Mawwell Launches the First International Crowdfunding Platform with a Special Focus on the Middle East and North Africa Market

DUBAI, UAE and LONDON, May 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --



Mawwell [https://www.mawwell.com ], a new international rewards-based crowdfunding
destination for creative and innovative projects launches the first crowdfunding platform
for the EMEA market.



Mawwell [https://www.mawwell.com ], which means "fund" in Arabic, aims at giving the
opportunity for project creators who may be too small for venture capital firms or too
innovative for bankers, to attract the attention from individuals whose financial support
will help the projects concretize themselves.



"We are very excited about the launch of Mawwell [https://www.mawwell.com ] as the
first crowdfunding platform to fully address the EMEA creative projects crowdfunding
needs." said Joanna Truffaut the Founder and Director of Mawwell [https://www.mawwell.com
].



How does it work?



Mawwell [https://www.mawwell.com ] welcomes projects in the following categories:
Technology, Music, Gaming, Art, Comics, Publishing, Design, Films & Documentaries,
Photography, Fashion



Project creators can post a project in one of the above categories and run fundraising
campaigns, with a deadline and a target amount, in order to fund their creative projects.
Each campaign targets pledgers who are looking to support creative or innovative projects
against non-monetary rewards.



Pledges will automatically be paid to the project owner only if the campaign goal is
reached or exceeded by the set deadline. If not, all pledges will be automatically
cancelled, meaning that it is a neutral operation.



A few examples of projects Mawwell [https://www.mawwell.com ] is launching with (2 of
the 3 below are from the MENA region!):



Qrated [https://www.mawwell.com/projects/17/qrated-cultured-travel-app ]: A cultured
