Crowdfunding is a method of collecting small contributions from a large number of people. It gained prominence after the 2008 financial crisis as an alternative to traditional financing. 

There are four types of crowdfunding:

  1. Donation-based: Supporters donate without expecting a return, often for charitable causes

  2. Reward-based: Backers receive non-monetary rewards, like products or services, in exchange for their contributions.

  3. Equity-based: Investors provide funds in return for shares in a company.

  4. Lending-based: where contributors lend money with the expectation of repayment with interest.

Crowdfunding is a method of collecting money from as many people as possible.
There are four types of funding :

  • donations based : it's people who gives money without nothing in return
  • reward based : people receive a product in exchange of money
  • equity based : people sell share of the company 
  • lending based : people give money and they wait for investment. 

I think crowfunding is a good method because there are different type to give money so many people can participate.
