Web-based Crowdfunding Portal

Client Profile The client desired a platform with an aim to create a positive impact on the society. A portal that would turn the traditional investment process on its head. This Brand-new Crowdfunding portal would enable small startups, charities, and pretty much any individual with an idea to use the Internet to appeal to a large group of potential funders, where each of these funders could contributes a small amount toward the goal.

Business Challenge The client requested a web platform that could help his customers to recognize and find the client’s business easily without navigating through a bunch of irrelevance on the Internet. Where, thousands of donors from all over the country are supporting the nonprofits they love, and for the client to utilize this opportunity, he wanted a portal where users could share their impactful dreams and projects in a way that is accessible to all. This platform would be suitable for both individuals and organizations.

The platform would support the keep-it-all (KIA) donation model where the campaign creators keep all the money they raise. This way there is a high rate of business development, innovation & growth. The client desired a platform for visionary entrepreneurs to publish their business plan that they believe are good for the community and to reach out to thousands of potential donors.
