Crowdfunding is when you get lots of people to give you money to do something like bring out a CD or start a business. Instead of going to the bank and borrowing money from them.

WHAT'S IN IT FOR ME?



Often crowdfunding people will get something in return. Like the first production of the product being crowdfunded or something like that.

Practically Speaking?

Like, do they get to come over on Saturdays and use the tennis court or something? Can you crowdfund your lunch or breakfast?

Like once he went to a random person's house in basketball clothing and a ball and asked them if he could play basketball in their back yard.

Another time he went to Krispy Kreme to ask them for a bunch of donuts shaped in the Olympic symbol.

They actually did it and then even gave it to him for free. They actually did it and then even gave it to him for free. I actually just found it here it is:
