Kahor imaatinka dhaqaale-ururinta, sida kaliya ee aad ku heli karto lacagta caddaanka ah ee alaabtaada tignoolajiyada ugu dambeysay waxay ahayd inaad u sujuuddo maalgashadayaasha hodanka ah ee raadinaya kaliya inay helaan faa'iidada ugu badan. Maalgashadayaasha kuwaas oo aan runtii wax dareen ah u qabin badeecada ama fikradda se, laakiin runtii way daryeelaan haddii ay iibin doonto hal milyan oo unug wakhtiga rikoodhada.

Taas hadda waa is beddeshay. Crowdfunding waxay u ogolaataa dadka caadiga ah inay ku laataan dhowr dollar si ay ganacsatada dhalaalaya iyo geesinimada leh ay u keenaan aragtidooda nolosha. Inta badan dadka maalgeliya agabka teknoolojiyadda ee ciriiriga ah waxay runtii rabaan badeecada lafteeda ama ugu yaraan waxay rabaan inay jiraan.

Caveat Emptor – Buyer Beware!

Dabcan, maal-galiyaha dad badan ahaan waa inaad si buuxda ula socotaa waxa aad galayso. Qaabka dadwaynaha ee caadiga ah maaha maalgashi. Dadka aad lacagta siiso wax waajib ah kuma aha inay dib kuu soo celiyaan. Ma aha maalgashi, ma lihid saamiyo, balan qaadka alaabta la keenayna maaha mid ku xidhan sida dad badani u malayn karaan.

Tani waxay ka dhigan tahay inaadan waligaa maalgelin mashruuc lacag ururin ah oo aadan ku qanacsanayn inaad qorto. Tiro badan oo mashruucyo ah ma guulaysan doonaan, laakiin haddii aad wakhti ku qaadato inaad si dhab ah u akhrido garoommada waxaad wanaajin kartaa fursadahaaga inaad ku taageerto guuleystaha.

Haddaba xaggee baad ka soo dukaamaysanaysaa si aad u maal gashato sheekada guusha weyn ee maalgalinta tignoolajiyada soo socota? Kuwani waa afar ka mid ah goobaha ugu caansan ee maalgalinta ee loo yaqaan alaabada tignoolajiyada weyn. Waxaan ka saarnay goobaha lacag bixinta sida GoFundMe , kuwaas oo inta badan diiradda saara sababaha samafalka, in kasta oo mararka qaarkood aad sidoo kale halkaas ka heli doonto mashaariic la xidhiidha teknoolojiyadda.

Kickstarter

Kickstarter waa canugga boodhka kacaankii badnaa ee dhaqaale wuxuuna jiray ilaa 2009. Qaar ka mid ah mashaariicda tignoolajiyada ugu caansan (iyo kuwa caanka ah^(infamous) ) ayaa lagu maalgeliyay Kickstarter . 

Hadda qaabka Kickstarter waa mid si fiican loo yaqaan oo inta badan la koobiyeeyay. Haddii mashruucu buuxin waayo qaddarka maalgelintiisa ee la codsaday, lama maalgelin doono. Markaa waxaad "ballanqaadaysaa" qaddar, halkii aad isla markiiba oo toos ah u dhiibi lahayd lacagta caddaanka ah. Waxba kuma kacayso haddii mashruucu aanu helin taageero ku filan.

Milkiilayaasha mashruuca waxay dejin karaan heerar abaal-marineed heerar kala duwan oo deeq ah. Waa wax caadi ah in alaabada tignoolajiyada sida madax-madaxeedka VR ama consoles-yada ciyaarta ay ku daraan heer kaa caawiya unug. Iibsadayaasha Kickstarter^{(Kickstarter)} inta badan waxay helayaan cutubyada ugu horreeya ee aad uga hooseeya qiimaha tafaariiqda, laakiin dabcan waligaa waxba ma heli kartid.

Goobtani waxay si qurux badan u tahay joogsiga ugu horreeya ee qof kasta oo raadinaya inuu caawiyo dadka badan ee qalabaysan, maadaama ay sidoo kale soo jiidato qaar ka mid ah mashaariicda ugu fiican. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, qof kastaa ma jecla qaabka Kickstarter . Nasiib wanaag waxaa jira waxyaabo kale.

Indiegogo

Rumayso ama ha rumaysan, IndieGoGo waxaa la bilaabay ka hor ^{(before )}Kickstarter , inkasta oo aysan isla markiiba helin wax badan. Fikradda sidoo kale waxay la mid tahay Kickstarter , iyada oo milkiilayaasha mashruuca ay bixiyaan abaal-marin heersare ah oo loogu talagalay dadka u laad lacag caddaan ah iyaga.

