There is no force like people united in their cause. iVigil is a novel cause marketing technology that has the potential to spread virally and unite people for changing the world. iVigil launches crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo.com

iVigil, a project conceived and developed entirely in the virtual world of LinkedIn networkers becomes world’s first venture to take the process of democratization of venture formation to the next level – crowdfunding. On Tuesday, April 17th, 2012, at 12.00PM, the iVigil crowdfunding campaign went live on Indiegogo.com, one of the leading crowdfunding platforms.

Pitched as the first ever venture of the crowd, for the crowd, by the crowd, iVigil is the first venture coming out of Crowd Innovation Ventures (Crowdocracy), a LinkedIn group of LinkedIn professionals established less than a year ago with a mission to democratize the process of venture formation in the crowd by contributing towards evolving an optimal model. On the group’s first project launch, Dr Fazal Raheman, the group manager said, “the preceding 9 months had been very hectic. We took several projects through the ideation process, and now we have at least four of them in the pipeline. All of our projects are technology based with disruptive business models. We invite all to visit our website at http://crowdocracy.org and join us in developing crowd ventures and in the process writing the new rules of crowdocracy”

There is no force like people united in their cause. iVigil is a novel cause marketing technology that has the potential to spread virally and unite people for changing the world. At least three practical implementations of the iVigil technology have been announced on www.iVigil.org website. The Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign is launched to raise funds for these initiatives.

iVigil: An innovative tribute to an innovator

Crowdocracy’s first child – iVigil - is now ready for launching a crowdfunding campaign. iVigil is a cause marketing technology that has the potential to disrupt the cause marketing industry. iVigil is being introduced as a tribute to Steve Jobs and undertakes to relive the historical 30 million anti-war protest of Feb 15, 2003. Entering the 10th year of the biggest protest in human history iVigil launched a dedicated www.Feb15.org website and a Feb 15 video.

The Beginning

An idea to develop a technology-enabled platform was first conceived in LinkedIn as a consequence of a discussion that ideated an innovation. That was early 2011. The innovation turned out to be a potential product that could possibily disrupt the functional foods market. To develop that disruptive innovation further and also to build up the IT-enabled platform that would enable collective development of such innovations in the crowd on a regular basis, a special LinkedIn group was formed. That LinkedIn group became the predecessor of what we now prefer to call Crowdocracy.

Crowdocracy essentially brings together within LinkedIn, entrepreneurs, inventors, social media marketers committed to sharing each other’s expertise in developing and spinning off ventures in the crowd. Qualified Co-Founders of each of such ventures are LinkedIn members who contribute their skills only for equity in these ventures. Crowdocracy is now getting ready to launch its first venture: iVigil. Check out the iVigil crowd funding video:
