"Berlin (ots) - Das in den USA entstandene Finanzierungsmodell des Crowdfunding gewinnt weltweit immer mehr an Bedeutung. Laut einer Erhebung von Statista.com hat sich das globale Crowdfunding Volumen in den Jahren 2009 bis 2012 von 530 Millionen USD auf ca. 2,8 Milliarden USD mehr als verfünffacht. 2008 wurde in den USA die erste Crowdfunding Plattform gegründet, heute gehört Indiegogo.com zu den weltweit grössten Crowdfundingseiten und generiert wöchentlich mehrere Millionen USD Dollar. Besonders für Start-ups kann Crowdfunding eine attraktive Methode sein, eine Finanzierung auch abseits grosser Investments oder Venture Capital zu generieren."

The Soundbyte Version: The application of Open Source principles to fields outside of software."
