<description><![CDATA[Ever heard of crowd-funding? Maybe you've seen it as "crowdfunding." Either way, not many people know what it is...or how it can help them fund their start-up or existing business. Crowd-funding is a term that's been around only a couple of years. It first became known, though only in a limited way, because of a website called Kickstarter. The current buzz, however, stems from the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (JOBS) signed into law by President Obama on April 5, 2012. That law allows people of means to invest in small and start-up companies, a novel but interesting option for owners of such companies.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I can't help but continue to remain optimistic about the new possibilities for entrepreneurs with CROWDFUND INVESTING under the new JOBS ACT.  Crowfunded start-ups could range across a spectrum of ventures from local shops and restaurateurs, to movie projects, to construction, to tech companies, and more.  In an interesting twist to marketing plans, your best patrons are going to be your crowdfunding investors.  Talk about brand loyalty!  Communities can now invest in themselves and community members will share in the upside (be incentived to help prevent a downside). ]]></description>

While experts agree that the formulas are highly accurate for grading the readability of existing texts, they are not so useful for creating or modifying them. Rather than relying on formulas to improve a grant proposal, readability is enhanced by observing good writing practices.]]></description>
