Crowdfunding

Can a new startup raise its first 50K financing round via crowdfunding platform w/o a VC backing? What are the best deal incentives for the investor?

First of all let's specify there are different kinds/models of crowdfunding platforms for business. There are reward based ones like Kickstarter/Indiegogo, and these are usually used as sort of pre-selling platforms; it seems it's not at all your case! There are, instead, equity crowdfunding platforms, that probably match with what you need. Some examples are EarlyShares, Crowdcube, Fundable or maybe Angelist too can fit very well for your startup, even though it's not exactly a crowdfunding platform, but I'd say better a crowdsourcing platform. In each case, still, you'll have to deal with VCs and investors, and satisfy their questions and requirements. What changes, mostly, is that you can get a higher audience. If, instead, you're looking for revenue shares platforms, I reviewed about 400 international platforms, and I looked a lot for one like this, but no one is really working with real revenue shares model (and probably it's not at all easy to do!). In case you need to dig in more, I'd be glad to set a quick call. All the best!

Business in India

Is it possible to legally run a crowdfunding campaign for an India-based startup?

At the moment is not possible to run a campaign on Kickstarter from India. But for sure there are lots of other platforms where you can raise money from India as startup. From what you write it seems that you need and international platform so probably Indiegogo can be one of the best options. In case you think you strongly need Kickstarter the only possible way to run a campaign there is to find a person/company from one of eligible countries on Kickstarter (such as US, UK, Canada, etc...). Some other platforms may fit good for you but I would need to know more about the project to launch. If you're interested and want to dig in more, we can set a quick call. All the best!
