Crowd Financing Sites for Creatives

IndieGoGo, one of several very cool new crowd funding services that makes it easy to get support and feel good about giving it, this one seemingly focused on media production.

Alternative services include:

• KickStarter – currently the largest crowd funding service in the world, with renown from projects like Diaspora, voyURL and Eyewriter.
• RocketHub – which crazily splits it’s site into ‘creatives’ and ‘fuelers’, which in my view makes it feel like less of a collaborative effort.
• CatWalkGenius – invites visitors to “make history by investing in the first ever public-funded fashion collection” in return for profit and perks.
• Profounder – which is the more overtly business-focused site, where entrepreneurship and managing your investors takes precedence.
• Fans Next Door – a new site focused on the creative arts, with a wide mix of typically very small art and music projects.
