The Ultimate Crowdfunding Guide - Part I (Jose Paul Martin)Jose Paul Martin
Crowdfunding refers to raising funds for projects from many people online in small amounts. There are four main types: donation, where people donate without expecting a return; rewards, where donors receive rewards based on donation amount; equity, where investors receive shares of a company in exchange for funds; and debt, where people loan money and receive interest payments. Crowdfunding makes it possible to fund ideas like startups, products, films, music, and more by widening the pool of potential investors beyond traditional sources like friends, family, banks, and venture capitalists.
Crowdfunding and Audience Development - We are Museums RigaOonagh Murphy
There are hundreds of examples of successful crowdfunding campaigns in the arts. There’s the quirky Park and Slide, which transformed Park Street in Bristol into a giant public water slide. There’s the cutting-edge Virtual Choir, which digitally brought together solo singers from all over the world. Then there’s the heartwarming Cancer sucks, Art Heals! project, which creates memorable experiences through art for children touched by cancer. But to date the focus in many how-to guides, articles and analysis is on developing a financially successful campaign.
More than simply an innovative approach to income generation, crowdfunding provides arts organisations with opportunities to develop new audiences, test new ways of working and generate advocacy and PR opportunities.
In this workshop we will look beyond the money and explore how Crowdfunding can help your museum develop new audiences and spark new ways of working.
Universal Crowd Funding provide you the platform in India to make your projects into any domain with creative ideas and Build a solo Moto for better tomorrow!!

The Global Development Institute Lecture Series is pleased to present Dr Emma Mawdsley, Reader in Human Geography and Fellow of Newnham College to discuss "The Southernisation of Development? Who has 'socialised' who in the new millennium?"
A more polycentric global development landscape has emerged over the past decade or so, rupturing the formerly dominant North-South axis of power and knowledge. This can be traced through more diversified development norms, institutions, imaginaries and actors. This paper looks at one trend within this turbulent field: namely, the ways in which ‘Northern’ donors appear to be increasingly adopting some of the narratives and practices associated with ‘Southern’ development partners. This direction of travel stands in sharp contrast to expectations in the early new millennium that the (so-called) ‘traditional’ donors would ‘socialise’ the ‘rising powers’ to become ‘responsible donors’. After outlining important caveats about using such cardinal terms, the paper explores three aspects of this ‘North’ to ‘South’ movement. These are (a) the stronger and more explicit claim to ‘win-win’ development ethics and outcomes; (b) the (re)turn from ‘poverty reduction’ to ‘economic growth’ growth as the central analytic of development; and related to both, the explicit and deepening blurring and blending of development finances and agendas with trade and investment.

Crowdfunding has existed for centuries but has recently grown substantially through online platforms. It allows individuals and organizations to raise money from many people for projects or ventures. There are different crowdfunding models including debt, equity, profit-sharing, and rewards-based. Major platforms like Kickstarter and Indiegogo have facilitated billions of dollars in funding. However, crowdfunding also faces challenges like lack of intellectual property protection, failure risk, and potential fraud or scams. The future of crowdfunding may include greater mobile access, reduced small business funding barriers, and increased foreign currency exchange capabilities.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
