Access to early stage finance is a major barrier for social entrepreneurs implementing energy access business models. The recent development of crowdfunding offers an opportunity for small private companies providing modern energy services in rural areas of the developing world to raise different types of capital to support their development and scale-up phases.

This webinar will explore the crowdfunding option for rural energy projects and provide an overview of different available financing mechanisms and their respective modalities. The presentations will be followed by a Q&A session through live chat.
