We enable inventors and tech&nbsp;entrepreneurs to crowdfund capital needs as well as crowdsource to build a base for marketing, new partnership and clients. As featured in&nbsp;</span><i>Crain&#39;s Chicago Business</i><span>,&nbsp;</span><i>The Huffington Post</i><span>,&nbsp;</span><i>The Economist</i><span>&nbsp;and others.&nbsp;</span></p> <p>Unlike other popular sites which feature &quot;technology&quot; but actually host artistic ventures or design projects/products that mainly are additions/accessories to existing products, we focus exclusively on novel, innovative, homegrown, American technologies. We insist on the most innovative technologies and inventions for our site and indeed there is a lot out there that can benefit from a crowdfunding platform such as ours.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Who are we?</strong></p> <p>Our company was founded by scientists and social entrepreneurs and we feel crowdfunding is the future in empowering small businesses and new inventors to bring innovation back to our country and economy.</p> <p>Our main goal is to empower people with ideas, reward risk-takers and make society better by giving people a chance to materialize their dreams through the power of crowds.</p> <p>The world needs innovative solutions to our most pressing problems and there are good, capable, smart people out there working on them. With <a href="http://www.TechMoola.com">TechMoola.com</a>, we hope to bring innovation back to our country, society, economy and the world that we depend on and are deeply connected to.</p> <p><strong>What we do</strong></p> <p>The power of democracy has come to the funding world in full scale. It is a quiet revolution that&#39;s been taking place over the past 2 years, one that is redistributing power from the hands of the privileged elite such as banks, high net-worth individuals and venture groups to the everyday man who can use his own common sense and judgment of societal needs and not bottom-line profit considerations to fund, promote and be associated with something that is important to them and which they feel will make a difference in their interdependent and interconnected world. From here on out, patronage will no longer be the privilege of the wealthy any more. With sites like <a href="http://www.TechMoola.com">TechMoola.com</a>, anyone can be the patron of an invention as long as it is funded through a crowdfunding service.</p>
