Link Crowd Funding Engine

Where technology ends and people care.

Over the last century few things remained unchanged. One of them is the fact that the population is growing. And this growth, in the context of crowd funding is good news!

From the domain of the payment platforms, based in a deep knowledge of the 3rd sector and the social dynamics related to social media, to the launching of the 1st Food Bank campaign on the Internet, was just a small step.

The platform developed and the expertise we embody, give us the ability to address any initiative of crowd-funding, either for funding, or brain-power, or integration of resources in large organizations.

Link’s Crowd-Funding Engine is a solution based on Microsoft’s cloud platform – Windows Azure – developed to bridge technologies, need for capital and the willingness of funding as collective interest of people or organizations.

Crowd-Funding Engine enables:

Submitting projects for funding via backoffice;
Frontend web for donations paid via ATM reference ;
Automatically issuing receipts and thank you emails;
Facebook pages highlighting the project requiring funding.

We believe that for developing a Crowd-Funding Project serious and scalable it is required not only to master the technologies, but also give confidence that the projects being funded are supported by principles and have evaluation grids, and that give assurance to funders that the project will be executed.
