Crowd Source Fundingis gaining popularity as a means for raising funds for start-up organizations that aren’t going through traditional means of raising capital and we here at TheWondersExpedition.com have been running a campaign with Kickstarter.com for almost three weeks now. Today, we are proud to share with you a video recently shot by 12-year-old twins, Reagan and Haley Claxton, who were kind enough to give it their best shot.
Reagan and Haley Claxton Explain Crowd Source Funding
We made this home-made video and did our best to throw in some humor with the subject. After all, who expects 12 year olds to know anything about CSF? Heck, most adults probably don’t even know what it is.
Essentially this is it:
- We have a kickstarter.com campaign up to raise funds to develop an interactive book for the iPad on Machu Picchu in Peru.
- In exchange for your pledge, you will receive cool rewards if we reach our funding goal.
- If we don’t, and there admittedly is a possibility of that at this writing, we get nothing and those who have pledged get charged nothing.
- When we do raise the funds, after a short delay and after paying Kickstarter and Amazon each 5 percent for helping us raise the funds, we’ll be scheduling a trip to Peru in June or July to go get this incredible book done.
That’s it. But it’s much cuter to let the twins tell you….
