13. What we aren’t
• We’re not Kickstarter:
– Kickstarter and Indiegogo rely on crowdfunding to donate money to
creative ideas. AMB simply facilitates the connection between
entrepreneur and investor, and it is up to the entrepreneur to
convince the investor of the projects return on investment (this is an
investment after-all, not a donation)
• We’re not Kiva:
– We are not a micro-loan giving organisation
