As 2014 draws to an end, the outlook for crowdfunding does not wane one bit despite growing up pains.
The Tabb Group has estimated that the market will hit $17 billion in 2015 after having been forecasted to touch $10 billion in 2014 with more than 1000 new platforms formed. Some of the funding will come from angel investors who could invest a total of $50 billion in 2015 across all funding opportunities compared to $22.9 billion in 2012, though a more conservative estimate puts the figure at $28 billion.
