If two is company, and three’s a crowd, does seven make it crowdfunding? The seven-man team at The Spark Project would like to make it so. Though the idea of bringing the technology of crowdfunding to the Philippines has been around for a while, it was only last year that plans for this project were actually laid out. The Spark Project website was officially launched on February 16th, 2013.
According to co-founder Patch Dulay, “The Spark Project is a crowdfunding community where Filipinos can support and fund their creative, innovative, and passion driven projects.” Of its founding members, Patch says:
Our group is a mix of IT geeks and social entrepreneurs. We find it such a good team-up because our group can develop web technologies and at the same time bring them to market.
