#DODIFFERENT WITH CrowdFundHer Live
Planning an event? It’s time to #DoDifferent.
One organiser took crowdfunding offline into spatial reality.
A 20th century buzzword coined by Kickstarter, power is given to the people to monetarily back
projects or ideas they believe in.
CROWDFUNDING

Awesomeness in action!
FEATURE FEMALE SPEAKERS, PRETTY PLEASE 1
Panelists in business-related events tend to be male-dominated despite the rise of female
C-Suite executives and entrepreneurs.
Giving women opportunities to speak up could inspire even more to venture out.

Offline communities amplify a sense of reality, belonging and camaraderie.
Meeting a person face-to-face
takes emotional connection
and empathy to the next level.
Woomentum understands this though they are an online crowdsourcing
platform.
They’ve created an offline avenue for their community to
engage, participate, and connect with each other.
Consider organising an event for your community and discover the difference a
personal touch can make!

How, you ask?
An event page was created on Peatix for the audience to immediately
purchase tickets to back a specific project upon hearing the pitch.
A total of $1260 was raised in two hours
by the power of live crowdfunding.
With lower platform fees compared to traditional crowdfunding sites, more
money went into funding the projects.
Now that’s certainly one way you could use a ticketing platform!