Tan iyo 2016 IndieGoGo waxay sidoo kale bixisaa suurtagalnimada iibinta sinnaanta maalgashadayaasha yar yar, laakiin mabda'a ahaan ma ahan goob lacag ururin sinnaan ah. Mashaariicda intooda badani wali way ka badan yihiin ama ka yar yihiin la mid ah qaabka Kickstarter .

IndieGoGo waxay sidoo kale bixisaa goob suuq ah oo aad si toos ah uga iibsan karto alaabada horeba loo heli karo. Markaa haddii aad kaliya raadinayso inaad hesho qalab cusub oo cusub, waa beddel fiican sannadaha ay qaadan karto mashaariicda curdunka ah si ay uga baxaan dhulka. 

Siyaabo badan ayuu IndieGoGo u dareemaya wax yar oo cusub oo dabacsanaan badan marka loo eego Kickstarter uu sameeyo maalmahan oo wali soo jiidata fikrado badan oo mashruuca AAA ah oo mudnaanteeda leh. ^(AAA)Waa qasab in la joojiyo haddii aad dareemayso deeqsinimo.

Gaadiid badan^{(Crowdsupply)(Crowdsupply)}

Haddii aad dareento inay jiraan wax badan oo la jecel yahay, waxaad dareemeysaa mashruucyo teknoloji oo wanaagsan oo ku saabsan goobaha waaweyn ee maalgalinta guud, markaa boggan adigaa leh. Crowdsupply waxay diiradda saartaa qalabyada adag, iyada oo inta badan qaybaha mashruucyadeeda ay eegayaan codsiyada nerdy sida isku xidhka, robotics iyo qalabka furan. Weli waxaa jira qaybo loogu talagalay cuntada, alaabta lagu ciyaaro iyo wixii la mid ah, laakiin guud ahaan waa janno kuwa jecel looxyada wareegga iyo urta alxanka.

Wax kale oo ka dhigaya Crowdsupply ka duwan waa magaca. Shirkadu waxay aad ugu dheeraatay si aan caadi ahayn si ay u hubiso in mashaariicda la maalgeliyo oo la abuuray ay ka dhigaan gacmaha taageerayaasha. Waxay leeyihiin kaabayaasha qaybinta iyaga u gaar ah oo had iyo jeer hubi in alaabta guul la sameeyey oo la keeno. 

Waxa kale oo ay leeyihiin shuruudo aad u adag oo khuseeya ka hor inta aan qof loo oggolaan inuu liis gareeyo mashruuca. Isku soo wada duuboo, Crowdsupply aad ayuu uga faa'ideysanayaa isticmaalaha marka loo eego tartanka waxaana uu leeyahay qaar ka mid ah mashaariicda tignoolajiyada cusub ee dhabta ah, inkasto kuwa ka sexy yar yihiin. 

Crowdfunder

Si ka duwan goobaha kale ee dadku ku badan yahay Crowdfunder waxay u ogolaataa maalgelin dhab ah oo ku soo celinaysa sinnaanta shirkadda su'aasha. Tani waxay wax ka qabanaysaa dhibaato weyn oo dad badan ay ku qabaan lacag uruurin, taas oo ah in dadka aan waxba lagu lahayn lacagihii ay dhigeen. Xitaa abaal-marintii la ballan qaaday.

Qabashada ayaa ah in qof walba uusan maalgashan karin dhanka shirkadaha goobtan. Waad ku mahadsan tahay xannibaadaha sharciga, kaliya maalgashadayaasha la aqoonsan yahay ayaa loo oggol yahay inay lacagtooda galiyaan bilowyo rajo leh. Taasi si kastaba ha ahaatee waa lagu wadaa inay isbedelaan. Iyada oo laga jawaabayo isbeddelka adduunka maalgashiga, isbeddelada sharciga ayaa ku socda jidka kaas oo u oggolaanaya qof kasta in uu lacagtooda geliyo bilowga hore. 

Haddii aad eegayso inaad maalgeliso lacag aad u culus dhanka bilowga tignoolajiyada soo socda ee adduunka guulaysanaya, Crowdfunder waa meel ay tahay inaad isha ku hayso.

Tijaabi^{(Experiment)(Experiment)}

Sayniska iyo tignoolajiyada ayaa si aan kala go’ lahayn isugu xidhan. Ka dib oo dhan, waa daahfurka cilmiyaysan ee ina siinaya aqoonta aan ku samayn lahayn tignoolajiyada aan dhammaanteen jecelnahay maanta. Markaa in kasta oo mashaariicda aad ku maalgelin karto Tijaabada^(Experiment) inta badan aanay si toos ah ugu hoggaaminayn qalab gaar ah ama gizmo, waxa laga yaabaa inaad gacan ka geysato horumarinta wax beddeli kara wax kasta hal maalin. 

