Crowdfunding is a way of outsourcing funds from the public via the internet. Crowdfunding started centuries ago while online crowdfunding boomed in 2003 and now many crowdfunding sites are sprawling on the internet. However, because of the many websites coming out offering crowdfunding, issues and problems are starting to come out as well. That is why a team of crowdfunding veterans has come up with a better solution to tackle these issues.

PLEDGECAMP

Pledgecamp, as the creators have claimed, is the next generation crowdfunding. The team of geniuses has put their brains together to create the platform tackling issues about crowdfunding, especially trust. Trust is a big word not only in reality but also in the world wide web. As you may know, crowdfunding has been the go-to place of brilliant minds with no money to start their creative ideas. From strangers on the internet, they would present their proposals and how they see it will generate income in the future. However, the great minds of Pledgecamp saw that the lack of trust of the backers to the platform has plummeted down the opportunities of individuals aspiring to grow big. Backers pull out from investing because they were not able to get something from what they have invested or if ever they would receive their return of investments, it would take years of waiting. This trust issue was one of the reasons why Pledgecamp was created.

The team from Pledgecamp believes that there are many people with great ideas only that the window of opportunity has not yet been opened for them. Pledgecamp is going to be the first and only crowdfunding platform that offers Backer Insurance. Backer insurance is a security tool holding the funds for the campaign in a smart contract. This assures the backer that the financial incentive will be returned after a certain timeline.

Moreover, to establish transparency in the platform, the creator must deposit Pledge Coin, the native cryptocurrency of Pledgecamp via the blockchain. However, this deposit is refundable as soon as the creator had presented business documents, verified his/her/their identity/ies and has engaged live chats with the backers.

The Pledge Coin or the PLG plays a vital role in this network because it will be the main currency to use in campaigns and it will also be used as the reward system to those who are rendering their services to the network.

At present, backers often sit back and wait for their investments to return. However, with Pledge camp, backers are encouraged to be actively participative during the whole process. Pledgecamp will be giving the structure with the right incentives to combine the different abilities of the Smart Crowd and in return creators will be able to access the best of the best talents right at their fingertips. With that said, there will be greater chances of a campaign to succeed.

THE VISION

Pledgecamp has one goal in sight, and that is to give opportunities to people with good ideas by way of fundraising.

By empowering the Smart Crowd, projects are being worked hand-in-hand, and the individuals who have extended their talents to accomplish the work will be given incentive via Pledge Coin.

ACCELERATION

Because of the Smart Crowd, campaigns and projects will finish on time if not ahead of time. The Smart crowd will serve as resources in terms of workforce, creative minds and the likes.
