthy investors, many pursued crowdfunding, which enabled them to seek
financing from a large pool of investors, often consisting of friends, family members, customers, and other
interested parties.

Types of Crowdfunding
Crowdfunding is when a large number of people instead of the handful of wealthy supporters, donate money to a project. The crowdfunding campaigns can be successful by attracting a large public and entice those who support them to their cause (Lukkarinen and co. 1 26). There are four kinds of crowdfunding campaigns: donation, rewards, debt and equity.
Donation
Donations are a form of crowdfunding where donors provide financial support to an organization, cause, or person without expectation of any reward in exchange. Imagine that you start an online campaign for crowdfunding to fund the purchase of new equipment to run your business. People donate money to you for nothing , but they also give you the opportunity to see your business achieve success.
Debt
Peer-to-peer lending, also known as P2P loans, are a type of crowdfunding that requires debt-based contributions. The funds of the supporters serve as loans and must be returned with interest within the specified date in loans based on debt.
Rewards
The financial support received is rewarded by giving the recipient a tangible benefit. People who donate are encouraged to contribute more, by winning rewards of various amounts. T-shirts, the item or service, and occasionally even a discount off the purchase price are given to the contributors of crowdfunding campaigns.
