Crowdsourcing is gaining investor popularity

We are very excited to be in the early stages of developing crowd-sourced services. Here’s a quick overview of the investment trends in our world:

“This year, venture capital finally recognized the impact and potential of crowd-driven platforms. Dorothy Sanders of Sandfish Design estimates that over $280 million of venture capital was invested in 35 different crowdsourcing platforms in 2011, with an average investment of over $8 million … Crowdsourcing [is] clearly a disruptive business model that replaces inefficient processes, delivers real value to customers, and generates real dollars.”
