I have introduced in previous entries Top 5 Music PR Companies in Oz and Top 5 Indie Labels in Oz and now I introduce you MBC's Top 5 Crowdfunding Companies that you should know.
If you are looking to fund your music, EP launch, tour, film, etc. then you have come to the right place.
In case you're not sure what crowdfunding is, here it is in a nutshell.
Crowdfunding is a method of raising capital through the collective effort of friends, family, customers, and individual investors. This approach taps into the collective efforts of a large pool of individuals - primarily online via social media and crowdfunding platforms - and leverages their networks for greater reach and exposure.

Let's begin with MBC's Top 5 Crowdfunding Companies.
Pozible: https://pozible.com/
How does it work?
Pozible provides the platform for project creators to present their ideas to a connected audience worldwide. If people love what you're creating, they can support it by pledging money. In return, project creators offer rewards matched to the level of funding commitment.
What makes us different?
We believe in crowdfunding for everyone. That means providing help to creators to give them the best possible chance of success - and the highest success rate of any major platform. If you'd like to talk about a campaign, get in touch contact us via the website.
How did it start?
A few years ago, Rick and Alan were working on another project when they met an artist with amazing talent. Like many such artists, she was frustrated by having to keep her art 'on the side'. The story resonated. They'd heard it many times before from friends and colleagues.
They asked themselves; could crowdsourcing be used to make funds available in a way specifically suited to the needs of creative people? Could they build a user-friendly tool allowing creators to secure pledges against offered rewards, thereby making resources available to creators during the critical production and crowdsourcing for social enterprise and community development, they developed a model flexible enough for all kinds of endeavors, with few of the time and complexity issues of traditional funding models.
Pledges come from: 105 countries
Success rate: 57%
Raised in Pledges: AU$50 Million+
Projects Launched: 12,155+
Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/
Patreon helps creators of all kinds get sustainable income and connect with their biggest fans.
Mission:
Support, engage and FUND the emerging creative class.
Story:
For creators: Patreon is a way to get paid for creating the things you're already creating (webcomics, videos, songs etc.). Fans pledge a few bucks per month OR per thing you release and then you get paid every month, or every time you release something new (where it's on SoundCloud, YouTube, your own website or anywhere).
For fans: Patreon is a way to pay your favorite creators for making the stuff you love. Instead of literally throwing money at your screen (trust us, that doesn't work), you can now pledge $2 per video and the creator releases 3 videos in February, then your card gets charged a total of $6 that month. This means the creator gets paid regularly (every time the creator releases something new), and you become a bonafide, real-life patron of the arts.

*Through Patreon, fans have given over $100 million to creators.
