Crowdtilt blog

Asking somebody for money for an event that is still in the planning can sometimes give you headaches. Here are three annoyances you can avoid by using CrowdTilt when pooling money from groups. 

Holding large amounts of cash - While most activities can be covered with a few hundred dollars, sometimes you will find yourself collecting larger amounts. Either way, you are now responsible for the money given by other people. We can help you sleep better at night, since we handle the transactions.

Tracking down the last few people - If you run a private campaign and only invite a limited number of people, everybody knows who has not contributed yet and consequently gets “socially pressured” to pay up because everybody else wants the campaign to tilt.

Refunding money if the campaign doesn’t raise the required amount - Think collecting money is difficult? Wait until you have to track down everybody to return it. We simply don’t charge the credit card until the campaign tilts, so you don’t have to worry about this.

While these are the main problems associated with collecting money in the traditional way, there are many more. We genuinely believe that nobody should have to struggle with these.
