During economic depressions the morale of a country’s citizens completely collapses! Fundanation is an NGO platform that is going to start on the WEB as a SOLUTION to the PROBLEMS caused by the economic system's continuous crashes.
The statistics show that a Nation in the case of an economic crisis Experiences catastrophic situations of warfare proportions.
Businesses collapse, Unemployment rates climb, Poverty rates triple, Suicides multiply and the ones who struggle the most are the Young adults who try to stand on their feet.
The future of a country is determined by the youth, which represents the only resource capable of reversing the situation, but its wings are broken and it doesn’t act, as it lacks:
These are the elements that will enable the youth to act.
Fundanation is bringing those means together for the sake of every troubled Nation.
Fundanation is a non-profit organization which aims to raise funds to facilitate innovative business ideas come to life. It is a crowdfunding and crowdsourcing way of doing business.
Our social web platform's goal is to spur creativity through interactivity. It is a sandbox for your ideas, where they can be discussed, refined and re-shaped so that they ultimately evolve into a winning recipe. And those of you that have already processed your ideas, along with a rigorous business plan presentation, you can enter one of our funding competitions!
Our initiative aspires to merge people, companies and organizations into a vibrant community of donators and entrepreneurs. Each member of the community can aid in shaping the business future of a country by donating to our cause, by submitting a business idea, or by discussing, voting and promoting the ideas that it believes deserve to get a chance.
Fundanation consists of five main components and a unique spirit.
The UNIQUE SPIRIT lies in the DEMOCRATIC way of CHOOSING the IDEAS funded and developed, by turning your donations and promotional work into voting credits, which are used to determine the ideas that YOU believe are going to MAKE A DIFFERENCE for the NATIONS.
Fundanation is going to run consecutive funding competitions in multiple countries of the world.
For each competition, a call for uploading innovative business ideas will be made. Enterpreneurs who respond to a competition call, will have to upload their business ideas, which will start getting peer-reviewed by the community. Those ideas can be discussed and refined by raving fans and supporters, until the beginning of the Funding competition in question.
For a Funding competition to begin, a minimum amount of donated capital will be set, within a maximum allowed timeframe. When any of these two limits is reached, the competition starts and the community is called to vote for the most fulfilling business ideas. At the end of the competition, a handful of business ideas will jump out and win their share of the total amount of funds!
To begin our journey, we have chosen to run our first funding competition in Greece.
You can participate in our cause in many ways. But don't forget! Right now and until we launch, we mostly need you to "spread the word" and donate! After launching our platform, you will be able to participate in the following four ways:
If you believe in the IDEA of Fundanation, you are more than welcome to contribute and donate any amount you like.
If YOU believe it, WE will make it happen!
You will be able to share and promote the most intriguing business ideas you browse in the Fundanation platform, so as to let your friends and family know about them.
You can discuss about the business ideas you come across or provide professional expertise in our forum and project pages, you can give feedback, you can envision, you can make it all happen!
Donations and Promotion of ideas will give you voting credits to use during the Funding Competition.
NOW is the time to start voting for the future’s innovative business ideas, which will boost a nation’s economy.
Through Fundanation people can:
The value companies and organisations are getting, comes from a whole new perspective:
The empowering of a nation’s entrepreneurs will lead to:
Fundanation is a great opportunity for people, companies and organisations to support, fund and decide about innovative business ideas. This is a democratic, social and business platform where you can decide on a nation's business future.
You could use Fundanation for various reasons:
The donation of ANY amount of money is essential for Fundanation to fund tomorrow’s businesses. Even 1 euro is important. These donations will then be used to fund the business ideas that are going to win the competition of Fundanation.
Fundanation is a non-profit organization aiming to fund innovative and profitable businesses. Donations are collected and maintained within Fundanation, waiting for the best business ideas to win the Fundanation Competition. Fundanation as an NGO withholds a percent of the raised funds to maintain some administration costs. Those are subject to discussion and approval by the community and can by no means exceed 5% of the total capital raised.
The funds gathered from donations will be delivered to those business ideas that win the Fundanation Competition. Before delivering the money to the winners, we make sure that the business has been established in the country the competition is held and is properly launched.
The business ideas that win the Fundanation Competition get funded. In order to win the competition you have to collect as many votes as possible from the community. The more money donated, the more ideas will be funded.
You earn the right to vote for the business ideas of your choice by collecting voting credits. Voting credits are awarded when you participate in the following ways in the Fundanation movement:
You are deciding on the business ideas that ultimately get funded. The most voted business ideas democratically receive the funds to start their business future.
The first competition for business ideas will start in Greece and will address Greek entrepreneurs. Greece is facing fierce economic problems and severe austerity measures. This is why it is the first country on our Fundanation list.
Fundanation requires a semi-annual brief report from each funded business, in order to present to the community their progress and justify the money donated. The Fundanation team can and will from time to time visit the funded businesses to monitor the implementation of their strategy.
"Yes! I want to be a part of it!"
