One of the best things to happen in the past couple of years has been the rise in the number of Crowdfunding platforms. Crowdfunding has empowered creatives the world over to realise their dreams and create tangible products. ( Check out our post on Crowdfunding here.)

But what happens when the product is made? Where do they go from there? Our Startup Of The Week this week is addressing just that…

Tiny Lightbulbs is a new online hub for independently crowdfunded products and innovations. By “shedding light on the biggest ideas of tomorrow”…

– It serves as an online marketplace and gallery
– Creatives can direct the crowdfunding community that supported their initial concept and idea directly to another community where they can buy the finished product.
– Tiny Lightbulbs of course takes a commission for all completed sales through its’ site.

Tiny Lightbulbs is certainly a niche retailer of sorts but for anyone who wants to truly support independent creatives and take the step beyond the pledge on the crowdfunding site, it is certainly the perfect place.
