Company Summary

InPeople offers a web-based, community-focused solution for entrepreneurs who can neither rely on family money, loans or venture capital to finance their start-up. We allow these entrepreneurs to raise funds straight from the crowd by pitching their project to the community of internet users in exchange for a small share of their business’ future revenue over a 10-year period of time. There is no equity bid; entrepreneurs keep 100% ownership.
