Anyone Else Remember AJA

At least I believe it was called Aja. It was a pretty hand drawn (?) platformer game that was being crowdfunded a few years back. I remember seeing it all the time on tumblr but cant find ..... anything ........at all about it anymore. Am I hallucinating? Is it just me? I really wanted to play it.....

Crowdfunding & Crowdsourcing

Hello, good day to you all. I have noticed that a lot of people are quite confused about these words, crowdsourcing and crowdfunding. And they are both different things as far as I am concern. Both allows people to primarily leverage mass- community collaboration.

Crowdfunding vs Crowdsourcing?

For short, crowdfunding is a process of sourcing money. Makes funds out of a group of people or a community. And crowdsourcing is different process that is sourcing for information and skills from a group of people.

Do you catch the difference?

Crowdfunding is usually made for those who do not have the access to sources of or need in a large amount of capital, like bank loans and big investors or those who in need, raising a lot of money. Usually, a crowdfunding campaign that specifically aim to health community or charities, those category fall under donation- based crowdfunding.

Crowdsourcing comes from two words: that is crowd and outsourcing. Definition of Google for outsourcing is to obtain goods, services from outside or foreign supplier. Crowdsourcing are quite varied where its using knowledge and power from a crowd to speed up process, and the process could be anything.

The benefit to crowdsourcing includes less time on working product, reduced time to market, access to a huge range of talent. Internet is truly a great thing where it is a ability to harness the skills and time in such wide variety of people.

Crowdfunding and Crowdsourcing in Social Media

We all know that India is in a terrible situation now, and surprisingly people from the world now are raising awareness, gathering people and raising crowdfunding to help India in anyway. And people would create post, an account specifically to raise crowdfunding, and the result are mindful, using short time and short effort this will gather groups of groups of people all around the world.

That is all for now, please once again be safe. It’s been really crucial nowadays, see you in the next post ~

How to Ask People for Money when Crowdfunding

When you have to ask people for money, suddenly the phone weighs 50 lbs, doesn’t it? Crowdfunding a loan on Lendoor makes it MUCH easier.  

Example of How the Conversation Might Flow

Rich:

"Bob, I thought I would give you a quick call to let you know that I will be expanding (or starting or moving) Rich’s Train Shop. It is a great business and we are expanding. Instead of going to the bank, I’m trying something new - I am crowdfunding my loan. I will send you the link to my online campaign."

Bob:

"Ah, is it that thing where I send money and you send me a T-shirt?"

Rich:                      

"No, no, this is official business with an official contract. The website has a full presentation and all the terms. If you have any questions, just post them on Lendoor and we will answer.”

Bob:

"But tell me more. What are you doing with the money, for example?"

Rich:

"Bob, I can tell you more, but the presentation on the Lendoor website is really straightforward. It will only take you a few minutes to look through. Thanks for taking a look. And, thanks for being interested.”

It's That Easy, Folks!

All of your communications will be a bit different. But the basics are:

You are raising capital

You are using crowdlending website Lendoor

All the details are on your Lendoor campaign page.

Mitmachen bei der Bevölkerungsreduktion

Das Meckerinternet mag die Bevölkerungsreduktion nicht. Dabei zeigt ein kurzer Blick ins Stadtparlament, daß der Planet zu eng für so viele versicherungsfritzenähnliche Kriecher ist. Machen Sie mit, nicht immer nur meckern! Ich reduziere mich offenkundig selbst, wenn ich mich im Rahmen der Kunstfreiheit in einem Bunker aus dem 2. Weltkrieg selbst vergase. Hier können Sie dafür spenden, ein…

Nostalgia, Livro da HERÓI e Fanzine

Anos 90: Manchete, Cavaleiros do Zodíaco e Revista HERÓI. Numa era em que não havia internet (não de forma tão disseminada quanto hoje pelo menos), em que não havia sites para baixar animes e séries ou assistir online e nem Facebook para ficar sabendo das novidades. Será que os nerds eram felizes? A resposta é: SIIIIMMMM. Éramos muito felizes. Na verdade essa era uma época em que o conceito de…

Il est temps que 2015 se termine.

J’en déjà marre. Sept mois de passés et j’ai l’impression que les cinq suivants vont être longs… très longs…

Parce que premièrement l’automne va arriver. Et crois le ou non, généralement l’automne en Belgique ça tombe en Août.

Deuxièmement, je n’ai toujours pas eu le temps d’aller voir le film sur les Minions.

Troisièmement, mon compte en banque a décidé de renforcer son interprétation de Jacques Mayol et ne compte pas de sitôt engager les négociations pour reprendre celui de John Stark.

Quatrièmement, J’ai un manque de sommeil aussi impressionnant que la distance entre la Terre et Pluton et plus un seul jour de congé de disponible.

D’ailleurs si tu en as de trop, je suis preneuse. Je pense ouvrir un « Congéathon » très bientôt.

