How We Are Different
What is crowdfunding?
Crowdfunding campaigns raise seed money for new projects from a large number of people
Crowdfunding is crowdsourced alternative financing that can be used to start a business. Crowdfunding typically takes place at the earliest stage of launching a business or product to fund R&D. There is no guarantee the product will ever make it to market or that the funds will be sufficient to deliver as promised.
What is pre-ordering?
A pre-order is a payment placed for an item that is developed but not yet released from an established business
When you pre-order an item you commit to buying the product upon its release which assists the seller in forecasting inventory needs and ensuring a successful product launch. When you pre-order a product you are guaranteed either to receive it or get your money back.
The best of both!
