Another key advantage of the 2013 Online Crowdfunding Incubator program is that it allows businesses to learn more about ProHatch-s unique Phase-To-Raise crowdfunding process — a one-of-a-kind approach in the industry. Phase-To-Raise delivers a high-level of social, business and financial transparency and accountability to entrepreneurs, investors and donors participating in crowdfunding. Phase-To-Raise helps protect investor/donor risk by requiring business owners and entrepreneurs to deliver three milestone reports tracking how funds awarded were used to execute the plan being funded. Milestone Reports provide visual proof of a project-s ongoing post funding execution using Social Media videos, narrative and photos. Phase-to-Raise is the only platform that delivers funding to entrepreneurs for their business ideas every 30 days, instead of waiting for long periods of time to actually realize funding at the end of a campaign. Phase-To-Raise offers “All-or-Nothing” funding for business and personal projects and “Everything Funds” for philanthropy projects — and — takes projects through four key steps… and .
