That, plus more funding for more crowdfunding! Specifically 12 million dollars of funding from big names for Crowdtilt, a platform that Reddit fans are also familiar with. It aims to make crowdfunding more social by encouraging groups to gather and fund everything from charity causes to vacations. Finally, we discuss why anyone interested in crowdsourcing should spend more time in a casino.
