Crowdfunding

Crowdfunding for Afripreneurs

Afriversity there is now a revolutionary new way for entrepreneurs to raise funds and find finance, as an alternative to banks, venture capitalists and business angels.

The phenomenon of crowdfunding is revolutionizing the way people and business can find finance growth by lending or receiving investment from people everywhere in the world.

Wikipedia described crowdfunding (sometimes called crowd financing, crowd sourced capital or threshold pledge system) as the collective cooperation, attention and trust by people who network and pool their money and other resources together, usually via the Internet, to support efforts initiated by other people or organizations.

Afriversity believes in Crowdfunding and is partnering with CivilisedMoney (UK) Limited who has launched its services for Crowd-donation in October 2011.

You can find CivilisedMoney on www.crowdfunding.civilisedmoney.co.uk and pitch your idea that you are looking to fund.

CivilisedMoney will develop its services and offer crowdfunding for borrowing and lending in 2012, as well as equity investments outside the UK (the current service for equity investment is only for UK entities).
