摘要
A method and apparatus for funding ventures using online funding sites which extends beyond the network of colleagues, friends and family to reach larger existing social networks is described. In some cases, the method and apparatus protects confidentiality for innovative businesses seeking funding using online funding sites. One embodiment of this disclosure includes a social network funding site owned by members for funding ventures that are proposed by its members and funded by such members. Another embodiment of this disclosure includes a social network funding site owned by members for funding ventures that are proposed by non-members and funded by members of the site. Another embodiment of this disclosure includes a social network funding with two platforms (members and non-members) and two affinities (related to members and non-members). Another embodiment of this disclosure includes an umbrella provider that takes on support services necessary for the successful operation of a “reward”- or “equity”-based social network.
