Just found this story about Fundable in a newsletter I receive about breaking trend stories and products. Very interesting, actually something I had kind of thought of for years. I had always wondered why groups of people didn’t get together and do this type of thing before. Examples I had were more of like an insurance plan or financial relief. Guess my ideas always hit closer to home. But the premise goes like this…
Going back to my childhood, I really loved going into the woods and four-wheeling with friends. I never owned my own, just had friends who did. Well, nowadays I’d love to be able to go do that every now and then. My problems are these, 1.) no money to buy a four-wheeler, 2.)no place to put or ride one once I got it, 3.)probably would have a chance to ride it that regularly. So… I setup a Fundable group and try to find 10 other people interested in this activity too. We split the cost of a nice ATV by 10 and each of us ponies up our portion. We buy the ATV, decide who gets to keep it at their house and work out a sharing schedule so everyone can enjoy regularly.
You know, I just thought of a better application. Really nice season tickets to the Colts games. Everyone chip in, buy the tickets and divy out the game schedule.
If anyone’s interested in that one, please let me know.
