  • Crowdfunding Venture Analysis Individual Research

    $7.00

    Individual Component:

    1. Study a variety of crowdfunding web sites and choose a start-up venture that you find personally interesting. (See attached Crowdfunding List.)
    2. Read the start-up venture’s proposal and do some additional research. You may want to look for competition, visit the business’ web site, and explore other external factors that may influence the business venture, such as cultural/social/political/economic conditions that may affect the success of the idea.
    3. Write a short, one-page paper (single-spaced) that describes the venture. No introductory or conclusion paragraph is needed. Include:

    Company Information:

    Name of company. Number of days on crowdfunding site. Target dollar amount. Amount of money raised to date.

    Product or Service Information:

    Describe the product or service. What problem is it solving? Who is the target market?

    Competitive Advantage

    Describe what makes this product or service different. Is there any competition? What is unique about the product/service or, if the product/service is not unique, what is its competitive advantage compared to others in the same market? Why do you think this product/service will be successful?

    Format:

     1 single-spaced page. 1-in margins. 10-12 point font.

     APA format for internal citations and include a Reference Page.

     Assignment must be typed.

     Use the headers as described above.

    Crowdfunding sites:

    Kickstarter.com: Kickstarter is the 800-pound gorilla in crowdfunding, originally designed and built for creative arts; many technology entrepreneurs now use the site, some reporting to have raised millions of dollars. The Kickstarter funding model is an all-or-nothing model. You set a goal for your raise; if your raise exceeds the goal, you keep all the money, otherwise your supporters don’t pay and you don’t get anything. This protects supporters from some of the risk of your running out of money before your project is completed.

    StartSomeGood.com: StartSomeGood is great for early-stage social good projects that are not (yet) 501(c) (3) registered nonprofits. StartSomeGood uses a unique “tipping point” model for fundraising, allowing you to set a funding goal and a lower “tipping point” at which your project can minimally proceed and where you will collect the money you raise.

    Indiegogo.com: Indiegogo allows you to raise money for absolutely anything, using an optional “keep what you raise” model with higher fees or pay less to use an all-or-nothing funding approach.

    Rockethub.com: Rockethub is also a broad platform targeting “artists, scientists, entrepreneurs, and philanthropists”, using a keep-what-you-raise model that rewards you for hitting your funding goal (or penalizes you for failing to hit it).

    Pozible.com: Pozible, run from Australia, has a global platform for all types of projects, emphasizing “creative projects and ideas” and specifically precludes fundraising for charities. Pozible operates with an all-or-nothing funding model.

    Razoo.com: Razoo boasts that it has now helped 14,000 causes raise over $100 million. This site is exclusively for social good causes but is not limited to non-profits using a keep-what-you-raise model, charging just 2.9% of money raised.

  • The future potential of bitcoin becoming a mainstream currency

    $10.00

    Bitcoin, a virtually currency, represents a major innovation in the evolution of money. While not actually legal tender it is growing rapidly in popularity and usage. The main benefits of bitcoin relate to its protection of user anonymity, minimal transaction fees, and its independence from both government control and the banking system. It has also been very controversial due to its use as a preferred method of payment in the underground and black market economy. Your paper should evaluate the future potential of bitcoin becoming a mainstream currency. The report should address both the opportunities and challenges facing bitcoin and the implications regarding its potential impact on society – including the economy, government, the banking system, as well as the regulatory environment (eg legal issues).

    Love at first listen is the only way to describe the way you felt when you discovered SongThrong.com. You enjoy dozens of styles of music, from Afrobeat and Tropicalia to mainstream pop and the occasional blast of industrial metal, and SongThrong.com has them all for only $9.99 a month.

The service was so unreliable that you began keeping note of when it was unavailable. Last month, it was down for all or part of 12 days–well over a third of the month. As much as you like it, you’ve had enough.

    YOUR TASK: Write an email to support@songthrong.com, requesting a full refund. To get the $9.99 monthly rate, you prepaid for an entire year ($119.88), and you’ve been a subscriber for two months now. You know the service has been out for at least part of the time on 12 separate days last month, and while you didn’t track outages during the first month, you believe it was about the same number of days.

    Requirements:
    1. Email Format (include: TO, FROM, SUBJECT)
    2. Direct Approach to be used (your STATEMENT OF PROBLEM will be at the beginning)
    3. Formal tone throughout (you are writing to a company)
    4. Grammar/Spelling
    5. Three parts to your message (opening, body, closing)
    6. Clearly state what you think is a fair settlement
