You are probably familiar with crowdfunding through big sites such as Kickstarter and Indiegogo, and the global volume of crowdfunding platforms has been growing fast over the last years. But crowdfunding can be a lot more than funding cool tech gadgets or start-ups! 

Sports crowdfunding is also on the rise globally, and as the competition for large sponsorships and corporate deals increases, more and more athletes turn to sports crowdfunding to grow their careers. Here are the top 3 reasons why athletes choose Sports Crowdfunding!

1. Building an independent sports career

Sports crowdfunding is more than just funding, and in contrast to signing a sponsorship agreement with many specifications and demands, you are commercially independent and in control of the campaign you launch. 

2. Building a following and engaging new fans

As you tell your story and share your goals in a crowdfunding campaign, you are reaching followers and fans in a whole different way. Share updates, tell about your efforts and achievements, and stay in touch with the fans that support you! Even after your campaign is finished it will stand out as proof for what you have accomplished on your own – and the people who once supported you are more than likely to support your next goal. 

3. Focusing on what I do best

Don’t waste time doing something you don’t like! By hosting a sports crowdfunding campaign you can keep training and work towards the goals you want. You are always in control of donations, supporters and financials, and can easily have the funds you need to be paid out when exactly when you need it! (That be for competitions, gear, tournaments or championships!).
