An important update to our Paleo Pines Community🦖💙😞

Transcript Below;

Paleo Pines Needs Your Help

A lot of you have been asking what’s next for Paleo Pines and we wanted to provide our community with an update on the challenges we are facing. The sad truth is, the future is uncertain. 

For the better part of this year we’ve been working behind the scenes to create a plan for the next iteration of Paleo Pines, filled with stunning new regions, quirky new NPCs, plenty more adorable dinosaurs, plus eggs, babies and - yes - multiplayer. The job after launch seemed simple - listen to our community, provide a roadmap full of updates and DLC to ensure that our players can continue to enjoy the existing world… and double-down on that enjoyment with the plan for bigger, better, shinier Paleo Pines for you to enjoy with friends and family.

We've been searching high and low for a production partner, one that felt your love and passion to help us bring the next Paleo Pines to life. On several occasions in our journey, we were within a few small steps of the finish line, only to have circumstances beyond our control cause the future to fall through.

This isn't happening just to us. It seems the whole indie game scene is facing a sudden drying up of publishing and investment opportunities. Thanks to the unwavering dedication of our small team and the massive love from all of you, we've been able to support the first year of Paleo Pines on a shoestring budget. 

We’ve managed to keep the lights on… until now. Unless we can find a partner who is keen to see the Paleo Pines universe grow, we won’t be able to keep our team together for much longer. 

So, we’re making our situation public. Here's how you can help:

Do you know a publisher/investor who would be a great partner for Paleo Pines 2? If you're a serious publisher or investor and are interested in seeing a production plan, financial model, game design document and more, please reach out to kevin@italicpig.com. (By the way, Paleo Pines isn’t the only property we’re working on... Our talented team has a diverse collection of small, medium and large scale projects, for PC, console and mobile. If you’re looking for something fun and a little bit different, get in here.)

Can you help in smaller ways? Every little bit helps! Here are a few ways you can directly support the devs:

Have you got our DLC yet? We've just released our very first Halloween DLCs – a great way to support us while getting more gameplay for yourself.

Still playing the demo? Are we on your Wishlist? Please consider buying the full game today, or in the next sale. We promise it'll bring you hours of dino-tastic joy! 

Befriend a Paleo Pines plushie. These adorable creatures aren't just cute, our portion of the sales goes towards development. Our latest, Boo, the albino Styracosaurus, is available now. Our previous plushies helped fund our new Halloween DLCs and free update.

Order Paleo Pines merchandise. We’ve got dozens of fun items celebrating your favourite dinos available in time for gifting this year.

Even if you can't offer financial support, you can still be a hero! Share this post with anyone who might be interested in helping. Wishlist us, buy the game, talk about how it makes you feel, and share share share. The power of community is real, and every share brings us closer to making more Paleo Pines!

The team here can't express enough gratitude to the incredible Paleo Pines community. You've been with us through every step of this amazing journey, from the demo launch to the release last September, and through our adorable plushie collaborations with Makeship. You've become more than players and we couldn't have imagined building this world with a kinder, more supportive group.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for supporting us on this roller coaster of a year since launch, and your patience and understanding with our current situation. Hopefully with your help, this won’t be the end of the Paleo Pines adventure.

Lots of love, The Paleo Pines Team

If average global temperature rises are to be limited to 1.5 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels (in line with the 2015 Paris Agreement), climate finance globally will need to increase to about $9 trillion a year globally by 2030, up from just under $1.3 trillion in 2021-22.

According to the International Energy Agency, 30 percent of climate finance globally needed—around $2.7 trillion—will have to come from the public sector, with the remaining 70 percent coming from the private sector.

This is the scale of the world’s climate finance needs. However, when viewed in the context of governments’ other spending priorities, $2.7 trillion in public money is achievable. Indeed, in 2022 governments spent $7 trillion on fossil fuel subsidies alone.

A large portion of that $2.7 trillion must flow to developing countries in the form of grants and concessional loans. Official development assistance (ODA), provided by traditional donors in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), will not get us there alone. ODA hit a record high of $287 billion in 2022 but only because developed countries shifted resources to aid in Ukraine’s defense; in previous years, it hovered around just $236 billion. A surge of right-wing politics in the United States and Europe has forced budgets down, and even Emmanuel Macron’s liberal government in France has reneged on previous aid commitments.

