crowd funding website
InvestedIn was a crowd funding website for fund raising projects and charity events such as walkathons and celebrity cause-based campaigns. The company was also a technology provider offering a white label crowdfunding platform for commercial and non-profit use.
History
InvestedIn was founded in 2010 by Alon Goren and Yadid Ramot. The company launched the service at the DEMO conference Founder Alon Goren used crowdfunding on stage sponsor their trip to the conference. InvestedIn raised $45,000 after being accepted to the AmplifyLA accelerator program.
Model
One of a number of fundraising platforms dubbed "crowd funding," the consumer facing website from InvestedIn allowed any individual to create a fundraising project. InvestedIn did not limit the kinds of project they accepted, unlike other platforms such as Kickstarter. Project creators could choose from two campaign types, "tipping point" campaigns where they set a goal, only receiving funds when their project meets or exceeds that goal, and "deadline" campaigns where they try raise as much money as they can during a limited time frame. Funds were collected via credit card payment through a merchant processor.
InvestedIn collected 3% of any funds raised after a project becomes successful.

“InvestedIn” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, InvestedIn, crowd and funding provides the most credible route into that argument.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 22, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6060630. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2010.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
