Little analysis about most important sites of crowd funding offered by sostartup.com

Nov. 24, 2012 - PRLog -- In Italy coming to hear about Startup and Crowdfunding with the Development Decree 2.0. Created to develop an issue where skepticism can undermines the foundations of a fund raising system (that of social financing, better known as crowdfunding precisely). This is at least what he believes Sostartup, a digital platform with the ambitious goal of delivering the most relevant information about the theme.

The data is very clear: in the U.S.A , platforms like kickstarter.com and indiegogo.com have a global rank of 715 and 2000 respectively, with a percentage of visits to the USA 40% and 41.3%.

Kickstarter, for example, has financed projects for a total amount of $ 359,000,000 (the most funded project was to getpebble.com with $ 10,266,845)

This makes us understand how the crowdfunding is not just wishful thinking but absolute certainty.

In Italy, however, platforms like Starteed.com and produzionidalbasso.com are not famous, these are only 12,667 and 14,619 in Italian rank.

Produzionidalbasso, in particular boasts a total of 217 projects funded for a total of € 641,110.59: significant numbers but far from record of United States websites.

Some might focus on the difference in density of the populations Italy-USA, with a difference of about two hundred and fifty million people but U.K., appears to show a much more marked interest towards this topic, Kickstarter is one of the most visited site.

Mentality? Culture? Disinterest or distrust? At this point, you must stop and understand the reasons for such differences of approach towards crowdfunding and ask what's wrong, or rather what makes not being exploited to its fullest potential.
