About Us
Who We Are
MySaidia.com is a donation and reward-based crowdfunding platform where visionaries without access to traditional investments can turn their ideas into reality with the help of donations from idea backers.
The Swahili language word “SAIDIA” means assist, help or support. The name was chosen for the reason that this is MySaidia.com crowdfunding platform’s ultimate goal, which is to assist visionaries without access to traditional financial investment to turn their ideas into reality with the help of donations from vision backers.
On Mysaidia.com, the backer makes a pledge and receives a reward which may have no or little intrinsic value. The backer does not anticipate any serious return on his/her “investment” and in many ways this might best be viewed as a donation rather than an investment.
Background
Crowdfunding platforms provide much-needed, new forms of financing for startups, SMEs, individual consumers, charities, social enterprises and various community-based projects. There is a great deal of potential for these new forms of finance to provide access to funding, and thereby promote economic development and financial inclusion in developing, emerging and developed countries alike. Underdeveloped capital or credit markets are typical characteristics of emerging or developing countries. This is particularly relevant to small businesses or individual retail clients who lack access to finance. Therefore, where traditional accesses to finance do not exist, new and innovative financial channels, such as crowdfunding platforms help turn great ideas into reality.
Mission
Our mission is to connect startups, SMEs, individual consumers, charities, social enterprises and various community-based projects with people and organisations who strongly believe and support their new ideas.
Vision
To promote economic development and financial inclusion in developing, emerging and developed countries alike through distributed and unconventional access to funding for turning great ideas into reality regardless of geography, gender, race, religion, social status and connections.
