The new hot topic for entrepreneurs these days is crowd funding, which is anticipated to at least supplement, if not replace, the slow and mysterious process of current Angel and venture capital investors. The problem is that crowd funding means something different to everyone, and even I have been confused by the different ways the term gets used.
Will the Real Crowd Funding Model Please Stand Up?

I wonder if a number of these models won't persist for quite some time since they all arise from different motivations on the part of the investors. Some, like good cause funding, have existed for a long time under other names like "donation", etc. Sure there are differences, but I suspect the diversity in the crowd funding ecosystem may be here to stay.
