Question

Why would a researcher use a crowdfunding platform?

Answer

The most successful crowdfunded projects require regular updates, and it is an opportunity to engage your supporters in science. In fact, it may be best to think of crowdfunding as a public engagement activity, more than a fundraising activity. The “sweet spot” for most crowdfunded projects is fairly small, around $5,000.
