"Crowdfunding: go equity or go home"....okay, so this is not to say that various forms of crowdfunding (e.g. 'pledge', lending, revenue-share) are without valid niches. Pledge crowdfunding, for example, can be fantastic for various fan-centric projects. But equity-based crowdfunding is at the center of crowdfunding's future ecosystem for typical high-risk startups.
This is purely a mathematical reality. There are a proliferation of crowdfunding platforms emerging, many with investment models destined for niches at best, and the 'dust bin' at worst. I wanted to give some clarity, as many haven't thought through the macro picture. Again, this is a discussion aimed at early stage 'angel' style investments in risky startups.

The stock market-crash of 1929 and the Great Depression that followed really messed it up for crowdfunding, imposing restrictions that 82 years later would make it really difficult to use the social network for raising money for start-ups. So, we are now all connected via social networks – we like the idea of funding our favorite causes and we are happy to freely donate some of our money without an expected return – we also feel good about helping to fund a small business entrepreneur buy a tractor and retire the mules, all we expect is a reasonable rate of interest. We see another good business idea and for a small investment we get a cut of the revenue generated. But, why can’t we invest in a start-up venture and get a piece of the action!
