CraneMe is a platform that connects aspiring entrepreneurs, philanthropists, and business mentors to stimulate sustainable economic growth in developing countries through crowdfunding. With the help of business mentors and local organizations, CraneMe selects projects that have the potential to stimulate sustainable economic growth which are, then, displayed on the CraneMe website for philanthropists to support. Once a project is fully-funded, the aspiring entrepreneur is paired with a dedicated mentor to form the business.CraneMe will establish partnerships with businesses around the world to reward philanthropists for funding projects in developing countries. Once projects are profitable, business owners will be given the opportunity to fund other projects on CraneMe. Also, funded entrepreneurs will be asked to submit status updates to inform aspiring entrepreneurs and philanthropists of their economic progress.