For all but a few emerging economies, developing countries’ greatest climate challenge is not solely a lack of private finance for mitigation projects but a lack of low- or no-cost public finance for adaptation and loss and damage efforts. Despite their social returns, adaptation projects such as infrastructure upgrades and sea walls do not deliver immediate financial returns to investors and are notoriously difficult to scale for the private sector.

Both developed and developing countries have been vocal about the need for new forms of public climate finance beyond ODA, and they are considering different options under the rubric of “innovative finance.” The recognition has been particularly important in discussions on the newly created Loss and Damage Fund. At last year’s U.N. Climate Change Conference in Dubai, or COP28, countries pledged around $700 million to capitalize the fund—including an unexpected $100 million from the United Arab Emirates—but it will need billions of dollars to respond to more than one country crisis. This is why the fund’s bylaws encourage its capitalization through a “wide variety of sources, including innovative sources” inside and outside the Paris Agreement.

There is no single agreed definition of innovative finance, but it generally refers to any financing mechanism or arrangement that mobilizes, governs, or distributes resources beyond ODA. Most innovative finance mechanisms, such as “blue bonds” or the International Monetary Fund’s Special Drawing Rights, still depend on loans and the largesse of rich countries, whose leaders also face tough inflation and consequential elections. These are just two reasons why such initiatives have stalled or failed to live up to expectations.

On the resource mobilization side, many countries have come out in favor of new global taxes to fund climate needs in developing countries. Here, as in other areas of climate, small island states and low-income countries are providing essential leadership. They are also finding allies in the global north. Taxes on shipping, fossil fuel production and subsidies, air travel, financial transactions, and extreme wealth feature prominently in agendas to reform the international financial architecture, such as Barbados’s Bridgetown 2.0 and African leaders’ Nairobi Declaration, and in the recent Paris Pact for People and the Planet. These calls have been taken up by a new International Tax Task Force, launched by France and Kenya at COP28, to deliver a verdict on the options available.

Beautiful ideas and big numbers abound, but the real challenge is more direct: Who pays? Industries will always pass the tax on to the consumer—but which consumers, where? There is also a question of equity and justice: Why should consumers in developing countries be taxed to pay for a problem they did not create?

It’s possible to create taxes that incorporate such concerns. Founded in 2006 by Brazil, Chile, France, Norway, and the United Kingdom and hosted by the World Health Organization, Unitaid is a successful global health program for low- and middle-income countries that receives over half its funding from air passenger levies. The levies—introduced as low as 1 euro for economy seats on flights within Europe and up to 40 euros for business seats on long-haul flights—are collected and earmarked for Unitaid by governments in 10 developed and developing countries. By 2012, the levies were raising between 162 million and 175 million euros per year, totaling 1 billion euros since its creation. According to an assessment by the French government in 2009, “The introduction of the levy had no apparent effect on the volume of air traffic passing through French airports nor on the volume of air traffic affecting France.”

But finding examples of similar financing success is hard, especially on a global scale. Many options have been proposed, such as taxes on shipping, aviation, fossil fuel production or exchange, financial transactions, and extreme wealth, but only shipping has made serious institutional progress. Last year, countries in the International Maritime Organization (IMO) agreed on a decarbonization strategy for the shipping industry that depends on the introduction of a global tax. This would make a tax on shipping, responsible for 3-4 percent of global emissions, the first global carbon tax. According to estimates from the World Bank, such a tax could raise $40 billion to $60 billion per year.

That is the upside. The downside is that the shipping industry and many countries with shipping interests are willing to agree chiefly because they expect the revenues to flow back into the shipping industry to fund their push for ships and ports running on accessible, but still expensive, hydrogen and ammonia fuels. It is difficult to achieve a global tax; it is more difficult still to retain the revenues. As of the last IMO meeting in March, a proposal spearheaded by a group of Pacific small island developing states that would allocate the majority of the revenue to broader climate objectives is one of several options being considered as the economic measure to deliver the decarbonization strategy.

