What's great about the world today is if you have an idea, no matter how big or how small, there's a chance you can bring it to life. All it takes is a willingness to say yes – by the creators, designers and the public, who can vote with their dollars. It's lead to an explosion of curiosity around crowdfunding, a concept that allows people to harness the power of the web and a good story to fund their dream projects.