^(New)Farsamaynta batteriga cusub ? Taasi waa nooca shay aad ka heli doonto Tijaabada^(Experiment) . Robots ? Waxaad sharad^{(You bet)} ! Waxaa jira mashruucyo cilmi baaris oo cilmi baaris ah oo ku saabsan edbin kasta oo aad ka fikiri karto iyo haddii ay wax ku kiciyaan geek teknoolojiyadda kugu jira, markaa tani waa meel cajiib ah oo lagu tuuro dhowr naxaas ah haddii aad haysato si aad u badbaadiso. 

Dabcan, si toos ah waxba uma heli doontid, laakiin waxaad yeelan doontaa dareen diiran oo wareer ah adiga oo gacan ka geysanaya horumarinta aqoonta aadanaha.

Patreon

Patreon waa goob ay dadka ka shaqeeya dhammaan noocyada mashaariicda ay ka helaan maalgelin. Farshaxanada, abuurayaasha nuxurka iyo kaliya ku saabsan qof kasta oo u baahan gargaar dhaqaale si uu u sii wado mashaariicdooda xiisaha leh. Patreon ma aha sida Kickstarter macnaha inaad ku heli karto qalab cusub oo dhalaalaya wax ku biirintaada. Si kastaba ha noqotee, waxaa jira tinkerers tiknoolijiyada badan oo abuura waxyaabo fiican oo aad ka caawin karto goobtan. 

Waxaa laga yaabaa in ay soo saarayaan software cusub ama ay ku shaqeynayaan tusaalaha aaladaha niche. Markaad noqoto Patron , waxaad ka caawin kartaa inay ku dhegaan mashruucooda oo laga yaabo inay maalin uun u guuraan wax sida Kickstarter ama maalgelinta raasumaalka.

Markaa, si loo caddeeyo, ma heli doontid wax qalab ah oo dhab ah naftaada. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, waxaad noqon doontaa qayb ka mid ah nidaamka! Tani waxay u fiican tahay qof kasta oo jecel tignoolajiyada aawadood. Waxa kale oo jira hal-abuurayaal badan oo sameeya waxyaabo waxbarasho oo gacan ka geysan kara kobcinta jiilka soo socda ee wax-abuurayaasha, markaa runtii waa meel fiican oo lagu faafiyo jacaylka had iyo jeer.

CrowdCube

Inkasta oo qaabka Kickstarter ee ka dhigay maal-gelin dhaqaale oo caadi ah ma aha nooc ka mid ah maalgelinta, taasi macnaheedu maaha inaadan maalgelin karin iyada oo loo marayo dhaqaale-ururin. CrowdCube wuxuu^(CrowdCube) kuu ogolaanayaa inaad iibsato sinnaanta bilawga kuwaas oo maalgalin ka raadsada halkaas.

Waxaa jira mashruucyo badan oo tignoolajiyada la xiriira oo la soo bandhigay, inkastoo aadan ka heli doonin qalab, haddii shirkad la siiyay ay kacdo waxaad arki kartaa soo laabasho dhab ah. Kadib mar labaad, sida maalgelin kasta, waxaad sidoo kale arki kartaa tabarucaada oo kor u kacaya qiiqa. 

Markaa isla taladaas ayaa weli ku habboon Kickstarter iyo kuwa la midka ah. Taasi waa, ha dhigin lacag aadan awoodin inaad lumiso.

Jamhuuriyadda^{(Republic)(Republic)}

Jamhuuriyadu^(Republic) waa tusaale kale oo dhaqaale ururin ah oo sidoo kale u shaqeeya sidii maalgashi. Haddii aad lacag geliso shirkad bilow ah oo guulaysata, waxaad arki doontaa soo celinta lacagtaada. 

Jamhuuriyaddu^(Republic) waxay u kala soocdaa dhowr siyaabood. Ugu horreyntii^(First) , goobo badan oo maalgashi badan oo maalgalin ah ayaa u oggolaanaya maalgashadayaasha diiwaangashan inay lacag dhigaan. Jamhuuriyadu^(Republic) way u furan tahay cid kasta, mashaariicda qaarna waxay leeyihiin maalgelinta ugu yar ee tobanka dollar oo keliya.