A number of countries have expressed interest in establishing international climate solidarity levies, or ICSLs, to pay for addressing loss and damage, but the campaign is still waiting for a developed-country champion. Should one emerge, ICSLs at the national or city level could raise substantial and predictable additional revenues for the Loss and Damage Fund. Oxford Climate Policy’s Benito Müller, a leader in the current campaign for ICSLs, estimates that a 5 euro air levy on all air tickets across the European Union would have raised around 1 billion euros in 2019, while—following the proposal by the IMO’s Emission Reduction Scheme—a levy of 10 euros per maritime container across the same jurisdictions would in 2021 have generated 924 million euros.

In the end, taxes and levies are a question not of economy per se but of political economy. This is the challenge before the International Tax Task Force: to evaluate and advance proposals based on political feasibility as well as projected impact.

Consider one prominent idea, for a global tax on extreme wealth where billionaires are charged some small portion of their net worth every year. Gabriel Zucman, a top French economist, has championed the idea, as has French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire, who said in April: “This is exactly what we did with minimum taxation on corporate tax. … It would be the same on the international taxation for the wealthiest individuals.”

Just days after Le Maire’s endorsement, finance ministers from Brazil, Germany, South Africa, and Spain endorsed the idea of a 2 percent minimum global tax on billionaires. In a co-written Guardian article, the ministers declared that such a tax would “boost social justice and increase trust” as well as generate more than $250 billion in revenues for governments to invest in public goods. The ministers also urged the G-20 to take up the idea on its agenda at its July meeting, in Brazil. While this is encouraging, U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen dismissed the “notion of some common global arrangement for taxing billionaires with proceeds redistributed in some way. … That’s something we can’t sign on to.” The wealth tax may move forward despite Washington’s concerns, but it is unlike to involve any formal mechanism for redistributing revenues across countries.

Innovative finance is not a silver bullet, nor is it a substitute for developed countries’ existing climate and development obligations. The majority of public funding for climate finance will still have to come from direct government outlays. This requires strong and empowered public sectors in developed and developing countries alike. Recent gains in international tax reform suggest a way forward. More than 140 countries have agreed to impose a minimum effective rate of 15% on corporate profits, a policy launched by OECD countries in 2021. Tax reform efforts in the UN have also picked up speed. Following a historic breakthrough at the UN General Assembly in November 2023, the UN has started the negotiation of the terms of reference for a new Framework Convention on International Tax Cooperation.

Despite the obstacles, we are at an inflection point in the long battle for new global taxes for climate. In addition to the leadership of developed-country and emerging-economy first movers, the continued leadership of small island states is essential. Small island states are champions of ambition by necessity. They sounded the alarm early and led the campaigns for adaptation and loss and damage finance, including in ambitious, practical, and yes, innovative, forms. Today, the world is closer than it has ever been to implementing a global carbon tax—thanks not to the great powers but to the small island states that found a way forward.

 Our “snapshots” are brief, structured case studies that give a taste of the many diverse ways that startups have been trying to grow into community ownership and governance, albeit with mixed results.

The snapshots range from my Colorado neighbors Namaste Solar and Trident bookstore, which converted to employee ownership, to major open-source software projects like Debian and Python, which are mini-democracies accountable to their developers. There is NIO, a Chinese electric car company whose founder set aside a chunk of stock for car-buyers, and Defector Media, a co-op founded by employees who quit their previous job in protest. There are also blockchain-based efforts, like Gitcoin and SongADAO, that have tried to make good on a new technology’s often-betrayed promises for making a more inclusive economy.

I have taken two main lessons from these snapshots so far.

1. There is widespread craving for a better kind of exit—and the creativity to back it up. Entrepreneurs, investors, users, and workers alike are all recognizing the need for a new approach, and they are trying lots of different ways to get it. They are relying on old technology and the latest innovations. They are using many different legal structures and techniques for empowering communities. The resourcefulness is pretty astonishing, really.

2. Better exits need to be easier—and this will require structural change. In just about every case, E2C attempts have faced profound challenges. They are often working at the very edge of what the law allows, because many of our laws were written to serve profit-seeking investors, not communities. Much of what communities wanted was simply not possible. Truly changing the landscape of exits will mean policy change that takes communities seriously as sources of innovation and accountability.

