for this insightful post.

crowdfunding be the future for techmedia start-ups?</span><o:p></o:p></h1>
<p class=q-details style='background:white'><span lang=EN style='font-family:<br />
"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>It seems to me that technology and media<br />
start-ups have always found it difficult to find adequate start-up funding even<br />
in the good times. Now it is even more difficult. However, as founder and CEO<br />
of <a href="http://www.dreamstake.ning.com/">www.dreamstake.ning.com</a> it<br />
occurs to me that the environment is becoming more conducive to a new more self<br />
contained business model with less reliance on external sources of funding. <br />
Firstly, the bootstrapping of technology solutions has become a real<br />
possibility. The entry point for many technologies is extremely low, sometimes<br />
free of cost. Providers such as Ning, Google and Huddle offer a &#8216;freemium&#8217;<br />
model that makes it extremely easy to launch &#8216;beta&#8217; services at minimal cost.<br />
Open source also facilitates this process. <br />
Next, there are many excellent individuals available to offer their services at<br />
good rates or even to barter services. The internet allows us to access this<br />
talent pool and consider the &#8216;crowdsourcing&#8217; of projects as a real option. We<br />
are currently building this model on DreamStake and will announce our approach<br />
very shortly. <br />
Finally, crowdfunding becomes a distinct possibility. In this model a community<br />
such as DreamStake elects to fund certain projects through the membership<br />

build up critical mass and put in place the structures to support this approach.<br />

This bit of the conversation reminded me of www.beprofessional.com (introduced to
me by Michelle Bray from this group) which even in its free, Lite version has
plenty of good resources for the startup:

<p>Great ideas in this email.&nbsp; </p>
<p>Meriem I think Smarta is a great source of info for entrepreneurs<br />
(congratulations on your 3 months!) </p>
<p>I&#8217;d like to add as feedback that it will be awesome to get some kind of legal<br />
support, not only in the form of Q&amp;A&#8217;s from your legal partners but also in<br />
the form of legal documents such as shareholder agreements, contracts, terms<br />
&amp; conditions and so on, the basics in order to give a hand to all of us who<br />
are trying to make it for the first time, or second or even third and don&#8217;t<br />
have the cash to pay expensive lawyers/solicitors!</p>
<p>
All the best,</p>

<p>Hey all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p>&nbsp;<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p>Not sure if this has already been mentioned, or if anyone can be bothered -<br />
but I think its a good idea.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p>&nbsp;<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p>Phillip mentioned a similar concept in a previous mail, where he&#8217;s collated<br />
a list of the best places to find icons, as suggested by this list (<a<br />
href="http://snagsta.com/people/phillip-hofmeyr/lists/where-to-find-website-icons5264"<br />
target="_blank">http://snagsta.com/people/phillip-hofmeyr/lists/where-to-find-website-icons5264</a>)<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p>&nbsp;<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p>I read most mails that come through this list, and I&#8217;ve seen an outrageous<br />
amount of invaluable content recommended: videos, podcasts, angel investor<br />
networks, funds, events, blogs, sites etc.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p>
So, the question I ask is, do we think it might be a good idea to collate all<br />
this in some sort of searchable area? Might not be a wiki, but I&#8217;m going to<br />
have a look anyway.<o:p></o:p></p>

Geoff I &#160;think it is an excellent idea to
collate the invaluable information that comes through this forum &#8211; so that
it is searchable at a later date &#8211; often content does not appear relevant
at the time, but later such nuggets of wisdom can make the difference between success
and failure.

Karlheinz,

How easy would that be to do?! That sorta sounds like the best idea today!

Thanks,

<div>Hey all,
<div></div>
<div>Not sure if this has already been mentioned, or if anyone can be bothered &#8211; but I think its a good idea.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Phillip mentioned a similar concept in a previous mail, where he&#39;s collated a list of the best places to find icons, as suggested by this list (<a href="http://snagsta.com/people/phillip-hofmeyr/lists/where-to-find-website-icons5264" target="_blank">http://snagsta.com/people/phillip-hofmeyr/lists/where-to-find-website-icons5264</a>)</div>
<div></div>
<div>I read most mails that come through this list, and I&#39;ve seen an outrageous amount of invaluable content recommended: videos, podcasts, angel investor networks, funds, events, blogs, sites etc.</div>
<div>So, the question I ask is, do we think it might be a good idea to collate all this in some sort of searchable area? Might not be a wiki, but I&#39;m going to have a look anyway.</div>
<div></div>
<div>It&#39;d have to be a crowd sourced [buzz buzz] effort.</div>
