9 Australian Crowdfunding Web Sites

ASSOB

The Australian Small Scale Offerings Board, or ASSOB, is spearheaded by Paul Niederer and has been active in the crowdfunding space since 2005.

The ASSOB facilitates equity crowdfunding via curated deals and accredited investors.

ChipIn

The team at ChipIn “built Chip In to make sure that even if you’re only able to give $1 of your money or a minute of your time, you know that you, along with hundreds of other generous Australians are building a more awesome Australia.” Transparency is key to their pitch. ChipIn allows backers to track the impact of their donations through the site.

CitiNiche

CitiNiche uses their own spin on crowdsourcing and crowdfunding to empower renters and those seeking property to interact with large developers. Developers get the peace of mind that their properties have committed tenants and buyers before breaking ground, and the “crowd” gets the chance to influence the spaces they want to live in.

Crowded

Crowded is a support company based in Australia that is in the midst of a web site redesign at the time of writing. Crowded is a modern agency offering crowdfunding consulting services alongside PR, marketing, web design and graphic design services as well.

EverydayHero

EverydayHero has helped thousands of “everyday heroes” raise over $100 million for charitable causes since launching in 2007. Although EverydayHero is active in Australia, they also aim to help nonprofits in New Zealand, Singapore and the UK. Interestingly, project creators pick from an already curated list of 1200 charities and choose one to support. The creator then creates a pitch page saying why they are supporting that charity or cause and backers can contribute.

Pozible

Innovative features of the platform include the ability to launch private projects in order to control who has access to a project’s page. They also have a really slick search UI that is worth a look by itself.
