Description:

If we can acknowledge that our fate is connected with the fate of others and that of the collective world, then we must ask ourselves how we can improve the world within our capacity. How do we progress while ensuring the socio-economic wellbeing of others? One of the answers is through Crowdfunding.

‘Crowdfunding: The Story Of People’ uses a data-driven storytelling approach to capture the impact and potential of crowdfunding in a world governed by inequality. It does so while maintaining a constant grip on both the micro and macro perspectives of collective giving, social collaboration, and financial inclusion.

As people, we see life from a shared prism, but how we interpret it often varies. All of us have a unique way of deriving meaning from the stories around us. We all share an inherent tendency to look at something small and connect it with larger patterns. It is how we make sense of our world: through connections, patterns, and shared interpretations. By stitching together stories and data from around the world, the authors have successfully mapped the crowdfunding universe in a lucid and riveting manner.

The authors flip through the pages of history to shed light on people’s collective efforts and diverse fundraising techniques that have evolved into modern-day crowdfunding. They explore the current industry trends of crowdfunding, the challenges it faces, and piece together the potential solutions to those problems.

Vivid and heartfelt, ‘Crowdfunding: The Story of People’ is an extraordinary achievement. It’s a pathbreaking book that envisions the crowd as future change-makers who can positively impact the world through their collective efforts. The book is about finding strength in numbers, the belief that change is driven by the collective determination of people.

Builds well upon concepts

Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on 6 January 2021

Verified Purchase

Even though each chapter can be read seperately, the book lays down concepts and builds upon them. For example in chapter one, inequality is the central theme, but it is further explored in other chapters in tandem with crowdfunding. Another example is chapter 6 where some concepts are introduced and then later explored in other chapters.

A nicely woven narrative!

This book provides detail and important context to crowdfunding, especially to those who are intending to apply its techniques to their business or personal projects. It does a great job of scanning the environment, and supplies both depth and breadth to the subject matter. Since there is very scant literature about crowdfunding from an Indian perspective, the book's contribution is significant.

The authors should write more books using the data-driven storytelling model. The book dives deep into donation-based crowdfunding. I only wish they had done the same for reward-based crowdfunding.

Beautifully written, "Crowdfunding: The Story of People" draws upon numerous stories and statistics to aptly capture and analyze the importance of crowdfunding in tackling income disparity. This is a very relevant book in all societies, as it illustrates both, the challenges and advantages or crowdfunding, globally.
