Yancey Strickler: Demands of Finance

Yancey Strickler Money Quotation saying People are reluctant to let go of cash without good cause or some sort of reward – KickStarter raises project money with both. Yancey Strickler said:
 

 

“Money demands answers … people want to put money into things that they think will be successful” — Yancy Strickler

This quote from Yancy Strickler suggests that when people invest money into something, they want to see results and proof that their investment will pay off. Money that is invested demands accountability and answers about how it will be used and what returns it will generate.

People are more likely to put their money into organizations, businesses, projects or ideas that they believe have a good chance of succeeding and delivering a return, rather than things that seem uncertain or risky. So those seeking money, whether through investments, donations or other means, need to be able to clearly demonstrate to potential backers how they will be successful in order to attract funding.

Lewis Winter: Likes vs Cash

Lewis Winter Money Quotation saying Facebook “Likes” are worthless to someone who needs cash for a project – KickStarter raises real money for artists. Lewis Winter said:
 

 

“Apparently a whole lot of people like something so much they’re not even willing to give it a dollar” — Lewis Winter

This quote from Lewis Winter suggests that sometimes people claim to really like or support something, yet they are not actually willing to back it with their own money even in a small way.

It’s easy for people to say they enjoy or endorse an idea, product, cause or service, but if they are not willing to part with even a minimal financial contribution, then their true level of interest or commitment may not be as great as their words suggest.

Putting money behind something demonstrates real investment and validation, rather than just empty praise or claims of support that are not backed up with financial participation.
