Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve probably noticed that crowdfunding is becoming a mainstream term. It’s not just focused on one particular industry, nor is it confined to a particular country; crowdfunding cuts across industries and state lines. The term and its many models are consistently being featured on major news, technology, and financial websites. Techcrunch.com, one of our favorite technology blogs, has been one of the bigger players to cover the trend earlier than others. Almost all of the articles cover reward-based crowdfunding, which is not surprising since equity crowdfunding won’t be legal for a while, but it’s still awesome. Below is a list of some of their articles from the past month that mention crowdfunding:
