Our company is building a new crowdfunding platform for energy poverty (inability to afford basic energy services). However, a lot of people comment that it can just be a feature&#x2F;project on the existing crowdfunding platforms (e.g. Gofundme).<p>So, how do you decide whether it&#x27;s okay just be a feature of a (existing) project or it has the potential to be developed as a new project?<p>e.g. crowdfunding for everything VS. crowdfunding for hardware VS. crowdfunding for energy poverty?<p>Our landing page: energizelives.gridmates.com&#x2F;energy-poverty&#x2F;<p>Homepage is still the old version of the website.<p>We&#x27;ll appreciate any honest comments that you have!