I want to stress this second point. It first became clear to me when working with collaborators at Zebras Unite on the idea of turning Meetup into a user-owned cooperative. The founder wanted it. The business model made perfect sense—a rare platform whose users actually pay for it. The company was up for a fire sale. But we simply could not find investors or lenders prepared to back a deal like that. This is a problem I have seen with many other co-op efforts, over and over. Policy is the most powerful shaping force for where capital can aggregate, and there is no adequate policy to support capital for large-scale community ownership. This is also the reason we have lost many community-owned companies in recent years, from New Belgium Brewing to Mountain Equipment Co-op—the most successful community-owned companies too often can’t access the capital they need to flourish.

Disaster Recovery and Real Estate: How Wildfire Rebuilding Efforts Present Opportunities for Developers

The recent wildfires in Southern California have left devastation in their wake—destroying homes, displacing tens of thousands, and causing an estimated $250 billion to $275 billion in damage, making this the most expensive wildfire in U.S. history. While the loss is staggering, the rebuilding process is already beginning, and with it comes significant opportunities for real estate developers, investors, and contractors.

As federal and state governments allocate resources for recovery, developers and disaster recovery specialists are poised to play a critical role in shaping the future of Los Angeles. The rebuilding effort will be massive, requiring not just immediate repairs but long-term infrastructure improvements. For those in the real estate and development industries, understanding the scope of this opportunity is key to making a meaningful impact while building a profitable future.

A Surge in Demand for Disaster Recovery Contractors

Leading construction firms like Jacobs, AECOM, and Quanta Services are already stepping in to manage critical recovery efforts. These companies hold significant contracts with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to repair infrastructure, remove debris, and rebuild disaster-damaged facilities.

For example, AECOM’s Public Assistance Grant Program focuses on repairing and replacing public infrastructure damaged by disasters, while Jacobs has a $570.5 million hazard mitigation contract with FEMA for rebuilding infrastructure in disaster-prone areas, including California. This type of large-scale coordination will require collaboration across sectors, including private developers, contractors, and public agencies.

In addition to public infrastructure, private real estate developers will be key in addressing the need for housing in areas affected by the wildfires. Developers who are ready to adapt to increased construction demands and shifting regulations will find opportunities to meet the pressing need for high-quality, disaster-resilient housing.

Real Estate Development in a Post-Wildfire Market

The wildfires have not only created an immediate need for rebuilding but have also fundamentally shifted the real estate landscape in Southern California. Developers and investors should consider several key factors:

1. Land Value Shifts: Some areas will see reduced property values due to the destruction, creating opportunities for developers to acquire land at lower prices and rebuild.

2. Insurance Challenges: The withdrawal of major insurers from wildfire-prone areas will push demand for innovative, fire-resistant construction methods to mitigate future risks and attract buyers.

3. Housing Demand: With tens of thousands displaced, rental markets in adjacent, unaffected areas will likely experience a surge in demand, creating opportunities for multifamily and mixed-use developments.

Infrastructure Investments: A Catalyst for Long-Term Growth

Beyond housing, significant investment in infrastructure will transform Southern California’s landscape. Federal support, such as President Joe Biden’s announcement that the federal government will cover 100% of disaster response costs for 180 days, will accelerate projects aimed at modernizing power grids, undergrounding utilities, and building more resilient public facilities.

Companies like Quanta Services, MYR Group, and MasTec, which specialize in electrical grid restoration, will lead efforts to rebuild California’s energy infrastructure. These investments will not only improve safety but also increase the desirability of previously fire-prone areas, opening new opportunities for developers.

Why We’re Committed to Rebuilding

At Kaufman Real Estate, we are deeply committed to helping Southern California recover and rebuild. Having personally experienced the loss of both my home and business due to the wildfires, I know firsthand the challenges that lie ahead. But I also see this as an opportunity to contribute to a stronger, more resilient future.

Our team specializes in innovative, community-focused real estate development that meets the needs of a changing market. We’re actively seeking opportunities to partner with investors, contractors, and local governments to deliver high-quality housing and infrastructure that will help Los Angeles rise from the ashes.

