Which crowdfunding platform suits my project?

Numerous projects are registered at betterplace.org on a daily basis. Most of them are really creative, well-intentioned or serve as great business ideas.

However, not every project meets the criteria of the terms of use at betterplace.org and we need to reject them, because they try to generate income on our platform or want to collect donations for personal items. But the refuse does not mean those ideas can’t be realised successfully or aren’t of high potential. But most of the time they are better off at a different online platform, which presents projects that are financed by the “crowd”.
