FAQ
for unresolved questions about Project Wedge
What is Crowd Funding?
Crowd funding is a developing way to raise money all over the world. For new products, it’s a great way to raise the necessary amount of cash thru pre-orders to tackle some of the more costly aspects of making a product that a small company could not afford on their own. For example Pebble, Lockitron, and Coin all held crowd-funding campaigns that were very successful in bringing their products to market.
Why did we decide to use our own platform instead of a crowd funding website?
Existing crowd funding platforms like Kickstarter and Indiegogo take a cut of the total funds raised. This would either increase the price we had to sell the product for, or decrease the quality of the product. To avoid this, as it hurts the product, we are using our own platform. Numerous start up companies have employed this same approach, and have had great success with it.
What is a Project Wedge?
