How FoodCycle eco café raised $7,942 in a Week

 

FoodCycle is an Eco Cafe in London which uses food that

would have gone to a landfill to create a “pay what you can” lunch.

They are only open on Fridays.

This money will help them stay open for another year.

They used the Peoplefun.it platform.

They used Twitter and had some celebrities support it.

274 people backed this project.

They also used Facebook, Google+, Tumbler, and Linked in

This was a very short project. No doubt they were clear on

their audience and did a lot of pre-planning.

Thom from Channel 4’s Three Hungry Boys visited the café to show their support by

making a video.

Daniel Turi, the FoodCycle Café Co-ordinator, said: “It’s amazing how people came together through Twitter over just five days and raised enough money to keep the café going for another year.

“It shows the importance of the café in the community and we’re now really looking forward to doing more and more in the future.”

Raise Money with Crowd Funding

February 5, 2012 by  
Filed under Featured Articles, Front Page

I’ve been telling people to start their own business for years.

Even if you have a career, your own business can be the thing

that balances your financial ups and down. Now in this economy it takes

a career AND your own business to make it. Take a look around you.

See who is making it through the recession and see if YOU

don’t see that most of them have both going!

The other thing is money. It’s always the reason why people do not start,

grow, building, advertise. or promote their business.

Most people have not come through the last financial storms

with enough to qualify for a bank loan. Many businesses are

too small for investors to be interested. They are trying to make

millions on their investments. Family and friends are mostly

tapped out. Now there is a way to raise the money

without loans that have to be paid back, without

selling shares of your company and giving away control.

It’s called Crowd Funding. If money is truly the

ONLY thing keeping you from moving forward on your

business idea, then Crowd Funding can get

the money in 60-90 days.

This is for people who are ready to go. That means everything is in place

you just need the money to execute. If you still have to figure things out,

make a plan, decide on things, then this is not for you.

But it if is for you, let’s talk about it! Get some information so you can get

started! Attend our Feb 15th Crowd Funding meeting at 6:30 pm and

start on the path to your dream. We know it takes money, now we know how to

get it!