Let’s Build a Better Future Together

The recovery process will take years, but it also presents a unique chance to transform Los Angeles. For developers and investors, this is the time to take action—whether by acquiring land, investing in resilient construction, or collaborating on large-scale infrastructure projects.

If you’re interested in being part of this effort, let’s connect. Visit www.dkaufmandevelopment.com to learn more about our projects, or reach out to us directly at info@dkaufmandevelopment.com

By seizing this opportunity, we can not only recover from this tragedy but also reshape our communities to withstand the challenges of tomorrow. Let’s make an impact—starting now.

How Shelf Corporation Funding Fuels Expansion

Expanding a business often requires a solid financial strategy, and one innovative method gaining traction is shelf corporation funding. But what exactly is it, and how can it drive growth for businesses aiming to scale? Let’s explore how this funding option can transform ambitious visions into tangible success stories.

What is Shelf Corporation Funding?

Shelf corporations, also known as aged corporations, are pre-registered companies that have been legally formed but remain inactive. They carry a clean record and business history without ongoing operations. Acquiring such a corporation can be a shortcut for businesses looking to establish credibility, access financing, or bid on lucrative contracts.

Shelf corporation funding leverages this acquired entity to secure funding, thanks to its pre-existing age and legal structure. This method offers unique advantages over starting a company from scratch, making it a popular choice for entrepreneurs and businesses poised for expansion.

Why Do Businesses Choose Shelf Corporation Funding?

Building trust with lenders or investors can be challenging for newly formed companies. A shelf corporation’s established existence can significantly bridge this gap. But why is age so important? Financial institutions often favor companies with a history, even if it’s inactive, as it shows stability.

Imagine two companies applying for the same loan: one formed yesterday and another established five years ago as a shelf corporation. Which one seems more reliable? The second option often stands out, as lenders perceive it as less risky.

Key Benefits of Shelf Corporation Funding

1. Immediate Access to Credit Establishing credit takes time. A shelf corporation’s age helps bypass this wait by providing immediate access to loans, lines of credit, or business credit cards.

2. Improved Credibility for Contracts Many large contracts require businesses to have a minimum operating history. Shelf corporations meet this criterion, allowing companies to bid for contracts that would otherwise be out of reach.

3. Faster Market Entry When a business is ready to scale quickly, time is of the essence. Shelf corporations eliminate the tedious process of registration, allowing immediate focus on growth and expansion strategies.

Is Shelf Corporation Funding Right for You?

Not all businesses will benefit equally from this approach. For example, companies in competitive industries or those aiming for large-scale projects may find shelf corporation funding especially useful. However, it’s essential to ensure that the corporation being purchased has no hidden liabilities or unresolved issues.

Real-Life Applications

Consider a tech startup aiming to expand internationally. Using a shelf corporation with a five-year history, the company could secure funding more efficiently, establish partnerships in foreign markets, and even bid for government contracts requiring an operating history. This strategy not only accelerates growth but also reduces barriers to entry in competitive markets.

The Road to Expansion

Shelf corporation funding isn’t just about securing money; it’s about opening doors to opportunities that might otherwise be unattainable. It’s a strategic tool for businesses ready to leap toward expansion, offering both financial support and credibility.

In the span of a decade, China has emerged as the developing world’s bank of choice, pouring hundreds of billions of dollars in loans into global infrastructure projects as part of its sprawling Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).

But as its borrowers fail to pay up, China is finding that its newfound authority is coming at a price. Eager to recoup its money, Beijing is transitioning from generous investor to tough enforcer—and jeopardizing the very goodwill that it tried to build with initiatives such as the BRI. China has broken a few bones in Sri Lanka, whose financial turmoil allowed Beijing to seize control of a strategic port, and is hassling Pakistan, Zambia, and Suriname for repayment.

For two decades, countries “were getting to know China as the kind of benevolent financier of big-ticket infrastructure,” said Bradley Parks, the executive director of the AidData research group at William & Mary. Now, he said, “the developing world is getting to know China in a very new role—and that new role is as the world’s largest official debt collector.”

The problem for China is that nobody likes being hounded for money. Chasing down unpaid debts won’t win many friends. It complicates Beijing’s broader aspirations of extending its influence and forging new relationships through economic deals. That tension, experts say, has left Beijing facing an impossible trade-off: Can it collect its money without hurting its image?