Mid ka mid ah sababaha ay u maareyn karaan khatarta tani waa heerka cajiibka ah ee xulashada xulashada. Jamhuuriyadu waxay^(Republic) ku andacoonaysaa in 3% ka mid ah kuwa bilawga ah ee soo codsada ay ka gudbaan in la buux dhaafiyo. 

In kasta oo kuwa bilawga ah ee la ansixiyay ay isbeddelaan waqti ka dib oo aysan had iyo jeer yeelan doonin diiradda tignoolajiyada, waxaa jira wax badan oo loogu talagalay kuwa raadinaya inay maalgashadaan tignoolajiyada halkan. Jamhuuriyaddu^(Republic) waxay martigelisay mashruucyo la xidhiidha robotics, genomics, Fintech iyo kuwo kale oo badan. Haddii aadan maanta arkin fursad maalgashi oo xiiso leh, mar walba waad soo laaban kartaa waqti ka waqti. Yaa garanaya? Waxaa laga yaabaa inaad ku dhameysato maalgelinta Uber ama AirBnB soo socda !

Lacag Si Wanaagsan Loo Qaatay^{(Money Well Spent)}

Crowdfunding ayaa runtii badashay ciyaarta aduunka tignoolajiyada. Halkii ay ka wajihi lahaayeen qaar ka mid ah noocyada taangiyada shark ee ku habboon, hal-abuurayaashu hadda waxay si toos ah ula shaqeeyaan dadweynaha. Waxaan helnaa inaan labadeenaba muujino teknoolojiyadda aan runtii rabno oo aan helno qayb ka mid ah taariikhda marka guul weyni dhacdo. 

Haa, marnaba ma jiraan wax dammaanad ah oo aad ku heli doonto wax la taaban karo oo ku biirintaada ah, laakiin waxa hubaal ah in aanay waligood haysan wax alaab ah oo aan loo baahnayn hal-abuurayaal madax-banaani la yimaadaan. Haddaba maxaa diidaya in uu jacaylka hareeraha wax yar ku faafiyo?

Eight Places to Invest in Crowdfunding New Technology

Βefore the advent of crowdfunding, the only wаy to get the cash for your latest and greatest tech prodυct was to prostrate yоυrself before rich investors who are only looking to make maximυm profit. Investors who don’t really have any passion for the product or idea per se, but really do сare if it will sell a million units in record time.

That’s all changed now. Crowdfunding allows regular people to kick in a few dollars so that bright and bold entrepreneurs can bring their vision to life. Most people who invest in crowdfunding tech gadgets actually really want the product itself or at the very least want it to exist.

Caveat Emptor – Buyer Beware!

Of course, as a crowdfund investor you have to be fully aware of what you’re getting into. The classic crowdfunding model is not an investment. The people you give the money to are under no obligation to ever pay you back. It’s not an investment, you don’t own shares and a promise of a delivered product is not as binding as many might think.

This means you should never invest in a crowdfunding project that you are not comfortable writing off. A significant number of projects won’t succeed, but if you take the time to really read the pitches you can better your chances of backing a winner.

So where should you go shopping to invest in the next big tech crowdfunding success story? These are four of the most prominent crowdfunding sites known for great tech products. We’ve excluded crowdfunding sites such as GoFundMe, who mainly focus on charitable causes, although sometimes you’ll find tech-related projects there too.

Kickstarter

Kickstarter is the poster child of the crowdfunding revolution and has been around since 2009. Some of the most famous (and infamous) tech projects have been funded through Kickstarter. 

By now the Kickstarter model is pretty well-known and often copied. If a project does not meet its requested funding amount, it won’t be funded. So you “pledge” an amount, rather than immediately and directly handing over the cash. It won’t cost you a cent if the project doesn’t get enough backing.

Project owners can set award tiers for different levels of donation. It’s common for tech products like VR headsets or game consoles to include a tier that nets you a unit. Kickstarter buyers often get first-run units at much lower than retail prices, but of course you may never get anything at all.

This site is pretty much the first stop for anyone looking to help crowdfund a gadget, since it also attracts some of the best projects. However, not everyone likes the Kickstarter model. Luckily there are alternatives.

Indiegogo

Believe it or not, IndieGoGo was launched before Kickstarter, although it didn’t immediately get as much traction. The idea is also pretty similar to Kickstarter, with project owners offering tiered awards to people who kick some cash over to them.

Since 2016 IndieGoGo also offers the possibility of selling equity to micro-investors, but it isn’t an equity crowdfunding site in principle. Most projects are still more or less the same as the Kickstarter model.

IndieGoGo also offers a marketplace where you can directly buy products that are already available. So if you are just looking to get a new innovative gadget, it’s a great alternative to the years it might take for nascent projects to get off the ground. 

