Crowdfunding is the practice of funding a project or ventur e by raising monetary contributions from a large number of people\, typic ally via the internet. Crowdfunding is a form of alternative finance\, wh ich has emerged outside the traditional financial system. The Crowdfundin g model is fueled by three types of actors: the project initiator who pro poses the idea and/or project to be funded\; individuals or groups who su pport the idea\; and a moderating organization that brings the parties to gether to launch the idea. Crowdfunding is being experimented with as a  funding mechanism for creative work such as blogging journalism\, music\, independent film and for funding start-up companies. In 2013\, the crowd funding industry grew to be over $5.1 billion worldwide. During March 201 4\, 442 Crowdfunding campaigns were launched globally on a daily basis.
