Crowds.io
Build and Fund Your Startup Online
Posted Thursday, April 23, 2015
Crowds.io is a multi-sided platform that connects entrepreneurs and startups with the skills, companies, and funding they need to launch and grow a successful venture. We've expanded on the possibilities of crowdfunding to not only use the crowd for capital, but as a driving force for the development of new startups and projects. Our platform gives founders the ability to involve their users and customers in the development process of their startup, and leverage their skills, knowledge, and networks for a more secure launch and faster growth, while we reward them for their participation. With their customers and our community of users as their own market research panel, startups can run polls and contests for cash prizes to get solutions for the variety of problems they are facing from logo design to prototype CAD, and then begin receiving bids from the growing number of companies in our Vendor Network for full-scale manufacturing, marketing, distribution, and more.