“This is a moment where China cannot have its cake and eat it too,” said Zongyuan Zoe Liu, an international political economy expert at the Council on Foreign Relations. “I think China literally has to choose which side it wants to let go. If you want to have your money back, you want to force debt repayment, that basically means you are going to forgo the goodwill.”

Once billed as Chinese President Xi Jinping’s “project of the century,” the BRI was unveiled in 2013 as an ambitious infrastructure development campaign that would crisscross some 140 countries. In practice, the initiative was less streamlined and more opaque. As Chinese lenders scrambled to administer projects under the BRI umbrella, it became a haphazardly executed mishmash of projects with shoddy lending contracts.

BRI was, in large part, a response to China’s own domestic economic challenges, where an excess of domestic production capacity could find no easy outlet, rather than a grand strategy to upend the global order. Following the 2008 financial crisis, Beijing “freaked out” and funneled vast sums of money into infrastructure development as a domestic stimulus package, said Yun Sun, the director of the China program at the Stimson Center.

“The goal was to keep the economy going and keep the economy growing,” she said. “The unintended consequence was that it put China’s domestic industries on steroids.”

Overpumped, the Chinese market became saturated with steel, cement, glass, and aluminum, prompting Beijing to look abroad for answers. Given the size of the overseas market for infrastructure, the logic went, the BRI would allow China to export this industrial overcapacity while also harnessing its foreign reserves and surplus dollars.

“This was about economics,” Parks said. “Now if you fast-forward to today, if the whole purpose of this program is to make money and now you have a lot of deadbeats that are not repaying their dollar-denominated loans, then it probably feels like your strategy is backfiring.”

In 2017, China overtook the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to cement its position as the world’s biggest creditor, although Beijing has since scaled back its lending. But many of its borrowers—still reeling from the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia’s war in Ukraine, alongside Beijing’s lending practices—are now battling to pull their economies back from the brink. Around 60 percent of China’s overseas loans went to financially distressed countries in 2022, compared with just 5 percent in 2010, according to Parks. Unable to pay China back, some cash-strapped governments are pushing for debt relief, forgiveness, or restructuring.

That has put Beijing in a bind. “You make friends when you provide loans. You don’t make friends when you insist on full payment, when conditions have changed and full payment is nearly impossible,” said Brad Setser, a former senior advisor to the U.S. trade representative during the Biden administration, now at the Council on Foreign Relations. “China has put itself in a difficult position because the financial interests of its key policy banks really do now trade off against its diplomatic interests.”

Take Zambia, which defaulted on some $17 billion of debt in 2020 and counts China as its largest bilateral creditor. Over the years, once rosy relations between the two countries have soured as Beijing and Lusaka struggled to hammer out a debt relief deal as part of the G-20 Common Framework. Roadblocks have emerged in the process: U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, who has urged China to forgive Zambia’s debt, recently accused Beijing of being a “barrier” to progress. Beijing, in turn, has blamed Washington for “sabotaging other sovereign countries’ active efforts to solve their debt issues.”

“There seems to be a complete impasse between Zambia and China right now,” Setser said. “Any realistic solution to Zambia’s debt problems requires China’s participation. There’s no possibility of going around China.”

With Sri Lanka, another borrower that has been buckling under the weight of its ballooning debt, Beijing has granted Colombo a two-year debt moratorium. But it has not provided the required financing assurances for the IMF to step in, effectively blocking the institution from offering rescue loans to the country.

Part of the trouble, Parks said, is that Beijing does not have a playbook for navigating debt crises and sovereign debt restructuring. “China has never gone through this before,” he said. “They’re kind of extemporaneously trying to make things up as they go along and try to adapt and iterate on the fly.”

In an attempt to come to grips with distressed economies’ debt restructuring challenges, representatives from the IMF, the World Bank, India, China, the Paris Club, and other lenders and borrowers met last Friday. This week, leaders are again convening for a series of G-20 finance meetings in India, and New Delhi is reportedly preparing a proposal that would pressure major creditors including China to accept a haircut on their loans, Reuters first reported.

