For instance, an academic institution can have a digital platform, something like a crowdfunding site, for investors and funders to survey the latest innovative projects done by university students and academics to them. For example, a researcher can sell the idea that he is building an electric car on a school’s crowdfunding site, which will cost $5000 to build, and the potential profit is $ 5 million. Sites like this are legitimate because, these projects are verified.
