Thundafund is South Africa’s leading online Crowdfunding marketplace for creatives and innovators.
Through Thundafund, entrepreneurs with their respective projects & ideas can raise capital and build a supportive crowd of backers through the process of crowdfunding.
“In 5 years time people will see crowdfunding as a no-brainer when it comes to launching a new idea or project.
Why would you spend your time and cash on an idea without first asking your future customers if they would buy it?
Crowdfunding is the ultimate in the democratization of finance.
The many, coming together to back people who create products that they would like to see materialized in the world.”