“China was hoping to get its money back, plus a nice coupon, a little bit of interest,” Setser said. But it “has discovered, in a significant set of cases, that it’s going to be very difficult to get its money back—and the countries want a break.”

Reduced Administrative Burden: Shared office providers typically handle administrative tasks like mail forwarding, reception services (subject to availability), and even basic IT support (subject to availability). This frees your team from administrative burdens, allowing them to focus on core business activities.

Access to a Business Network: Shared office spaces often house a diverse range of businesses, fostering potential networking opportunities and collaboration within the center.

How to Use Crowdfunding for SME Financing in Malaysia

Crowdfunding has become an increasingly popular way for small businesses to raise funds, especially for entrepreneurs who might find it difficult to secure traditional SME financing through banks or other conventional means. Crowdfunding offers a unique opportunity to connect with potential investors, customers, and supporters, enabling them to contribute small amounts toward your business goal in exchange for rewards, equity, or just the satisfaction of supporting a good cause.

In this post, we’ll explore how small businesses can leverage crowdfunding to secure SME financing, discuss the different types of crowdfunding models, and offer tips for running a successful crowdfunding campaign. Whether you're in SME financing Malaysia or anywhere else, these strategies can help you unlock new funding opportunities.

What is Crowdfunding?

Crowdfunding is the process of raising small amounts of money from a large number of people, typically via online platforms. Unlike traditional SME financing methods, such as bank loans or venture capital, crowdfunding allows business owners to tap into a broader audience, including individuals who are willing to invest in or support a project for various reasons.

Crowdfunding platforms allow entrepreneurs to showcase their ideas and business plans to a community of backers. In return for their investment, backers may receive rewards, early access to products, or even a stake in the business (in the case of equity crowdfunding).

Types of Crowdfunding for SME Financing

There are three main types of crowdfunding, and understanding each one is crucial to determining which model best suits your SME financing needs.

1. Reward-Based Crowdfunding

Reward-based crowdfunding is the most common type used by small businesses. Entrepreneurs raise money by offering backers rewards, such as product samples, exclusive access, or experiences, in exchange for their financial support.For example, an entrepreneur in SME financing Malaysia might use reward-based crowdfunding to pre-sell a new product, allowing them to raise capital for manufacturing without taking on debt or giving up equity.

2. Equity Crowdfunding

Equity crowdfunding allows backers to invest in a business in exchange for equity or shares of the company. This type of crowdfunding is suitable for businesses looking to scale and is often more complex than reward-based crowdfunding, as it involves legal and financial regulations.

If you're looking for SME funding and willing to give up a portion of your company’s ownership, equity crowdfunding could be a great way to raise capital while also attracting investors who are vested in your business’s success.

3. Debt Crowdfunding (Peer-to-Peer Lending)

Debt crowdfunding, also known as peer-to-peer lending, is where individuals lend money to businesses in exchange for the repayment of the loan, often with interest. This type of crowdfunding is a viable alternative to traditional business financing and is particularly useful for SMEs that need working capital but don’t want to give up equity.

How to Run a Successful Crowdfunding Campaign

Running a successful crowdfunding campaign requires a well-thought-out strategy. Here are key steps to help you achieve your SME financing goals through crowdfunding:

1. Define Your Goals and Needs

Before starting your campaign, clearly define how much funding you need and why. Whether you're in SME financing Malaysia or elsewhere, be specific about what the money will be used for. Are you looking to launch a product, expand operations, or fund research and development? Clear and transparent goals will resonate more with potential backers.

2. Create a Compelling Story

Crowdfunding is all about storytelling. People invest in businesses they believe in, not just products or services. Craft a compelling narrative that explains why your business matters, the problem you’re solving, and how the backer’s contribution will make a difference. Be personal and authentic — it will help you connect with your audience on a deeper level.

3. Choose the Right Platform

The platform you choose for your crowdfunding campaign plays a significant role in its success. Each crowdfunding site has different rules, fees, and audiences. If you’re in SME financing Malaysia, you might want to explore local platforms, which cater to the Southeast Asian market. 

4. Offer Attractive Rewards or Equity

In the case of reward-based crowdfunding, your rewards should be enticing enough to encourage backers to contribute. For equity crowdfunding, ensure your equity offering is structured in a way that offers investors a fair return on their investment.

