The words of David Rich, a motivational speaker and educator I had the honor of hearing yesterday during a business seminar. Just one bit of wisdom he imparted on the group of business people attending the event through our local Chamber of Commerce.

What is Crowdfunding??
Crowdfunding, is a funding method where common people like you and me, “the crowd”, fund your personal or business project with their own money. Or, just call it a donation 
It is a great way to bring awareness to your “project”, idea or whatever it is you are trying to raise funds for.
Most people, causes, organizations, businesses using the crowdfunding platform offer something as a token to those that contribute. We, at Good Boy Roy, decided to give this (crowdfunding) a try. Our choice was a newcomer to the game, Crowdtilt.

Kickstarter is a funding platform for creative projects. Everything from films, games, and music to art, design, and technology. Kickstarter is full of ambitious, innovative, and imaginative projects that are brought to life through the direct support of others.

Those are just a few of many.
If you have a dream, a project, a good idea or invention maybe you should give it a try. You have NOTHING to loose.
