33 Needs gives social-aware startups a splendid chance to promote what they do online, and raise seed funding from sympathetic individuals.
On 33 Needs, any such startup is given its own space to explain what situations it aims to solve/alleviate, and how much money it would need in order to make that objective come true. This is primarily conveyed in the form of a video pitch (which can obviously be spread all over the likes of Facebook and Twitter). People the startup resonates with are then given the chance to make a donation, and instead of getting shares in the company they will be getting a set percentage of revenues when (and if) the startup becomes profitable.
33 Needs also takes a 5 percent fee of the money that is raised. But no money will be taken if the goal itself is not met.
The main categories that are featured include Education, Health, Sustainable Food, Community and one named The Planet. And 33 Needs is open to companies from territories other than the US, too.
