Start Up - Crowdfunding & ConsultingWhat are start-ups and crowdfunding all about? Our blog post will give you an initial insight.
What is Crowdfunding?
Crowdfunding is used to realize various projects, including start-up companies looking for suitable financing. The term is made up of the English word crowd and funding.
With this form of financing, not a single person, but many people are involved in financing a young company. For example, the founder presents his project on a crowdfunding platform in order to convince as many people as possible to provide financing.
An interested party has the option of making any amount available to the project. Depending on how the project is implemented, they will receive something in return for their financial commitment at a later date or support the project as a kind of donation.
How do crowdfunding projects work for a start-up?
Crowdfunding takes place in various steps, which the team at our online marketing agency has made available to you here in a brief overview.
Step 1: Publicizing the start-up project
Im ersten Schritt dreht sich alles darum, die Crowd über Ihr Projekt zu informieren. Eine gute Gelegenheit bieten dafür sogenannte Crowdfunding Plattformen wie beispielsweise Startnext, Kickstarter, Visionbakery oder 100-Days. Dort sollten Sie Ihr Start Up Vorhaben möglichst einfach verständlich vorstellen und ein Ziel sowie Dauer für die geplante Finanzierung festlegen.
Step 2: Financing phase
In Schritt 2 sollten möglichst viele Menschen von Ihrem Start Up überzeugt werden. Hier besteht die Möglichkeit gezielt für Ihr junges Unternehmen und die Idee dahinter zu werben. Über Online Marketing, unter anderem Social media marketing Aktivitäten in sozialen Netzwerken, können Sie die passende Reichweite generieren und immer wieder auf das Crowdfunding verlinken.
Step 3: Implementation phase
As soon as the financing target or the term is over, you receive the payout or the money is returned to the lenders if the financing target is not reached. Now it's time to put your start-up idea into practice.
Step 4: Consideration
Depending on the model, the backer receives something in return for the financing share provided, which is paid out in an amount X, for example. If your start-up is realized with donations, a nice gesture can also be used as a thank you.
How can an online marketing agency support start-ups?
As an online marketing agency in Munich, we support startup companies with crowdfunding and also offer startup consulting and marketing for startups.
Ein Beispiel dafür ist das Start Up Urgrow. Über die Crowdfunding Plattform Startnext stellte das junge Unternehmen Urgrow sein Projekt rund um Urban Farming vor.
Urgrow wants to encourage people to grow fresh, sustainable and organic food and develop an awareness of resource-saving urban agriculture. We supported the crowdfunding as a marketing agency.