Les dernières modifications du Tome III sont en cours, l’illustration est presque prête (oui j’ai toujours un problème avec le titre. Je n’arrive pas à me décider.) et tu sais quoi ? Ce sera peut-être ma préférée. Elle est comme je la voyais dans ma tête il y’a 2 ans et demi… oui oui je l’ai commencé il y a deux ans et demi, tu ne rêves pas. Je prends mon temps, c’est toujours mieux et cela évite de sortir n’importe quoi et puis, j’ai dû faire des recherches, quelques expériences, quelques rencontres etc. Et cela prend du temps.

Je me suis lancée dans la rédaction d’une nouvelle entièrement en anglais et je surkiffe l’exercice. Ça me change des autres textes que je ponds dans la langue de Nathan Fillion.

Une des seules attentes de 2015 sera « Con Man » avec …. Ben…. Nathan Fillion et Alan Tudyk, produit sur Vimeo et Indiegogo (44.000 personnes ont participé à ce Crowdfunding).

Le Trailer

J’ai vraiment envie de voir ce que cela peut donner. Parce que si je ne m’abuse, j’ai l’impression que Castle ne durera plus longtemps et moi sans ma dose de « Captain Mal » je vais être hyper irritable.

A quand le lancement d’une pétition pour que Nathan soit remboursé comme anxiolytique !

Je vais aussi tenter de reprendre un rythme de lecture plus soutenu parce que cela me manque un peu de lire pour moi. Juste pour mon plaisir.

Bref tu l’as compris : j’ai un souci de communication avec 2015

XoXo

Nom d’un petit Stuart à dos de Licorne! Il est temps que 2015 se termine. J’en déjà marre. Sept mois de passés et j’ai l’impression que les cinq suivants vont être longs… très longs…

Israel Making a Big Splash in the Crowdfunding Market

It’s hard to believe it’s been over six years since crowdfunding sites like Indiegogo and Kickstarter have come to fruition, changing the way products go-to-market.  These sites have become integral conduits for launching a pre-campaign and allowing “real” people to get in on the action and invest in innovative products in exchange for being part of the exclusive “first” to get the product when it goes to production.

And it’s these crowdfunding sites that have led dreamers, inventors, and entrepreneurs to create visibility for their technological innovation. Until now, these companies would have otherwise gone unrecognized as the world would continue to wait expectantly for the global tech giants like Apple, Samsung, Microsoft, etc. to launch the next big thing.

Israel, well-known as the startup nation, has of course caught the crowdfunding bug and become a  hotspot for crowdfunding campaigns exhibiting an inspiring amount of high tech products that range from voice activated light bulbs (Vocca) to touchscreen game controllers (Zrro) and even a laser controlled pen that will allow you to write on any surface (Phree).

With so many notable campaigns we felt it important to highlight just a few of the very successful Israeli campaigns that have closed on Kickstarter and Indiegogo.

Sensibo is a hassle-free upgrade to your home AC unit. Lead by CEO Omer Enbar, Sensibo created a $79 pod that attaches to your AC unit and allows it to be controlled via smartphone, over the internet. Their Indiegogo campaign raised over $170,000 and they have already started shipping the first boxes of Sensibo to its backers. Their  success is due in large part because of the hilarious and award winning campaign video, made by Tross Creative House, in which Sensibo goes over and over “the installation process.”

PowerUp 3.0, one of the most playful Kickstarters out there turns an everyday paper airplane into a remote controlled flying machine. Just attach the bluetooth-controlled battery and propeller to any standard paper airplane, and within seconds you’ve turned an old-fashioned glider into a powerful flyer. Apart from the fun technology, PowerUp also has made a name for itself because of its remarkable $1.2 million campaign despite its $50,000 goal.

However, crowdfunding is useful for more than fancy gadgets: Rewalk is a robotic exoskeleton that allows paraplegics and spinal cord injury victims to ditch the wheelchair and walk more naturally. This cutting-edge technology would not have been possible without the $1.3 million campaign from OurCrowd in 2013. Rewalk’s exoskeleton has been FDA approved and is currently on the market in the U.S., Israel, and Europe. We will be hearing their story this year at The Israel Conference™, October 21-22, 2015.

There’s also the ambitious SCIO from Consumer Physics. Worried whether the apple you are about to bite into is fresh? Or if Monday’s medication dosage is accurate? SCIO promises to scan everyday objects and tell you their exact chemical makeup. SCIO ranks as the highest funded product on our list, hauling in $2.7M from Kickstarter. The scanner sounds like something out of science fiction, but CEO, Dror Sharon, has proven it works, and we cannot wait for it to hit the market in the next few months.

We at The Israel Conference™ love to see so many innovative products crowdfunding out Israel, and to get in on the “real time” action we hope to see you at the conference on October 20-21, in Los Angeles at the Skiriball Cultural Center.
