Tapping on this crowdfunding platform, they are able to create awareness of or gather feedback on their ideas or works. Crowdtivate also allows supporters to easily discover and back new, cutting-edge products and services offered by these entrepreneurs or artists, and to support the project they most believe in.<\/p>\n<p>Crowdtivate is co-managed by StarHub i<sup>3<\/sup> and its partner, Crowdonomic, a crowd-powered technology solutions and strategic advisory firm based in Singapore. The platform has the support from Home-Fix Experience Centre, National Book Development Council of Singapore, NUS Design Incubation Centre and Singapore Infocomm Technology Federation. Crowdtivate is currently open to entrepreneurs and artists to propose projects for crowdfunding. Interested parties can visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.crowdtivate.com\" target=\"_blank\"> www.crowdtivate.com<\/a> to request for an Invitation Code to enter the platform.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Crowdfunding is an extremely popular way for the global community to connect with artists and entrepreneurs, and for them to participate in bringing great ideas to life. Many of the most successful companies today have roots in the crowdfunding community. With Crowdtivate, we aim to tap into a continuous source of innovative and creative ideas from local inventors, and ultimately help them grow as a future business or incorporate them into our service platforms,&#8221; said Mr Stephen Lee, StarHub\u2019s Head of i<sup>3<\/sup> (Innovation, Investment, Incubation).<\/p>\n<p>Crowdtivate accepts ideas or projects related to arts\/books\/films, technology and assistive technology. After an idea or project is accepted, Crowdtivate provides mentorship to create good campaigns, with options for support in business incubation and regional outreach. In addition, the top three monthly Crowdtivate campaigns will receive exclusive assistance, including access to test users, marketing support, startup funding, free software development, invention development, and infrastructure support.<\/p>\n<p>Crowdtivate will be open in May 2014 to supporters and backers to browse, view and fund projects they are interested in.
