Geldanlage über Internet-Plattformen: Hohe Rendite, mehr Risiko?
Geldanlagen über Internet-Plattformen stoßen auf wachsendes Interesse, aber auch auf Skepsis. „Die Renditen sind beim Crowdinvesting meist deutlich höher als beispielsweise auf dem Tagesgeldkonto, aber das Risiko ist auch größer“, sagte Wolf Brandes, Finanzmarktwächter bei der Verbraucherzentrale Hessen, der Deutschen Presse-Agentur.

 

Nach Beobachtung der Verbraucherschützer werden Zinsen von durchschnittlich 4,5 Prozent geboten, in der Spitze sind es zehn Prozent.


„Anleger sollten die Risiken und Chancen und insbesondere die Ausgestaltung der Verträge genau prüfen“, mahnte Brandes. „Das Risiko reicht bis zum Totalverlust des Geldes im Falle einer Insolvenz.“ Internetplattformen sammeln dabei Geld zum Beispiel zur Finanzierung vor allem von Startups. Ist die Firma erfolgreich, erhalten Anleger Zinsen oder eine Gewinnbeteiligung. Häufig handelt es sich den Angaben zufolge um Nachrangdarlehen - im Falle einer Insolvenz bekommen die Investoren ihr Geld also erst, wenn alle anderen Gläubiger ausbezahlt wurden - oder erfolgsabhängige Darlehen.

The Trouble with Crowdfunding and Red Flags

The Trouble with Crowdfunding and Red Flags | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Writing about crowdfunding campaigns is a minefield. We don’t cover many, but when we do, we’re very careful to only bring you the highest quality projects. On one recent occasion,...


There are so many crowdfunding campaigns vying for attention that we reject well over 95 percent of the pitches we receive. After all, in most cases, they’re nothing more than pipedreams. At their best, crowdfunding campaigns bring fantastic products like the Pebble smartwatch and Oculus Rift into the world. At their worst, they can be scams designed to extract money from over-enthusiastic coolhunters.

What Is Crowdfunding And How Does It Benefit The Economy | #ICT #Business #Entrepreneurship | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Crowdfunding is by definition, “the practice of funding a project or venture by raising many small amounts of money from a large number of people, typically via the Internet.”  Check out this video to get a clearer idea of the step by step process of crowdfunding.

In a seemingly nonstop recession wave, small businesses are struggling more than ever to stay afloat, and entrepreneurs are not facing great odds. Crowdfunding offers these individuals a chance at success, by showcasing their businesses and projects to the entire world.

There are numerous donation crowdfunding platforms where entrepreneurs can safely ask for capital such as Kickstarter, Indiegogo, RocketHub, and investment platforms like 1000 Angels, the company I co-founded, to name a few. While each site offers their unique spin, the general concept is the same across the board. Project creators can create a profile typically containing a short video, an introduction to their project, a list of rewards per donation, and some images to elaborate. The idea is to create a compelling message that readers will be drawn towards.
