Summary

Crowdfunding is a financing method that enables individuals and businesses to raise small amounts of money from a large number of people, typically via the internet.

Detailed Description

This decentralized approach democratizes funding and provides opportunities for startups and artistic projects that might struggle to secure traditional financing.