In many ways IndieGoGo feels a little more innovative and flexible than Kickstarter does these days and still attracts plenty of AAA project ideas on its own merit. It’s a must to stop by if you’re feeling generous.

Crowdsupply

If you feel that there are too many wishy-washy, feel good tech projects on the big mainstream crowdfunding sites, then this site is for you. Crowdsupply is laser-focused on hardcore hardware, with most of its project categories looking at nerdy applications such as networking, robotics and open hardware. There are still categories for food, toys and such, but overall it’s a paradise for those who love circuit boards and the smell of solder.

Another thing that sets Crowdsupply apart is in the name. The company goes to extraordinary lengths to make sure that projects that do get funded and created make it into the hands of backers. They have their own distribution infrastructure and always ensure that successful products are made and delivered. 

They also have a much stricter set of criteria that apply before someone is allowed to list a project. Overall, Crowdsupply is much more pro-user than the competition and has some truly innovative tech projects, albeit less sexy ones. 

Crowdfunder

Unlike the other crowdfunding platforms Crowdfunder allows for actual investment in return for equity in the company in question. This addresses a major problem that many people have with crowdfunding, the fact that people are owed nothing for the money they put down. Not even the promised rewards.

The catch is that not everyone can invest towards companies on this platform. Thanks to legal restrictions, only accredited investors are allowed to put their money into promising startups. That is however set to change. In response to a changing investment world, legal changes are on the way that will allow anyone to put their money into early startups. 

If you are looking at investing more serious money towards the next world-conquering tech startup, Crowdfunder is a place you should keep a keen eye on.

Experiment

Science and technology are inextricably linked. After all, it’s scientific discovery that gives us the knowledge to make the technologies we all love today. So while the projects you can fund on Experiment are usually not going to lead directly to a specific gadget or gizmo, you may help develop something that could change everything one day. 

New battery technology? That’s the sort of thing you’ll find on Experiment. Robots? You bet! There are scientific research projects in just about every discipline you can think of and if something excites the tech geek in you, then this is a wonderful place to throw a few coppers if you have them to spare. 

Of course, you won’t get anything directly in return, but you will have that warm fuzzy feeling by helping to advance human knowledge.

Patreon

Patreon is a site where people who work on all sorts of projects get funding. Artists, content creators and just about anyone who needs financial assistance to pursue their passion projects. Patreon isn’t like Kickstarter in the sense that you can get a shiny new gadget for your contribution. However, there are plenty of technology tinkerers who create cool stuff you can help out through this site. 

They might be developing new software or working on niche devices prototypes. By becoming a Patron, you can help them stick with their project and perhaps one day move on to something like Kickstarter or venture capital investment.

So, to be clear, you won’t get any actual gadgets for yourself. However, you get to be part of the process! This is pretty neat for anyone who loves technology for its own sake. There are also plenty of creators who make educational content that can help nurture the next generation of inventors, so it really is a nice place to spread the love around every now and then.

CrowdCube

While the Kickstarter model that made crowdfunding a mainstream practice is not a form of investment, that doesn’t mean you can’t invest through crowdfunding. CrowdCube lets you buy equity in startups that look for funding there.

There are plenty of technology-related projects on display and, although you won’t get a gadget out of it, if a given company takes off you may see some serious returns. Then again, as with any investment, you could also see your contribution go up in smoke. 

So the same advice still applies as it does to Kickstarter and its ilk. That is, don’t put down money you can’t afford to lose.

Republic

Republic is another example of crowdfunding that also works as an investment. If you put money into a startup that succeeds, you’ll see a return on your money. 

Republic sets itself apart in a number of ways. First of all, many investment crowdfunding platforms only allow registered investors to put money down. Republic is open to anyone, and some projects have minimum investments of only ten bucks.

One of the reasons they can manage the risk of this is the incredible degree of selectivity on offer. Republic claims that only 3% of startups who apply to them make it through to be crowdfunded. 

While the startups that are approved change over time and won’t always have a tech focus, there’s plenty for those looking to invest in technology here. Republic has hosted projects dealing with robotics, genomics, Fintech and much more. If you don’t see an interesting investment opportunity today, you can always come back from time to time. Who knows? You might end up funding the next Uber or AirBnB!

Money Well Spent

Crowdfunding has really changed the game in the tech world. Instead of facing some suited shark tank types, innovators now work directly with the public. We get to both show what technologies we really want and get to be part of history when a great success does happen. 

Yes, there are never any guarantees that you’ll get anything concrete for your contribution, but it sure beats never having any of the needless stuff independent inventors come up with. So why not spread the love around a little?