Be realistic about the type and amount of reward or equity you offer. Too little might not incentivize backers, while too much could hurt your business or dilute ownership.

5. Market Your Campaign

Once your crowdfunding campaign is live, it’s crucial to market it effectively. Use social media, email newsletters, and press releases to spread the word. Engaging with your audience regularly helps maintain momentum throughout the campaign.

Many successful campaigns include regular updates, behind-the-scenes content, and personal interactions to keep backers excited. These efforts help create a community around your business and attract more investors.

Benefits of Crowdfunding for SME Financing

1. Access to Capital Without Traditional Lenders

For many small businesses, getting financing from traditional banks or business financing companies can be a challenge. Crowdfunding eliminates the need for banks and other financial institutions, allowing you to access capital directly from individuals who believe in your business idea.

2. Test Your Market Before Launching

Crowdfunding offers you the opportunity to test your product or business idea with a real audience before investing significant resources. If your campaign is successful, it’s a sign that there’s market demand for what you're offering. This can provide the confidence you need to proceed with your business plans.

3. Build a Customer Base

Crowdfunding allows you to build a loyal customer base before your product even launches. Backers often feel personally invested in the success of your business and are more likely to continue supporting you post-launch.

4. Less Risk Than Traditional Funding

Because you're not taking on debt or giving up control of your business (in the case of reward-based crowdfunding), there’s less risk involved compared to traditional SME funding options like loans or equity financing.

Things to Consider Before Starting a Crowdfunding Campaign

While crowdfunding can be an excellent tool for SME financing, it’s not for everyone. Here are some considerations to keep in mind before you launch your campaign:

Time and Effort: Crowdfunding requires significant time and effort in terms of planning, marketing, and engaging with backers.

Fees: Crowdfunding platforms typically charge a fee (usually around 5-10%) of the funds raised.

Not Guaranteed: Success isn’t guaranteed. Crowdfunding is highly competitive, and even well-prepared campaigns can fail to meet their funding goals.

Can Ethereum Overcome the $3.7K Hurdle? The Potential Breakthrough Explored

Key Points

Ethereum’s key support level is at the $3K zone, with the resistance wall at $3.7K.

Binance whales continue to exert selling pressure on Ethereum as it finds a local bottom.

Ethereum is currently experiencing significant support between $3,030 and $3,130. This is the zone where the majority of holders have purchased their Ethereum.

The main resistance, on the other hand, is between $3,640 and $3,740. Beyond this, a rally continuation seems likely.

Market Balance

As of now, 51.58% of Ethereum’s volume is “In the Money”, suggesting profitability. In contrast, 48.04% is “Out of the Money”, indicating potential selling pressure or losses at higher levels.

The “At the Money” band around the current price of $3,337.41 holds only 0.38% of the volume, indicating a fragile balance. Slight price changes could tip this balance.

If the price drops below $3K, it could trigger a larger sell-off. However, a sustained move above $3.7K could confirm a bullish trend continuation.

Whale Activity and Price Patterns

Negative whale activity on Binance has been closely linked with declining Ethereum prices in December. Large-scale transactions have had a significant impact on sentiment and stability.

Conversely, positive shifts in whale activity have historically indicated potential price rebounds.

Ethereum’s price action has shown a classic double-top pattern, a common reversal signal. This pattern formed peaks around $4K before sharply declining to the neckline around $3.4K.

The price then dropped to a low of $3,200, hitting the pattern’s projected target. As the price hit this low, discussions about Ethereum’s vitality resurfaced, suggesting a potential local bottom formation.

Historically, such sentiments often precede stabilization or reversal. If this pattern continues, Ethereum could see a recovery from these levels.

Spot Ethereum ETF Inflows

The Spot Ethereum ETF has seen an influx of $130.76 million. This surge in inflows, after a period of fluctuating but generally lower volumes, marks a significant spike in investor interest.

These strong inflows into Ethereum-based financial products suggest growing confidence among investors, which could potentially stabilize or even increase the asset’s price soon.

Historically, increases in ETF inflows have often been followed by rises in Ethereum’s price. If this trend continues, it could signal a bullish sentiment, confirming the local bottom if investor interest remains sustained.
